Last modified: December 13, 2011"Super-glam electro pop diva" - MTV Iggy
Malaysian electro-pop artist ZE! (aka S.uper A.ce E.lectro R.ebelle or also previously known as Saer Ze) redefines glam with the release of her new album I Am Glam on her own label Catapult Creative. This loud and brash disco rebel is hugely influenced by Madonna and her style has drawn comparisons to Peaches, Yelle, M.I.A., Lady Gaga, The Ting Tings, CSS and Santigold.
After being kicked out of Malaysian Idol in 2005, ZE! decided to find her audience elsewhere, packed her bags and left for London. ZE! has since toured all of Europe, Australia, Brasil, performing to crowds of upto 15,000 and has just completed a 1st North American tour playing at SXSW Festival (2011 Official Showcase) and was featured on CNN iReport, LA Weekly, MTV Iggy and Quiksilver Pro NY / France.
She has shared the stage with Joachim Garraud, Steve Aoki, Crookers, Laidback Luke, Crystal Castles, Chicks on Speed, AC Slater, Drop the Lime, The Vengaboys, Don Rimini, Mickey Moonlight, Inquisitive & Afrikan Boy - and has 3 songs featured on Joachim Garraud's latest album Invasion 2011 (which debuted at #1 on iTunes).
From the day she began gigging back in '99, ZE! has always been known for her passion for fashion; she used to run OSIXNINE boutique with her sister and has modeled for designers Stevie Boi, KLxTL, Charles of London, Criminal Damage, Lonely 8-bit Heroes and headlined fashion events by Reebok, adidas, Tony Hawk and Vice Magazine. ZE! styles herself and designs her own outfits, making every one of her shows a little catwalk of her own.
ZE! has been nominated for 'Best Local English Artist' AIM Award (aka Malaysian Grammys) and was a finalist in the Asian Talent Show 'Sutasi'. Her songs have gone to #1 on Hitz.fm and have been heard on TV shows like 90210, MTV Styl'd, The City (a spin-off of The Hills) & The League. Her music videos 'I Am Glam' and 'In The House' (with Goldfish & Blink) are aired on MTV.
Watch out for more from this disco queen!

They said it;
"Congrats Ze! You rocked the place." - Joachim Garraud
"She's dope." - Steve Aoki
"Fun song!" - Perez Hilton (on 'Haircut')
"Great show!" - Laidback Luke
"Nice voice!" - Larry Tee
"Cool." - Rob Birch, Stereo MCs
"You are ace." - Operator Please
"Brilliant show." - Declan, Electric Picnic
"This girl’s got what it takes for sure. She can even make roller blades look hot." - MTV IGGY
"ZE pretty much bangs out music according to her moods, which, while artistically appealing, may influence you to question her sanity. Nevertheless, it’s a good first effort, a little absurd, but all the more interesting because you’re going to wonder about what she’s going to be up to next." - FHM Magazine
"Falling somewhere between MIA and Lady Gaga - and at the same time completely unlike either." - The Wire Mag
"With a club-bumping single atop the charts at home and a badass attitude that needs no translation, the flashy Malaysian sensation has her sights set on the global stage.” – Deborah Sengupta Stith, Austin 360
"Ze has captured the sounds of New York City house, dance, electro music and vocals of a Madonna offspring." - GrungeCake
"She is becoming increasingly well known, as much for her music career as for her eclectic fashion sense, which throws together Lady Gaga and Grace Jones with a smidgen of Kiss stirred in for good measure." - Abirami Durai, FACES Magazine.
"Known for her weird and wacky stage get ups and synth pop club sounds; Ze! is best described as part M.I.A., part Gaga and part Madonna but equally a trendsetter in her own right." - Danielle Marsland, X-press Magazine.
"What can I say? She rocked the house and brought it down with her stellar electrifying performance!" - Emma Lee, Juice.
"The ultimate gay performance for the day." - Benn Dorrington, Out in Perth
"Malaysia’s Lycra-clad answer to Lady Gaga, provided a fittingly exotic conclusion the main festival last night." - David Craddock, PerthNow.
"With her audacious lyrics, electro-clash sound and devil-may-care attitude, she is far from the typical girlie girl." - Areti Sakellaris for AOL Spinner
"I Am Glam is a four-year triumph which has seen Ze! grow from an indie DIY darling into a poised and uber cool electro-glam ambassador. It sees her rubbing musical elbows with the likes of Peaches and Shirley Manson, increasing her cool factor by ten at least." - Electroqueer.
"Ze did more than think though, she just went ahead with it ... rather shamelessly." - Rizal Johan, The Star
“Ze can be 2009's superstar… Not that its never been done before, it just hasnt been done this well.” – Winnie Cooper
“…a style M.I.A. would be jealous of I'm predicting some fairly big things for Ze! in 2009.” – Mr Jones
“…ein super Konzert.” – wagg.de
"She comes with a style so unique and of her own – a mixture of glam, glitter, some pop combined with disco and rock! I’d have to say she’s Madonna mixed with Courtney Love – added drops of Santogold!" - MoGeezie
“Love the attitude! – Jon Paul Hoppe
“Great performance!” – CS Gigswap
“A big thank you for your performance on Sunday, the crowd absolutely loved it!” – Mark Coleman, Blue Nose Sunday
“I love your work!” – Kendrick Daye, Art Nouveau Magazine
“Coloré, provocant, sexy, et dansant! Bravo.” – Benoit, Chronique Musicale
“You look so fresh!” –Pharah, Mahoyo
"Ze’s style (music and fashion-wise) has always been the kind to wake up to without that necessary hit of caffeine in the morning." - Charlene Joseph, Voize.my
"Thanks for the performance, heard many enthusiastic stories!" - Ciccionina
"Electropop chick export from Malaysia is raving it large." - Magmug
"Not your average girl." - New Strait Times
"The lady is as exuberant as her wardrobe." - Too Hood To Care
"Supercharged lyrics and colours are what make up Ze!...she brings a loud, smooth and above all glossy sound to the pop world." - Liberating Style
"Dope styling, crazy colors, cheesy visuals, mad retro!" - thinkCONTRA
