OUT

Zee.

Age: 18

Location: Cape Town

“I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember,” says Zee. In grade 2 she joined the choir after a teacher spotted her talent. That was where she learnt more about music and different genres.

An avid fan of Idols SA, the teenager decided to enter after matriculating last year – her mother’s conditions were that she could enter the show after finishing school and getting good marks.

Zee describes herself as a kind person who loves trying out new things.

She says her Idols SA journey so far has been a rollercoaster. “It’s been a lot of pressure, but fun.”

When she is onstage, Zee says her voice takes over. She hopes to win the show but is relishing the overall opportunity to perform.

She plans to give viewers her best. “It’s literally my heart that will be on that stage. I hope people feel that.”
