Z YAN  欣彦

Despite her young age and petite frame, this Malaysia songbird harnesses a mature and sensuous voice that is full of body. The Malacca-born lass diligently honed her skills by singing at various Chinese music cafes during the late 90s and eventually released her first Mandopop album in 2007.

 

Thereafter, Z Yan accepted stints at overseas casinos and hotels. Although she started out as pop singer, it was there that she discovered her liking for jazz and bossa nova and became the first Chinese singer to sing Bossa Nova in Chinese, earning her the nickname ‘Bossa Princess’. The ‘Brasileiro’ album also made it to the cover of Hong Kong’s Audiophile magazine ‘2011 CD Bible’, an authoritative audiophile album guide listing the 800 All-Time-Best audiophile recordings.

 

Besides singing, she has also acted in movies, TV dramas, brand ambassador, had a leading role in the 2009 production of ‘Magical Mirror; The Musical’, and actively participates in charity work. 

​

In addition, the album also made it as "The Top 10 Best Album" in Hong Kong <Headlines> Music Magazine, ranked number 6 in overall, number 1 among all Chinese albums. 

 

 <Mystique Song>, a modern poetry meets music concept album, is now released in Vinyl with CD. It has been streaming on all the global digital platforms since November 2020.

撇開她嬌小的身軀和年輕亮麗的外形，這位馬來西亞歌手擁有純熟和感性的聲線。馬六甲出生的她，在90年代末開始唱遍各個民歌餐廳而練就了一幅好技巧。最終在2007年發行了個人第一張華語流行專輯《心願》。之後，欣彥不間斷受外國大酒店及賭場邀約表演，贏得了連連喝彩。

 

雖然她開始於流行樂，她始終發現最愛的還是爵士樂和芭莎諾瓦，因而成為了第一個將芭莎諾瓦曲風結合於中文流行樂的女歌手，有“芭莎公主”美名之稱。 “芭莎公主”這張專輯推出之後得到極大迴響，同時登上香港《發燒音響》雜誌《2011 CD聖經》封面，併入選為有史以來最靚聲的800張CD之一。

 

除了唱歌之外，她也參與電影，電視劇的演出，產品代言，在2009年參與了馬來西亞和中國合作的大型音樂劇《寶鏡》， 擔任要角，與鳳凰台名主播李輝飾演母女。一直以來，更是活躍於參與各個慈善活動。

​
