Genesis
Zuo En is a Singaporean singer-songwriter who wrote her first tune after being inspired by Taiwanese artists Mayday and Cheer Chen. Being fascinated with the emotions that music creates, she weaves them into her quirky songs tastefully, and uses her songs to express her love for sharing her emotions and thoughts. Zuo En released her first original single 《幻想》in 2010.
Zuo En has performed extensively in venues such as the Esplanade Waterfront Stage, the Esplanade Concourse, The Arts House, and the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre.
In March 2020, Zuo En released her long-awaited first original album ‘zuò’, which is now available on all major digital music platforms.
