Zii Jia turns singer-songwriter with debut song to launch on Thursday

Lee Zii Jia is set to show a whole other side of his skill-sets to Malaysia as he prepares to release his own song, written and performed by him titled “Ten Thousand Emotions, in Portrait” on Thursday.

The country’s men’s singles ace, known to be a keen singer/songwriter, often films himself strumming the guitar and performing song covers on Instagram and Douyin.

According to Lifestyle Asia, the shuttler would be exploring his off-court passion by working together with mobile communications giant OPPO in conjunction with the launch of the upcoming OPPO Reno6 Z.

The All-England champion is set to garner a wider audience when he goes live with his singing debut.

Lee already amassed a widespread fanbase after featuring at his maiden Olympics in Tokyo, with 742,000 followers on his official Instagram page alone.

The world number eight crashed out in the last-16 to China’s former gold medalist Chen Long after a spirited performance that stretched to three games.

Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen then went on to beat Chen Long 21-15, 21-12 to claim gold.
