YouTube Sensation Zendee Releases First Single "Runaway"

The rising singing star and YouTube sensation Zendee  releases her first ever single "Runaway" under Warner Music Philippines. The song was a natural choice for both Zendee and Warner Music, as it showcases Zendee’s powerful and soulful voice while showing some vocal gymnastics with a refreshing twist.

The 21-year-old from General Santos City, she's the Random Girl who shot to fame singing Jennifer Holiday’s “And I am Telling You” in a videoke kiosk in Megamall. There was no turning back after her Youtube clip went viral, caught the attention of two million viewers, and landed her a spot on The Ellen DeGeneres show. Even international music celebrities like Ryan Seacrest and Carson Daly joined in showering her vocal prowess with praises.
“Having my own song is something that I used to just imagine. Singers recording songs in studios were something that I used to just watch on TV. I never thought that I will also be able to do it and with a major label at that! I feel so blessed, this is really a dream come true!.”


Zendee started singing when she was four years old, in General Santos City, South Cotabato, Philippines. At six years old, she was recording her vocals on cassette tapes and sending these to her mom, who was working abroad then also as a singer, in the hope that she would be “discovered” and they could then be together.

Believing that her talent would give her the means to help her family, Zendee also started joining singing contests, as well as every other singing opportunity that came her way, throughout her teens. She became a scholar of Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.

Runaway is about not allowing difficulties to get in the way of your dreams, just like Zendee did. The song was written by Andrew Fromm, who has also written for the likes of The Backstreet Boys, Nsync and K ci & JoJo. His songs appear in over 45 million albums worldwide and he is quite excited to work with a world class Filipino talent like Zendee. "I'm honored to have co-written a song that I hope will skyrocket Zendee to #1. She has a fantastic voice. It's always insanely exciting to watch such a gifted artist record and release a song you pour your heart into."

“Runaway” is the first local recording to be mastered for iTunes for the Philippines by Warner Music Philippines and Asia Pacific. This means that the recording is digitally optimized for increased audio quality in digital format.

You can preview and download Zendee's Runaway single on iTunes and catch more of her on her social media sites.

Currently recording with Warner Music Philippines, Zendee keeps herself busy with frequent guestings on Party Pilipinas, Manny Many Prizes, to name a few. You may also see her in different shows nationwide, be sure to watch out for updates and her music through:
