posting this on tumblr now while i work on the music video art. an original remix i did of World's End Dancehall by wowaka, ft my beloved ZETHIEL JIN and a friend's private UTAU ^_^
And as always, I'll be putting some words of personal contemplation beneath the cut here.
I started ZETHIEL's channel in early 2022, with the intention to just keep things lowkey and casual, but have fun with conveying singing in my own way.
I've seriously grown a lot in music since then, as I progress through my degree program and gained more opportunities to work with new collaborators and attend prestigious events for my music and singing...
2024 was the year I started putting a lot more effort into ZETHIEL's channel and existence and he's something I want to continue putting effort into.
2025 is definitely less active overall than 2024 for a few reasons, mainly due to IRL being busy -- moving, surgery, final semester... But also a lot of behind-the-scenes work I'm doing for other projects and clients. I'm very thankful many people trust me with my music for their collaborative projects, and that I've been able to take on more commissions this year with very happy clients. I pride myself in this.
ZETHIEL got his first original song this year, which was definitely a huge milestone for him -- and on top of that, one collab original song and two vocal features in my friends' original songs! I always want to expand his reach more and more to reach many different corners of the Internet.
ZETHIEL shares his birthday with my HRT start date. Part of ZETHIEL experience is definitely the progression of my voice on T, which is evident if you compare a cover from 2022 vs 2023, 2024, 2025 and so on. This is also reflected in the UTAU/RVC voicebanks, you can hear the gradual maturing of the voice. As my voice changes and as I progress through life and discover new music, so does the direction and angle for ZETHIEL shift with my personal preferences.
Singing on T can be really difficult, but because of my love of singing and prior classical training I've been able to get a handle on my voice pretty easily. In 2023 I got to sing at Sydney Opera House for a choir event -- the auditions for this event were in 2022. In 2022 I was only 3 years on T. It's definitely one of the major accomplishments of my life so far and I think it really shows my dedication to music and singing.
Vocally, one thing that became more of a thing for me this year was the utilization of my lower range. I also was able to have a new mic that can capture this aspect of my range and I can use it to convey new aspects to ZETHIEL's expression. I really love my new mic and I think it works well with my voice so I'm hoping to do more with it!!
I also plan to re-cover some of my older cover songs since it's been a long time already. I lose track of time, honestly... how even just 1 or 2 years can be a lot of change in my voice and it's totally fine for me to sing the same songs again since my voice has changed so much. So maybe I can get to those if I have the time amidst everything (probably I'm expecting to have more time after December, lol)
Kamitsubaki Studio has always been my #1 big vocal inspiration. One thing that sticks out to me about their vocal direction is that, the range of your voice may be physically limited in some ways, but you can most absolutely compensate through an expression that is undeniably real and full of depth. Some of their most powerful vocalists aren't even belters per se, and I'm not really a belter myself either (well ... I can belt, just not super duper high like you'd expect from a voice with my timbre LOL) so, yeah. I cover a lot of songs from Kamitsubaki, they're just so compelling and pretty... They really help to continually bring out the most of the potential I have and it's thanks to them ZETHIEL exists the way he does now. They really understand the meaning of art and music, at least in a way that I strongly admire and relate to, so that's something I want to convey I'm being inspired by in the way I sing, select songs, and convey stories/emotions.
The nature of my voice and age is that things will always be changing, so there's always room to be improving, refining, and taking things to the next level. I'm super thankful for everyone who has stuck with me and joined me on this journey with my music and with ZETHIEL, for everyone who loves and supports ZETHIEL, I'm doing it for you and me. I'm so happy to talk about him with my friends and mutuals and listeners and how he's made an impact in other people's lives... People even draw him on their own without me even asking sometimes, which is really really incredible to me! My friend even used him as a writing subject in a school assignment, LOL. I cherish that a lot and it's this small circle that is just always, always there for me that keeps me going no matter what. The passion I give forth is reciprocated. I'm super, super thankful for that -- truly. Several years ago, I had no such thing like this. So it's something I won't take for granted.
Happy birthday ZETHIEL, and happy 6 years of HRT to me. For the future to come, I will continue to dedicate my love and passion to my music, and the expressions I wish to convey through these modes of art.
