Just randomly found out about her while browsing some random blog….just now.
Lee was a finalist in the popular talent contest Singapore Idol, where she was known for her high-energy performances and controversial “bad girl” image. Maia was voted Number 8 in FHM Singapore’s World’s Most Sexiest Women list, and the FHM Most Outspoken Babe 2005 award. Lee graced the May 2005 cover of the popular male lifestyle magazine FHM.
Lee is part of the local techno trio, The Usual Suspects, who have had three Number 1 hits on the local station WKRZ 91.3 FM, namely “China Girl”, “The Love You Promised”, and “Sunburn”. “The Love You Promised” has also been released in Japan and Europe, receiving airplay as far as Scandinavia. Famed German dance music prodigy, Cascada (’Miracle’, ‘Bad Boy‘), even picked the song up and recorded a remix released in December 2004. (wikipedia)
She’s like a cuter and shorter female version of Anthony Bourdain…and is pretty gutsy considering she labels herself as pansexual. Since Singapore is a homophobic society, it’s cool she doesn’t care.
She had quit secondary school at the age of 15, making a choice to learn through backpacking instead of sitting in front of ‘the dead-beat’ syllabuses. For a year, the then 15-year-old feisty teen went solo backpacking to countries like Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, immersing herself in local culture, gaining life experiences. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why Maia sticks out like a white rose among the red - she comes across as an in-your-face Asian. (kpopwiki)
How is that not hot? I can’t say I know much about her music since I just learned about her….and I’m not sure if I want to, so I’ll just stick to thinking she’s one hot little momma.
