Came to America with her family in 1975, the youngest of 16 children. Raised in the only Vietnamese family in semi-rural Bristol, Pennsylvania (outside Philadelphia), developed interest in music from the age of 4. Appeared in high school productions, then studied SE Asian politics at Yale. Sang in pop group "Collage", which she describes as "all-female version of Boys II Men." Still aspiring to make career as a doctor instead of performer, she moved to Los Angeles to complete pre-med courses. But a sideline class in documentary film prompted Zoe to make a 5-minute documentary which earned runner-up award. As of 1999, a grad student in USC film school, where she also gained recognition for her documentary "I Am Viet Hung:Vietnamese Hero." Recently completed recording of pop/rock CD. Hide
