Malaysia's multi-talented indie singer-songwriter Yuna Zarai, more popularly known as Yuna, recently struck a creative collaboration with Samsung, where she has pretty much become the face of the GALAXY Note. As you know, Yuna and Samsung have embarked on a special creative project called "The Sparkle Project" where fans and the public can take part in co-creating the music video by submitting visual suggestions and ideas for her single via digital space. Want some insight on The Sparkle Project and of Yuna's typical day with her GALAXY Note? Watch the video after the jump.

The video was shot entirely on the GALAXY Note.

7.30am	Wish I can have another 30 minutes in bed, but busy day ahead! Off to freshen up and get dressed. Hmm…I am feeling for the purple headscarf today.
8.35am	Having a healthy breakfast while checking emails on my GALAXY Note. Also replying to Tweets here… Its way more convenient to type on my Note.
10.05am	Off to a meeting. Traffic is slow, time to check on my day's schedule on my reliable GALAXY Note. Meanwhile, surfing Facebook! ?
10.37am	Just got a fan "GALAXY Note-d" and posted the photo on Facebook. I can easily crop images with my S Pen and doodle on it. Artistic and fun!
12.30pm	Meeting's over. It's time for a cuppa and some lunch. Craving for my favourite sandwich from this lovely deli located just two blocks away.
1.30pm	Received a text from that special someone ? Made my day.
1.55pm	Oh spotted a cute kitten and quickly took a picture with my handy Note camera. The picture quality is so crisp and clear! Surely a great addition to my online picture collection.
2.30pm	Time for make-up and wardrobe. I have media interviews all afternoon! Excited to tell them more about The Sparkle Project ? (www.sparkleproject.my)
4.42pm	Media interviews over. I love talking to my media friends especially on my projects. Now it's time to head over for a recording session and after that, a video shoot!
5.12pm	Crawling through traffic… Time for some videos. ? HD images on this 5.3" wonder, truly satisfying. It feels like watching TV.
6.05pm	Thankfully I have arrived safely and on time…well, 5 minutes late but the team was cool with it.
9.32pm	Day's almost over… Tired but exhilarated. But I manage to record some videos backstage. Edited it and added some funny captions. I shared this with the crew and they really like it.
11.54pm	Time for some shut eye… An interesting lyric just crossed my mind. Need to just write this down into my Note before I forget them. Oh, and set the alarm for tomorrow too.
12.23am	Good night friends and sweet dreams! Zzzz….

Music is one of the most powerful forces of unification. It has the power to heal, the power to help, the power to inspire, and the power to change.

Yuna understands the importance of music and has the ability to write songs that transcend any and all boundaries. With her soft vocals and warm acoustic guitar, this singer-songwriter crafts intriguing and infectious ruminations on life, love, and so much more.

Growing up in Malaysia, Yuna was first inspired by the universal appeal of acts like No Doubt, The Cranberries, and Fiona Apple. At the age of 19, while in law school, she picked up a guitar and began to fervently write. She released her self-titled EP in Malaysia in 2008. The single "Deeper Conversation" became a massive success and went on to win the title of Best English Song at the 2009 AIM Awards, Malaysia's national music awards. Yuna swept the ceremony, garnering Best Pop Song and Song of the Year for her Malay song, "Dan Sebenarnya".

Yuna joined FADER Label in summer 2010 and released her digital EP Decorate in March 2011, which had fans, critics from Billboard, KEXP, The New York Post, and even Russell Simmons himself, who raved, "an amazing new singer…her music is incredible", all instantly praising her talents.

Also in 2011, SPIN featured Yuna in their Buzzcatcher piece, "Eight Bands You Need to Hear Now" and she gave a stellar performance before a packed audience at MTV Iggy's "Best New Band in the World" concert in New York City. Yuna was a finalist in the "Best New Band in the World" competition and the show aired live on MTV's HD Screen in New York's legendary Times Square and was also streamed live worldwide on MTVIggy.com.

In 2012, Yuna releases "Live Your Life", the first single from her forthcoming full-length album. It started getting airplay immediately at Sirius – The Loft, KCRW and KROQ. The music video premiered on MTV2 and was featured on the homepage of VEVO.com. Yuna's self-titled album will be released on April 24, 2012.
