    Stefanie Sun: Singapore’s pop sensation Written by Jaime Koh on 10 February 2014 When Stefanie Sun Yanzi (孙燕姿) burst onto the music scene in 2000, she took the Chinese pop music markets in Singapore and Taiwan by storm. Within a year, she chalked up impressive record sales and swept about a dozen Best Newcomer Awards at various music award shows. Despite periodic absences from the music scene, Sun continues to be one of Singapore’s most popular singers. Early years Stefanie Sun Yan Zi (孙燕姿) is a Singaporean singer. Born to an engineering lecturer father and teacher mother, Sun has two sisters. 1 She attended St Andrew’s Junior College and the Nanyang Technological University, majoring in marketing.2 3 Sun started her musical education young. She started learning the piano when she was five years old.4 She also loved to sing. "I was always singing. I remember my primary school classmates used to get very irritated and say, “Can you stop it?” she recalled.5 At 19, Sun enrolled in the Lee Wei Song School of Music. 6 Although Sun was interested in singing, she had not enrolled for the course with the thought of becoming a professional singer.7 Nevertheless Sun’s vocal quality stood out and attracted the attention of her music teacher Paul Li Wei Song. “Her voice has a very unique quality that's not found in anyone else," he said.8 Sun was then selected to go to the Artiste and Repertoire class where the most promising young singers were placed.9 Subsequently, Li recorded a demo tape for Sun and sent it to record companies.

  • Press Release
    Press Release China’s hit reality show ‘Sing My Song’ back at The Venetian Macao Singer-songwriters from season 1 and 2 and celebrity mentors took to the stage of the Cotai Arena (Macao, March 19, 2015) – With The Venetian® Macao as the main sponsor, smash hit reality TV talent show “Sing My Song” returned to The Venetian® Macao’s Cotai Arena Thursday night to film "SONGS OF SPRING" 2015 SING MY SONG WORLD TOUR – MACAO. The concert which featured 16 contestants and two celebrity mentors will be broadcast on CCTV-3. The Macao concert is also the opening show of Sing My Song World Tour in 2015. Produced by Star China International Media Co. Ltd. and Starry Productions, “Sing My Song” has somewhat reinvented the musical reality genre by requiring contestants to perform their own compositions rather than covering other artists’ songs. The celebrity mentors on the night were renowned singer-song writer Tanya Chua and accomplished singer Emil Chow. The duo took the stage with the top 16 singer-songwriters from the studio-based talent show to perform some of their original songs as well as cover versions of some classic tunes such as “Missing is a kind of disease” and “Red high heel.” The very vocal crowd was absolutely thrilled by the wonderful performance. This reality TV series has revitalized the Chinese music industry and brought together the most talented singer-songwriters from China and abroad, including Singapore and the United States. The singer-songwriters who appeared as part of Sing My Song 2015 Macao Concert were all contestants from season 1 and 2 of the show.
