Quotes
  • "I really idolize everything my sisters do,so I went into singing contests and won also. That's how I really got into singing."
  • "People liked my voice so much, it was so different. I also combined the R&B feel with the pop music of Taiwan. Everyone there used to sing really conservatively-they sing to the melody and that's it. The music just sounded so dead. I wanted to bring the R&B flavor and other Wester-nized sounds to my music, because that's the type of music I grew up listening to." (about her Asian audience)
  • "When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist."
  • "They cannot imagine what I'll sound like. But always when I'm done singing, people are very surprised."
