Taiwanese pop queen Chang Hui-mei, better known as A-Mei, will perform two nights of her greatest hits in Shenzhen in April.

Born in the rugged mountains of eastern Taiwan, Chang made her debut in music in 1996, achieving rapid commercial success. She has been called a diva of the Mandarin pop music scene. She has won numerous music awards and is popular within the Mandarin-speaking world.

Like most Taiwanese aborigines, she was exposed to tribal music during her childhood. Her mother used to record herself singing, then play back the tape for her daughters to hear. Chang had always been fascinated by music; she once said that she was stuck to the radio and would rush to watch the late night music programs introducing English songs when she was a little girl. She also showed great eagerness to perform in public, even forcing her friends to listen to her sing.

Chang first got started in the entertainment industry by joining the televised “Five Lights Singing Contest” on TTV in 1994 after her father encouraged her to join. Her performances impressed the judges, and she was awarded the championship.

Chang was selected to be one of the coaches on “The Voice of China” (Season 2), along with Wang Feng, Na Ying, and Harlem Yu.
