Stefanie SunStefanie Sun (Chinese: 孫燕姿 Teochew: Sng ⁿ-chu Mandarin: Sūn Ynzī) is a Singaporean songstress. She was born July 23, 1978 to Sng Yeow Hong (孫楊黃; Sng Iⁿ-hng) and Sng Ee Kwai (孫燕佳; Sng ⁿ-koai). She has a younger sister. She attended Nanyang Technological University, and made her musical debut in June 2000 with the release of her first, self-titled album, 孫燕姿 (Sūn Ynzī). She is arguably the most popular local artist in her native Singapore, being one of the only major award-winning Chinese popular musicians from Singapore. Her meteoric rise in the Mandarin pop music scene seems to have inspired many more Singaporean artists to expand overseas. Local artistes who have made it big in Taiwan, China, and Hong Kong following her include JJ Lin and Huang Yi Da. Although she is Singaporean and spends much of her time in Singapore, she does most of her recording in Taiwan, where she is also vastly popular. Although her native language is Teochew, she sings almost exclusively in Mandarin and English with the exception of her song Thiⁿ-o-o where she sings, in Mandarin, about a traditional Teochew song her grandmother used to sing to her. In her lyrics, she includes the first six words of this folksong in the original Teochew: "Thiⁿ-o-o, beh lo̍h-hō" She has won over 33 awards and other accolades for her music in the course of her career, in Singapore, Taiwan, mainland China and Hong Kong (as well as at the pan-Asian MTV Asia Awards). Most of her albums are titled in both Chinese and English. She also sang national day parade theme song "we will get there"(2002) and "one united people"(2003). In 2003, she decided to take a one year break from making music, and returned in late 2004 with a new album titled "Stefanie", intended to be a mirror of her debut album (self-titled as well, but in Chinese). This was to symbolise her return with a newcomer's attitude. She also started her own company, Making Music, during this sabbatical. Albums: - 孫燕姿 (同名專輯 self-titled), June 8, 2000
