Local Talent: Spotlight on Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua
updated the Saturday, June 18, 2016This musical goddess has been doing what she does best for almost 20 years now.
If you’ve heard the heartwarming 2001 National Day Parade theme song Where I Belong, you’d know her honey-sweet voice. Gorgeous Singaporean singer-songwriter Tanya Chua, now 41, has been lauded several times over for her vocal prowess and soul-stirring sound. Most notably, she has achieved the impressive status of being a 3-time Best Female Vocalist Golden Melody Award Winner – a praiseworthy triumph if we do say so ourselves.
While Tanya began her career singing English songs, debuting with her album Bored in 1997, the artiste is most famous for her Mandarin songs. Her penchant for singing in Mandarin eventually prompted her to move to Taiwan in 2006 in order to focus her efforts on the Chinese music industry. However, we’d like to say that no matter what language her lyrics are in, her sultry voice manages to capture emotion beautifully.
If you enjoy crystal clear vocals with a touch of melancholy and sweetness, head over to Tanya’s Youtube Channel to check out some of her gorgeous work. You’ll see why this award-winning sweetheart has got us all swooning.
