Huang Ching-ya

Huang Ching-ya began learning piano when she was five years old. In elementary and secondary school, she accompanied the orchestra and the choir on the piano. In college, she joined the choir, and in graduate school, she began her career as a composer and lyricist. In 2000, she released her first album of original songs, Look at Luna. Due to the elegant rhymes in her lyrics and her beautifully airy singing tone, and a style that differed from the melancholy style of most Hoklo songs, her songs brought a commendable freshness to the music business, and so earned the love and support of many music fans. After becoming the mother of two children, she turned her attention to writing children’s songs, and was honored at the 18th Golden Melody Awards with the award for Best Lyricist in the Traditional Music category for the title song to the album Where Is Spring.

Huang Ching-ya’s compositions and performances are inspired by the roles that she has played as a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a friend and a poet as well as the experiences of her daily life, resulting in songs that are profoundly moving sketches of life.
