Hsiao-Wen Ting
Hsiao-Wen Ting (Chinese: 丁曉雯; born October 2, 1963) is a singer-songwriter, producer, A&R executive, executive manager, and TV host. Currently, she plays an active role in the Chinese music industry, having entered the industry in 1985.
Ting's passion for music started at an early age, when she would watch Taiwanese singing variety show Stars Gathering with her family, and sing along while listening to vinyl records with her brother. As a student, Ting wrote poetry for which she often received positive feedback from her teachers. Ting has said that one reason she entered the music industry as a lyricist is due to the writing training she received in her student life, and the inspiration she got from the rise of the folk era in Taiwan.
In the 1980s, Ting enrolled in the Department of Mass Communication at Fu Jen Catholic University, studying advertisements, films, TV broadcast, and photography. She participated in various annual songwriting and performance contests, including "Cyan Rhyme" (輔大青韻獎) and "Da Xue Cheng" (大學城), achieving first and second places. She received a second place in songwriting with "If I Can" (如果能夠). These recognitions and performances all became the stepping stone of Ting's opportunity of participating in the joint record and led Ting to her debut as a singer.
After the joint album, Ting was signed as a singer in UFO Records Company by Chu Chu Wu, and released the album After Campus with Kevin Lin. When recording her own album, Ting grew interested in the production of records, and decided to emerge into the production side of the business. She left UFO and joined Rock Records, producing music with Jonathan Lee.
As a producing assistant, Ting accumulated experience with big figures in music production, including "Kiss of Silk" (紗的吻) by Michelle Pan (co-produced by Guang Yuan Shen), A Woman's Heart (女人心) by Sarah Chen in 1988 (co-produced by Jonathan Lee), and "I Am Addicted to You" (上了你癮) by Hsiao Shih Tang. Her first time being the producer herself was in 1988 with Flaming Red Lips (烈焰紅唇) by Anita Mui.
Ting's production and songwriting career expanded to working with popular artists and collaborating with the music industry in Hong Kong and China. In the 1990s when the Taiwanese music industry was booming, Ting wrote the lyrics for "You Are the Eternal Pain in My Heart" (你是我胸口永遠的痛) by Dave Wong, the theme song for Wong Kar-wai’s movie As Tears Go By (旺角卡門). The song was a great success and brought Ting to fame. She later published numerous hit song lyrics such as "Green Apple Paradise" (青蘋果樂園) by Xiao Hu Dui (The Little Tigers), "Home Again Without You" (愛上一個不回家的人) by Sandy Lam, "Blessing" (祝福) by Jacky Cheung, "Love is Deeper" (愛得比較深) by Sarah Chen, "Years of Youth" (青春夢) by Alan Tam, and "My Love My Dream My Home" (我的愛我的夢我的家) by Fong Fei-fei.
Ting has produced and supervised best-selling albums including Conquer (征服) by Na Ying, In One's Own Room (在自己的房間裡) by Gloria Yip, Infatuated Me (癡心的我) by Samuel Tai, and Worth It (值得) by Sammi Cheng.
Ting has performed in numerous concert venues in Taiwan, including Taipei Arena, Kaohsiung Arena, Legacy Taipei and Taichung, Taipei International Convention Centre, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Riverside Live House (Ximen and Gongguan), and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. She has also performed in Chinese venues Oriental Wende Plaza in Guangzhou and Wuzhou Auditorium One in Beijing. Ting organized a solo concert There's a Song in Everyone's Heart (每個人心中都有一首歌) in 2014, 30 years after her debut. Till this day, the concert recordings are still being replayed by Taiwan Public Television Service.
