Faith Yang
Taiwanese singer Faith Yang grew up in Sydney, Australia and studied biology and genetics at the University of Sydney. After graduation, she returned to Taiwan to start her music career. In 1996 she signed with Magicstone Records. Her first two albums were heavily influenced by the Australian pub rock style, with a gothic undertone noticeable in tracks such as “Silence,” “Fear” and “Monster,” while her third album has a lighter pop style, with only hints of the anger evident in the first two recordings. All three albums were major hits in Taiwan and in 2000, she won the Taiwan Golden Music awards for Best Female Performer and “Silence” got nominated for Best Album.
Yang did not renew her contract with Magicstone, claiming the label had become too commercial for her style of music. In 2004 it was reported that she had signed with Sony label Silver Fish Records. Her album “Continuation” was released in 2007 and “Self-Selected,” an album of English-language covers, released in 2009.
She also works as a fashion and cosmetics model for companies such as Rado and Neutrogena, as well as continuing to perform in Taiwanese pubs.
