Joanna Wang (王若琳) is a Taiwanese singer/songwriter, daughter of famous Taiwanese music producer Ji-ping “Bing” Wang (王治平). Her debut album, Start From Here, was released in January 2008 as a double-disc set, one in English and the other in Chinese.
Aside Joanna herself, multi-platinum writers such as Canadian icon Randy Bachman, Luke McMaster (Nick Lachey, Rihanna), Damhnait Doyle of “Shaye” fame, Sweden’s Peter Kvint (Robyn, Play), Rob Wells (Backstreet Boys, Mika), Dave Pickell (Lara Fabien, Trademark)… , Bryan Potvin (Northern Pikes, Velvet Empire) and Vincent Degiorgio, who has written songs for Asian artists from Tomomi Kahala to Britain’s Atomic Kitten, contributed to this release.
Recorded in Los Angeles and mixed by Craig Burridge (David Tsao amongst others), it features session players such as Michael Thompson and a host of America’s key studio musicians.
“Start From Here” reached # 1 in Taiwan and has been popular throughout the Southeast Asian region, and was released in Japan in June of 2008.
Creatively, Joanna has occasionally been at odds in public interviews with her feelings on “Start From Here”, clashing with opinions of it being a jazz album rather than pop, and expressing her desire to be a more self-contained artist rather than to be thought of as a “product”. In support of that, it is rumored that her sophomore album will feature more self-penned songs, possibly once again a double album to show interpretations of outside songs and the growth of her own material since her debut outing.

Seriously, I'm chinese and I hate recent mando-pop music for quite some time. But she's AMAZING!! Her voice, her music.. there is so much soul in her that is lacking in the dry generic cpop market these days when all the songs and singers almost sound alike and moreover MOST of them can't sing! Hope to see more artists like her emerging the CPOP scene.
