Tracy Huang

Born on August 29, 1951 in Jiaoxi Township, Yilan County, Taiwan, Mandopop star Tracy Huang studied music and dance at the Chinese Cultural Institute and cut her teeth singing western pop with various local bands in Taiwan. With over 50 albums in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin to her name, she first rose to prominence in the '70s, releasing her debut Mandarin album, Yunhe, in 1974 before emigrating to Singapore. Changing her name from Huang Yingying to Tracy Huang in 1975, she began laying down roots in the Singapore music scene, signing to EMI Singapore and releasing her first English album, the gold-certified Feelings, in 1976. The LP helped to seal her fate in Singapore and Hong Kong, and she carried her success over to Australia, where she became the first Asian artist to release an English album. She also continued to build on her reputation in Taiwan with the likes of 1979 album Another Goodbye. The '80s saw her expand her repertoire, collaborating with composer Wang Fu-ling and Tan Jianchang and Xiaoxuan – with their joint album Whispering (1981) winning the Taiwan Golden Tripod Award for Best Album – while also recording several TV and film soundtracks. The '80s also marked a move from EMI to Polygram, with 1982 Mandarin LP Only Separation making waves in Taiwan. She set up her own production company, Inner Music Production, in the early '90s and continued to make TV appearances, later returning to EMI in 1995 for another successful run of albums. The '00s and '10s yielded a smattering of albums and singles in and in 2016, she was given the prestigious Golden Melody Award for lifetime contributions.
