Yida Huang’s explosive stage presence captured the public’s attention early on. His breakout ballad “那女孩對我說 (She Told Me)”, first released in 2005, remains a classic, and has been covered by many singers over the years—no surprise then that Huang has written and composed tracks for other popular Mandopop artists, including Julia Peng, Elva Hsiao and Zhao Wei. But it’s the raw vocals and bare emotion that stand out on Huang’s music, and his talents have won him several awards.
