Tien Fu-Chen (Chinese: 田馥甄; pinyin: Tián Fùzhēn), more commonly known as Hebe, was born on 30 March 1983 in Hsinchu City, Taiwan. She is Taiwanese, and most notably a member of Taiwanese Mandopop girl group S.H.E. Hebe is the second child in her family. After living in Hsinchu for eighteen years, Hebe moved to Taipei after she was signed as a singer. In 2010, she released her first solo album, with eight music videos each having more than 10 million views on YouTube. On 6 December 2014, she held her first solo concert at Taipei Arena, with 22,000 tickets selling out completely within 10 minutes.[7] Her song, A Little Happiness, or 小幸运 became the first Chinese video to cross 100 million views on YouTube in August 2016. The record was achieved in 397 days. She finished high school, but did not attend college.
Music career
On 8 August 2000, HIM International Music held a "Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest" in search of new artists to be signed onto their label. The staff of the TV show "Cruel Stage" encouraged Tien to participate in this televised competition. The contest had about 1,000 contestants, and after several rounds of competition, seven contestants remained for the final round. In the first round, Tien's voice began to crack while singing Return Home. As a result, she decided to sing in a lower key in the final round, choosing Singaporean singer Kit Chan's Loving You (喜歡你, Xi Huan Ni). However, because she was unfamiliar with the song, about ten seconds of the final lyrics went unsung. Following the competition, the Taiwanese record company gave all seven contestants an audition. The show's manager appreciated her straightforward personality and powerful vocals. As a result, Hebe was invited to become a member of S.H.E, with Selina Jen and Ella Chen, and was signed under the Taiwanese record label HIM International Music.
Solos
- During her career with S.H.E, Hebe has sung two solo songs for her band's albums, Too Much and Someone Loves You Instead of Me (替我愛你 Ti Wo Ai Ni); both songs are on S.H.E's first album, Girls Dormitory (女生宿舍 Nü Sheng Su She).
- For two Taiwanese drama soundtracks, Hebe recorded two solos, namely Ferris Wheel (摩天輪 Mo Tian Lun), for the Reaching for the Stars soundtrack (真命天女 Zhen Ming Tian Nü), and Too Late (來不及 Lai Bu Ji), for the Bull Fighting (鬥牛, 要不要 Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao) soundtrack.
