Hebe Tian 田馥甄 "The Girl Who Loves To Sing"

Tian 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 a Taiwanese singer, actress, TV program hostess, and most notably a member of Taiwanese Mandopop girl group S.H.E. She 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. She finished high school but did not attend college. 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.

Hebe has released two solo albums in 2011 and 2012, To Hebe and My Love. Some of Hebe's solo songs include: Too Much, Ferris Wheel(摩天輪), Someone Else Love's You(提我愛你), and Too Late(來不及). Hebe also came out with a duet with boy band Fahrenheit singing in Only Have Feelings For You(只對你有感覺) which became such a famous song, it was named Best Duet Song in Taiwan. She has also starred in one of Jay Chou's(周杰倫) music videos, Retreat(退後).
