ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

HSIEN CHING, an atypical rapper and singer-songwriter, gained fame in 2018 with viral hits like “Some People Blame Us for Not Going Deep Enough”, “Ching Ching” and “Call in”. Her unique and quirky vibe has also caught the attention of the fashion field. In 2021, HSIEN CHING was featured on the cover of the launch issue of “Perfect” magazine, one of the trendiest offbeat fashion magazines that Gucci promoted. She’s known for A No is No (Netflix’s Wave Makers) and Bowling (At the Moment). With much anticipation, she will release her debut album this March.

?te (Whyte) is a rising star known for her mysterious persona, always hiding behind a hat and sunglasses. Influenced by jazz and soul legends like Billie Holiday and Amy Winehouse, she blends neo-soul, jazz, and lo-fi hip-hop into a distinctive sound. Her 2019 YouTube singles “Santé,” “Insomnia,” and “Cazzo” each surpassed 2 million views. She has performed internationally at Germany’s Reeperbahn Festival and Japan’s Mind Travel Festival. Next, ?te will collaborate with artists from Japan, Italy, the U.S., and the U.K. to expand her global reach with her enigmatic voice.

Andr (an-der) is an emerging bedroom pop artist blending alternative indie pop and R&B. Her music, driven by guitar and environmental samples, features soulful vocals and unconventional songwriting. Her 2022 debut single, “Night Lotion,” landed her on Spotify’s Best of Radar 2023, followed by her EP Hidden Card, which earned a Best New Artist nomination at the 15th Golden Indie Music Awards. In early 2024, she collaborated with Thai synth-pop artist mindfreakkk on the cross-border track “Swapping Socks,” highlighting her versatility and international appeal. Her dynamic live performances, including standout sets at SXSW Sydney 2024 and Melbourne’s Oddshapes Music Festival, have solidified her reputation as a rising star. With her debut album, shhh, it’s under my bed, Andr continues to captivate audiences with her soulful voice and innovative artistry.

Enno Cheng is a multifaceted artist—singer-songwriter, actress, author, and playwright—whose work defies categorization. Her 2022 album Mercury Retrograde, a collaboration with producer Chunho, redefined Taiwanese Hokkien music by merging folk, electronic, and rock elements. It earned her Best Taiwanese Album and Best Taiwanese Female Singer at the 34th Golden Melody Awards. In 2023, she toured internationally in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, and Canada. Her upcoming album, set for May 2025, will feature “Slowly Come to Thee,” a cross-cultural team up with Korean indie singer-songwriter Lang Lee in Taiwanese and Korean, expanding the boundaries of cross-cultural musical storytelling.

TRASH has spent the past 15 years carving out their place in the alt-rock scene with their rebellious, grunge-inspired sound. Drawing influence from Nirvana, their raw energy and emotionally charged music have earned them two Golden Melody Awards nominations for Best Band. A staple at major music festivals, TRASH has rocked stages at SXSW, Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival, Music Matters, and Big Mountain Music Festival, building a devoted fan base across Taiwan, Singapore, the U.S., Malaysia, and Hong Kong. Their 2021 hit “Love” has amassed over 36 million views on YouTube, solidifying their status as one of Taiwan’s most influential bands. In December 2024, they marked a new milestone with a 10,000-capacity headlining concert at Taipei Arena, followed by shows in Singapore and Malaysia, proving once again that TRASH is a force to be reckoned with on the global stage.

Amazing Show is a boundary-pushing “cyber-Taike” band from Chiayi, Taiwan, known for designing and crafting their own instruments. Fusing rock, folk, punk, and electronic music, they create an immersive world of love, deception, and satire, offering sharp commentary on modern urban life. Despite their eccentricity, they remain deeply rooted in the down-to-earth optimism of their hometown. Their self-titled album Amazing Show was released in September 2024, marking a new chapter in their musical journey. In 2025, they will embark on their first Asian tour, bringing their unique sound to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, and Korea.
