Career

edit

Su's debut album was first released in early 1990. It was a resounding success, leading to a second album in November that year. Her first five albums were produced by Zhuque (朱雀文化製作) and released by Rock Records. From 1994 to 2002, she was exclusively a Rock Records artiste.

Her most popular albums were: Lemon Tree (1996), where she sang a Mandarin cover of the song by Fool's Garden (a Cantonese cover is available on her Cantonese solo album); Duck (1996), where she covered a pop song by South Korean band JuJu Club; and The Fool (1997), where the title track was composed by Singaporean group Padres.[3]

In 2002, Su was released from her contract with Rock Records. She went on to act in several films and TV series. She later signed a contract with Shanghua Records, a subsidiary company under Universal Music, and released two solo Mandarin albums under Universal. In 2020, Su released her sixteenth Mandarin album, Every Side of Me, under her new company B'in Music.

Personal life

edit

She married her boyfriend of two years, Jimmy Sun (孫益民), who has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, in Hokkaido in March 2014.[4] The couple welcomed a baby boy in April 2015.[5]
