Known as 'The Best Dance Music Singer' in her native China, Sa Dingding is a unique and hugely talented artist who combines different kinds of Eastern and Western music. The result is a powerful, sophisticated and entirely appealing sound. The track 'Alive', for example, contains Chinese Folk Music and Western electronica, overlaid with her strong, haunting voice that can be described as both pure and sexy.
Sa Dingding is signed to Universal records. Iain Snodgrass, Marketing Director said "No other Chinese singer/songwriter has received the level of worldwide interest that Sa Dingding is generating. Sa Dingding is very special and well chosen to lead China onto the world stage."
As a product of modern China, Sa Dingding has developed a deep interest in the country's minority religions, particularly Buddhism. This is reflected in the 'Alive' album, which includes singing in the ancient language Sanskrit (the only artist in China to do so) and Tibetan. She plays several Chinese instruments, choreographs and has even created her own language where new words are formed from the emotions evoked by music.
Notes for Editors:
Born in Mongolia to a Mongolian mother and Chinese father, Sa Dingding developed a fascination for ethnic minority music at an early age. At 18, she released her debut album and earned recognition as 'The Best Dance Music Singer' in China. Her interest in Buddhism, Dyana Yoga and Sanskrit has unleashed her rare creative talent and expanded her musical boundaries. In her own country Sa Dingding is a regular performer at prestigious events such as the MTV Style Gala and CCTV-MTV Video Music Awards.
