Chinese-American singer-songwriter Shunza, who has teamed up with the Red Groove Project, is now touring major cities on the Chinese mainland

When Chinese-American singer-songwriter Shunza launched her debut self-titled Mandarin album in 1997, her wide vocal range and velvet voice soon gained her a large fan base in China.

One of the songs, a love ballad titled Going Home, became her best-known hit and topped the charts.

She further displayed her talent by releasing other albums, such as her second Mandarin album I'm Not A Star and her English album, Open Up, in 1998 and 1999, respectively. The latter won her best female singer and best composer awards at Taiwan's prestigious Golden Melody Awards.
