Nobody, it is safe to say, expresses things quite like Sa Dingding, the 25-year-old star of Chinese electronica, who became one of the East’s most in-demand singers after the release of her debut album Alive at the start of 2008. With her second album Harmony, she delves deeper into the folk and traditional music of southwestern China in search of universal emotions and ways of expression.
Born in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia in 1983, Dingding grew up a nomad, travelling around eastern China with her family until they arrived in Beijing in 2000. Signed to Universal just as the world focused its attention on Beijing in 2008, she was seen as a voice from the heart of contemporary China, representative of both China’s 21st-century future and its rural past. Of mixed Han and Mongolian ancestry, she sings in languages including Mandarin, Sanskrit, as well an imaginary self-created language to evoke the emotions in her songs.
Her first European show was in front of a large, expectant crowd at the WOMAD festival; her second British date was at the Royal Albert Hall, where she celebrated winning a coveted BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music. It was while on tour in Europe that she met producer Marius De Vries (U2, Bjork, Rufus Wainwright) who produced her second album Harmony which has gone double platinum in China. The album includes a track - Ha Ha Lili, remixed by legendary British DJ Producer Paul Oakenfold and Lucky Day, a track with beats inspired by the late Michael Jackson.
Dingding has also been collaborating with Grammy award-winning world music group Deep Forest for a forthcoming project Deep China and performed her successful first solo concert on Mainland China in January this year.
