丁薇

丁薇 (Ding Wei) is a trailblazing Chinese singer-songwriter and composer who’s been shaping the country’s indie and alternative music scene since the 1990s. Known for her genre-blending style that mixes jazz, electronic, and avant-garde pop, she first gained attention with her debut album *斷翅的蝴蝶* (1995), which showcased her smoky vocals and poetic lyricism. A graduate of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Ding Wei has always balanced mainstream appeal with experimental flair, earning her a reputation as a fearless innovator.

In recent years, she’s become a sought-after composer for film and TV soundtracks, contributing to dramas like *碧海雄心* and *我是真的爱你* (as listed in your releases). Her 2020 live album *美梦如是* (recorded at Blue Note Beijing) proves she’s still pushing boundaries, blending lush orchestration with intimate performances. Whether crafting introspective solo tracks like *狗* or expansive instrumental scores, Ding Wei remains a dynamic force in Chinese music—equally at home in the studio, onstage, or behind the scenes.
