Jody Chiang

Jody Chiang (江蕙), often called the "Queen of Taiwanese Pop," is a legendary figure in Mandopop and Taiwanese Hokkien music. Born in Chiayi, Taiwan, she rose to fame in the 1980s with her emotive vocals and heartfelt interpretations of traditional Taiwanese ballads and contemporary hits. Known for albums like *遠走高飛* and *當時欲嫁*, her music blends folk storytelling with modern arrangements, earning her a massive following across generations. Chiang’s live performances, including her iconic *2015祝福演唱會* (Farewell Blessing Concert), became cultural events, selling out stadiums and marking her retirement from touring in a blaze of glory.

With a career spanning over three decades, she’s celebrated for preserving Taiwanese musical heritage while evolving its sound. Her retirement in 2015 left fans heartbroken but cemented her status as a timeless icon. From early classics like *台灣名謠* to remastered gems like *再見江蕙*, her discography remains a treasure trove of Taiwan’s musical soul.
