Chyi Yu, also known as Qi Yu, is a Taiwanese singer who is renowned for her ethereal vocal quality and her ability to imbue her music with profound emotional depth. She was born on October 17, 1957, in Taichung, Taiwan, and rose to fame in the late 1970s with her hit song "Olive Tree," which quickly cemented her as a distinctive voice in the Mandarin pop scene. Her music typically features gentle, plaintive melodies and often draws on spiritual and philosophical themes, reflecting her own interests in various religious traditions.

Over the years, Chyi Yu has continued to evolve as an artist, moving from the pop music of her early career to recording songs with more spiritual and reflective content. Her recent releases like "你是我的天使" (You Are My Angel) and "奇異恩典" (Amazing Grace) showcase her devotion to creating music that touches the soul, often incorporating Buddhist chants and prayers, as evidenced in tracks such as "地藏讚" (Kṣitigarbha Praise), "八聖吉祥祈請文" (Auspicious Prayers of the Eight Sacred Ones), "佛子行三十七誦" (Recitation of the Thirty-Seven Practices of Bodhisattvas), and "準提神咒" (Cundi Dharani). Chyi Yu's enduring popularity is a testament to her unique ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal and spiritual level.
