Vivian Hsu is a Taiwanese-born singer, actress, and model. She made her music debut in 1991 at the age of 16 as a member of a female trio named ShaoNuDui (Literally, Girl’s Group). This group, however, never achieved popularity and Vivian temporarily parted from singing to explore the opportunities available to her in modeling and acting. (Some of the modeling results can be seen at ScanLover.com and some other sites ;-))After going to Japan and achieving some popularity, she once again entered the music industry starting in 1996 by releasing a few singles and then her first solo album, all in Japanese.

Learning one foreign language must not have satisfied her enough, as she went through a speed course on “how to speak Korean in one week” and released a Korean music album in the latter part of 1996. Due to rising stardom in Japan as well as a multi-million dollar contract from her planning agency, Vivian left her activities in Korea relatively unpromoted and focused back to her activities in Japan.

Now, she has returned to the Chinese music scene once again, releasing her debut solo Chinese album in Taiwan recently.

Amerie Rogers

Amerie

I saw 25 year old singer Amerie (pronounced A-Marie) perform on an awards show once and thought she was not only an up and coming talent, but also very beautiful. Until Nik2 mentioned her in my Kimora Lee posting, I had no idea Amerie was 1/2 Korean. She has two hot CD’s releases titled “All I Have” and “Touch”.

Excerpt from her bio on AllMusic: “Singer Amerie is the daughter of a Korean mother and an African-American father who was a career military member. She grew up on bases from Alaska to Germany, meanwhile gaining an appreciation of the classical arts from her mother and of R&B music from her father. She studied dance from an early age and performed in talent contests throughout her youth. After her high school graduation, her family finally settled down in Virginia, while she began to attend Georgetown University, from which she later graduated with a degree in English and Fine Arts.” Full bio here.
