Hsiao-Wen Ting

Ting is often invited as the host for events and broadcast programs. She has hosted concerts including Taipei Broadcasting Station's annual event "Heading to 2018 – Full of Happiness Concert", Taipei Symphony Orchestra's "You're all that my memory is – seamless concert", and Fujen University's "Those Happy Fujen Times – 520 Folk Concert". She has also held seminar workshop events like Da-Yu Lo's "The Story of Music and Movies", Judy Ong's Print and Engraving Paint Gallery Seminar, and other musical events such as the songwriting contest "Da Xue Cheng" (大學城). She is also the host for the radio program "Hsiao-Wen Doesn't Sing Today" (曉雯老師不唱歌).

Ting has performed in numerous concert venues in Taiwan, including Taipei Arena, Kaohsiung Arena, Legacy Taipei and Taichung, Taipei International Convention Centre, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Riverside Live House (Ximen and Gongguan), and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park. She has also performed in Chinese venues Oriental Wende Plaza in Guangzhou and Wuzhou Auditorium One in Beijing. Ting organized a solo concert There's a Song in Everyone's Heart (每個人心中都有一首歌) in 2014, 30 years after her debut. Till this day, the concert recordings are still being replayed by Taiwan Public Television Service.

In 1996 Ting entered Warner Chappell Music as creative director to sign exclusive writers and to establish IP and the royalties scheme. Two years later, she gathered hundreds of musicians to sign a petition to revise the Copyright Act from the Copyright Review and Mediation Committee of Ministry of the Interior. In 1999, Ting supported the founding of MÜST, an institution to protect the rights of musicians, and served as the chairman. She was also involved in the founding of Taipei Music Center, and has been supporting the establishment of the database for Taiwanese pop music and the preservation of its history.

Ting's production and songwriting career expanded to working with popular artists and collaborating with the music industry in Hong Kong and China. In the 1990s when the Taiwanese music industry was booming, Ting wrote the lyrics for "You Are the Eternal Pain in My Heart" (你是我胸口永遠的痛) by Dave Wong, the theme song for Wong Kar-wai’s movie As Tears Go By (旺角卡門). The song was a great success and brought Ting to fame. She later published numerous hit song lyrics such as "Green Apple Paradise" (青蘋果樂園) by Xiao Hu Dui (The Little Tigers), "Home Again Without You" (愛上一個不回家的人) by Sandy Lam, "Blessing" (祝福) by Jacky Cheung, "Love is Deeper" (愛得比較深) by Sarah Chen, "Years of Youth" (青春夢) by Alan Tam, and "My Love My Dream My Home" (我的愛我的夢我的家) by Fong Fei-fei.

As a producing assistant, Ting accumulated experience with big figures in music production, including "Kiss of Silk" (紗的吻) by Michelle Pan (co-produced by Guang Yuan Shen), A Woman's Heart (女人心) by Sarah Chen in 1988 (co-produced by Jonathan Lee), and "I Am Addicted to You" (上了你癮) by Hsiao Shih Tang. Her first time being the producer herself was in 1988 with Flaming Red Lips (烈焰紅唇) by Anita Mui.

In the 1980s, Ting enrolled in the Department of Mass Communication at Fu Jen Catholic University, studying advertisements, films, TV broadcast, and photography. She participated in various annual songwriting and performance contests, including "Cyan Rhyme" (輔大青韻獎) and "Da Xue Cheng" (大學城), achieving first and second places. She received a second place in songwriting with "If I Can" (如果能夠). These recognitions and performances all became the stepping stone of Ting's opportunity of participating in the joint record and led Ting to her debut as a singer.

Ting has also written two books: Our Music Class – Creative Music Influence after 1980 in Taiwan (我們的音樂課----影響台灣80’s後的音樂原創力), published in 2012, and her autobiography There's a Song in Everyone's Heart (每個人心中都有一首歌), which shares the name of her 2014 solo concert. For charity, a thousand copies of Our Music Class – Creative Music Influence after 1980 in Taiwan were distributed for free to schools after its publication.
