Born in Texas to Taiwanese parents, Evonne Hsu made her fun-loving Mandopop debut with 2002's dance-floor-ready To Be Happy. With gentle, unguarded vocals that work in harmony with downtempo melodies and thumping kick drums alike, it's her knack for reinvention that's made Hsu such a powerful mainstay of Asia's music scene—as well as a star on Taipei's Broadway.
