Singer-songwriter Shunza, known for her velvet voice, has locked down a smoky style perfect for a low-lit cocktail bar. Unlike most other idols of modern Mandopop, she prefers smaller crowds and intimate settings to huge stadium gigs. Born in Beijing, she moved with her family to San Francisco before studying jazz and contemporary music in Switzerland. It's arguably this worldliness that's earned her a spot next to stars like Elva Hsiao and Faye Wong—and she's released albums in Mandarin, Japanese, English and French. Our hand-picked collection explores her varied career.
