Huang Fei has won the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Taiwanese Singer at both the 22nd and 27th ceremonies. In 2024, she was honored with the award for the third time for her album “Shi Ba Ban Wu Yi (十八般武藝),” meaning “jack-of-all-trades” in Mandarin, which highlights her role as a mother making sacrifices for her family.
Born in Kaohsiung City, Huang Fei (born Huang Li-hua (黃麗華), later changed to Huang Tzu-chien (黃子倩)) is a renowned Taiwanese singer. She debuted in 2000, and her first solo album earned her the title of Best Female Dialect Singer (now known as Best Female Taiwanese Singer). The title song “Chase Chase Chase (追追追)” became an instant hit in the Sinophone world.
Known for her exceptional vocal talent, Huang Fei’s voice is characterized by its charm, sweetness, and strength. By blending traditional Taiwanese singing techniques with delicate and restrained expressions, she has won the hearts of music listeners across generations and is celebrated for her ability to perform across different genres. Chen Ming-chang (陳明章), a famed music producer, praised Huang Fei’s vocal performances, describing her singing as both solid and skillful. He remarked that she is one of the few singers with a wide vocal range who can deliver high notes with clarity and brightness.
Huang Fei approaches singing as her full-time profession, constantly experimenting with different musical styles and exploring the possibilities within Taiwanese music. Notably, she collaborated with Henry Hsu (許富凱), the winner of the 32nd Golden Melody Awards for Best Male Taiwanese Singer, on the duet “Waiting For You (望你來).” Often listening to popular music with her children, Huang is eager to engage with new genres, such as Hip Hop, aiming to break away from the traditionally sentimental Taiwanese music and create a fresh style.
When she first received the Golden Melody Award, judges praised her as a “New Icon in Taiwanese Music.” To date, Huang Fei has been nominated twelve times for Best Female Taiwanese Singer at the Golden Melody Awards. As she has won the honor three times, her status as a “Taiwanese Diva” is undeniable.
