Meet Timi Zhuo....


Taiwanese singer Timi Zhuo (卓依婷) is a prominent singer who has recorded more than 600 songs in Mandarin and Taiwanese dialects. she was born on october 2 1981 and started her singing career at the very tender age of five in Taipei, Taiwan.

Here is one of my favorite videos from her...



In 1998, at the age of 17, she contracted a stomach disease; as a result, she decided to take a rest and did not perform for a few years. Although rumors spread that she had died,she returned to public performances with a concert in Beijing in the spring of 2002. Her latest album was issued on January 24, 2007 in Malaysia and China title Gong Xi Fa Ca. which means "May You Prosper," a phrase commonly used by Chinese to greet each other during Chinese New Year.
