Mavis Fan's bio

She used to be a successful idol, running around in videos, singing children's songs (Health Song). Then she rebelled against her past, making moody love songs haunting to many a heart (You Don't Trust Me Any More). Now she only sings for her own pleasure, and marketing is the least of her concerns.

Mavis was raised only by her mother, since her parents separated when she was just two years old. Her mom forged her unbreakable bond with music. She was sent to learn the flute and piano at the age of three, since her mom, an aspiring singer, had put all of her own musical dreams in Mavis. They led a tight life. Her mom had to sing at bars to afford Mavis' tuition for the best music school in Taiwan.

Mavis didn't let her mom down. She began to sing on stage at 14. Time has brought about many changes to both her life and her music, but her passion for expression has never changed. At 17 years old, she began to sing children's songs. In the late 1990s, she adopted a more mature image, singing in a variety of pop styles for a more general audience, which captured much popularity. close
