UTOPTA-A MEI Beijing Concert will be held at the Beijing Workers Stadium on October 11, 2015.
A-Mei, stylized as a MEI since 2014, is the stage name of the aboriginal Taiwanese pop singer and songwriter Chang Hui-mei. Born as Amit Kulilay in the rugged mountains of eastern Taiwan, A-mei is the seventh-oldest in a family of nine children. She made her debut in the world of music in 1996, achieving rapid commercial success. She has been called a diva of the Mandarin pop music scene and the "Pride of Taiwan". She has won numerous music awards and is popular within Mandarin-speaking world.
A-Mei first connected to the entertainment business by joining the televised "Five Lights Singing Contest" on TTV in 1992 after encouragement by her father, who was ill at that time, and her already relocated to Taiwan. A-Mei made it all the way through to the finals but eventually lost in the final round.
She was disappointed and was almost ready to give up interest in music competitions. A-Mei's father then told her, "You definitely can sing, and you perform songs beautifully. Why don't you enter the competition again to show that you have a talent for music?" So encouraged, A-mei then decided to make a second attempt late in 1993. Her performances were appreciated by the judges, and this time A-Mei was awarded the championship in 1994.
