Joanna Wang

Joanna Wang (王若琳) is a singer/songwriter from Taiwan, daughter of famous Taiwanese music producer Ji-ping "Bing" Wang (王治平). Her debut album, Start from Here, was released in January 2008 as a double-disk set, one in English and the other in Chinese. The album reached #1 in Taiwan and has been popular throughout the Southeast Asian region. It was released in Japan in June 2008.

Joanna's views on her debut album tend to be rather negative, as she has stated often in public interviews that she greatly dislikes its corporate nature, its blatant commercialism, and its misclassification as jazz. Her second album, 2009's Joanna and 王若琳 contained more of her own writing, including an entire disk (titled The Adult Storybook and credited to New Tokyo Terror) of original material. The personnel of her new album includes Roger Joseph Manning Jr., Freddy Koella, Paul Bushnell, and Brian MaCleod.

As she was partially raised in the United States, she was exposed to many classic pop music acts, among them The Beatles, Queen, and Oingo Boingo. Among her major influences are Danny Elfman, Yoeko Kurahashi (倉橋ヨエコ), Paul McCartney, and video game soundtracks, most notably those from the Castlevania, Zelda, and Mario series.

She is also a left-handed guitarist.

She has also covered various popular songs in English and in Chinese on Taiwanese television programs, and has released an EP including songs by Paul Simon and The Carpenters, among others.

‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

By: Andrew Vaughan

It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
