Hebe Tien Fu-chen (born March 30, 1983) is a famous Taiwanese singer and actress. She first became well-known in the early 2000s as a member of the popular girl group S.H.E.

In 2010, she started her solo career with her first album, To Hebe. One of her most famous songs is "A Little Happiness". It was the theme song for the 2015 movie Our Times and became a huge hit across Asia.

Early Life and First TV Appearances

Hebe Tien was born in Xinfeng, Taiwan. Her father worked for the government, and her mother was a housewife. She has an older brother. Tien has said that if she didn't become a singer, she might have followed her father's path and worked for the government too.

When she was 16, Tien appeared on a TV variety show called Guess. She played the flute on the show. She also appeared on another show called TV Citizen, where she sang and won a prize of 10,000 New Taiwan Dollars.

Music Career

2000: Joining the Group S.H.E

After her TV appearances, a music company called Grand Music International (now HIM International Music) noticed her talent. They invited her to join a contest called the "Universal 2000 Talent and Beauty Girl Contest." The company was looking for new artists to sign.

About 1,000 people entered the contest. During one round, Tien's voice cracked while singing. For the final round, she chose a song she didn't know very well and missed some of the lyrics. Even with these mistakes, the company liked her strong voice and honest personality. They asked her to join a new girl group with Selina and Ella. This group became the famous trio S.H.E.

2010–2012: Starting a Solo Career

After many successful years with S.H.E, Tien began her career as a solo artist in 2010. Her first solo album, To Hebe, was released in September and was very well-received. The album was nominated for four awards at the 22nd Golden Melody Awards and won two of them.

In 2011, she released her second album, My Love. A song from this album, "Still in Happiness," became the first music video by a Chinese-speaking female singer to get 10 million views on YouTube. My Love received seven nominations at the 23rd Golden Melody Awards, more than any other work that year.

2013–2017: More Albums and a World Tour
