Wu Tsing-fong[1] (traditional Chinese: 吳青峰; simplified Chinese: 吴青峰; pinyin: Wú Qīngfēng; born 30 August 1982) is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, and the main vocalist and songwriter of the indie band Sodagreen, of which he was one of the founding members.

Wu has collaborated with other artistes such as Angela Chang, Eason Chan and Rainie Yang. In 2007, he won the Best Composer award at the 18th Golden Melody Awards for Little Love Song, 小情歌(in Chinese) a track on Sodagreen's 2006 album Little Universe.

Wu's voice has been described as androgynous, unusually high pitched and boyish, with his falsetto prominent in many of Sodagreen's songs. He also yodeled "The Lonely Goatherd" and its Taiwanese remake by Harlem Yu.[2]

Life

On August 30, 1982, Wu was born in Taipei, Taiwan. He is the alumni of Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University and National Chengchi University.[3]

Wu is known for not celebrating his birthday, arguing he does not know the purpose of celebrating one's birthday. The fact that all of us can be standing here today, we must be thankful towards our mother. But instead most of us send our wishes and purchase gifts for one another during birthdays.[citation needed] Wu says that it's more than what he can accept. To him, birthdays is not an opportunity for people to gain advantage from and to receive gifts from the others. Wu was recently linked to a Taiwan-based American man named Mark, who was said to have grown close to the singer over the months, and was called "Sister Fong" [clarification needed] by Taiwanese TV personality Dee Shu, alluding to his sexual preference.
