Lin Cheng
A childhood superstar in China, Lin Cheng has sold over 25 million albums in Asia alone. Not only a singer, Cheng is a virtuoso of the erhu (a Chinese violin, pronounced air-hoo) as well. Taught by her father from the age of 6, Lin left China in an effort to fulfill her promises to him. He asked her to never stop playing the erhu, and to introduce the instrument to the world--especially the west. Her music combines the haunting and soulful sounds of the erhu with western world grooves, creating a unique and soul-stirring blend. Cheng is currently in the studio with KC Porter, preparing her forthcoming CD release.
