Su Yunying (simplified Chinese: 苏运莹; traditional Chinese: 蘇運瑩; born 8 April 1991), also known as Sue Su, is a Chinese singer-songwriter of Li ethnicity.[1]

Early life and education

Su Yunying is a native of the Li nationality in Hainan province. She grew up at the seaside and yearned for freedom. As she was a child with Li folk songs, she gradually fell in love with singing. Su Yunying's mother also likes singing, which has a great influence on her. After finding that her daughter was interested in singing, she often taught her to sing.

Su Yunying graduated from Beijing Contemporary Music Academy in 2014. She was admitted to the Chinese Singing Department of the School, and began to learn folk songs. After her sophomore year, she transferred to the pop singing department . Yi Jiangfeng, the head of the department, became her teacher, which benefited her a lot in music.[2]

During the winter vacation of her senior year, Su Yunying returned home in Sanya and wrote her first song "Heart" for the people she secretly missed."I really like the heart that I like him, but we don't have to be together," Su said.Just like I like the feeling of following him and stepping on his shadow after school. Just very coincidentally, that feeling is because of him."[3]

Su Yunying did not know how to arrange music and was not good at Musical Instruments. She happened to meet two boys who knew music, so she formed the first band, renting a house together and playing with each other.Although the band broke up within a few months due to practical problems and the three also went apart, Su Yunying benefited very much from it and opened the door to the new century.[3]

Evaluation

Born in Sanya, Hainan, the singer who is affectionately called ‘pixie’ by fans has lived with nature at large since young, and refers to her hometown as very ‘passionate’. This point is reflected in her compositions, just like her hit song "Wild child" which she sang on the stage of a Chinese reality show; without the restrictions and trappings of society, one is instead able to sing even more freely.[21]

"Start from the music and tell everyone what I'm doing" [22]

Su Yunying writes songs in a very special way. The words and melody come out together, 100 percent concentrated, and she can not hear others talking. "I like to swim through these ideas, wow, I can still be so."[3]

"Some words and fixed words don't nail my mind, so I put the pictures and words I want together."

"This is the kind of girl she is, crazy and weird. While speaking, her expression changes constantly, and her ideas jump, at one point offering her viewpoint on star signs, at other times earnestly pouring her heart out about a musician she loves."[21]

"Because every type of music is just a way of expressing a lifestyle. The genres I like are varied, it’s not just about Rap, Jazz or Reggae, even musical theatre music I really like. At the moment I want to try everything."[21]

Music critic Erdi once commented like this: " What a living life is hidden in this voice! Strange, tricky, as if a fleeing spirit, floating across the sea into Su Yunying's body, the elf, called the wild son."[23]

People with insufficient imagination can not understand Su Yunying's song: melody ups and downs, gorgeous words, bright and beautiful voice. At the end of each time, the voice trembled, like a wild horse, and suddenly broke free from the rein."It may have something to do with emotions, and I tell you in my voice that my emotions are arrived."[3]
