Hsiao Elva

«Born in 1980 in Taiwan, Elva Hsiao, is a pop singer. In 1998 while attending high school in Vancouver, Canada, the young Elva entered the New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition and became on of the twelve finalists, effectively launching her career in music. In 1999 Elva released her debut album with Virgin Records Taiwan. The self-titled album sold over one million copies. This original success pushed her to the top of the Chinese pop royalty list. After that initial release Elva had a string of records through the Virgin Records label, Red Rose, Tomorrow, 4 U, Fifth Avenue, I'm in Love With Love, and Love's Theme Song, Kiss. But in 2004 Elva decided to leave Virgin records and signed with Warner Music Taiwan a year later in 2005. A new album was promised within the year; however, due to staff turnover and problems in Warner Music, the album was repeatedly pushed back throughout 2005. In December of that year it was announced that the upcoming album would be postponed indefinitely. It's rumored that the fans were so upset about the delays that they took to the Internet to protest and the sheer number of angry responses shut down the Warn Music Taiwan website for an entire week. It wasn't until June of 2006 that Elva finally released a new single, "The World I Want", from the still-unreleased album. Four months later in October the album was still not available, but another single, "Elva is Back" hit the airwaves. To the delight of her fans, the album, 1087, was finally released in December of 2006. Elva has also appeared in several television ads for a variety of different companies like Avon, Motorola, Pantene, Sprite, and De Beers diamonds. She also had roles in 2002's Infernal Affairs and 2004's The Butterfly Lovers.»
