[Taiwanese Singers] Recommended Artists in C-POP and Taiwanese Music
Asian music—particularly Mandopop—has been growing more and more popular every year.
A lot of great music is coming out of Taiwan, too.
You’ll find plenty of tracks with a city-pop vibe and songs featuring standout vocals.
In this article, I’ll be introducing Taiwanese artists like these!
From veteran singers to must-watch up-and-coming acts, we’ll cover a wide range.
Taiwan’s Golden Melody Awards—the country’s equivalent of the Grammys—are a lot of fun, and you might even discover artists who already feel familiar to Japanese listeners.
Let’s enjoy Taiwanese music together!
