VERSATILE VOICE

Yuan Yawei, also known as Tia, was in Beijing recently to introduce her second studio album, Tiara

For pop diva Yuan Yawei, performing at a live show means that "each cell is stimulated" by the sounds from the band around her.

She can hit very high notes - powerful or pillowy - and add a few twists while lowering her tone. "When I perform live with my band, there is no disguise. I am totally in the zone and I am true to myself. My voice is controlled by the chemistry produced between me and my band," says Yuan.
