alan (阿蘭 or 阿兰) is a Tibetan/Chinese singer and Erhu player from Sichuan province. Alan was scouted when Avex China held auditions in Beijing, where she sung covers of Amuro Namie's NEVER END and Natsukawa Rimi's Nada Sousou. She caught the judges attention by performing these songs in a military uniform (which happened to be her school uniform). She debuted with a Japanese language single in November 2007, titled A$h!ta e no Sanka, which was characterised by her frequent use of the high notes found in Tibetan folk songs. This was followed by Hitotsu in March 2008.

 

In response to the magnitude 8 earthquake that hit her province Sichuan on May 12, alan released a charity digital single across Asia called Shiawase no Kane (also released in Chinese as Ai Jiu Shi Shou). alan was chosen to sing the theme song for the NHK TV special SAVE THE FUTURE, entitled Natsukashii Mirai ~longing future~ and produced by Sakamoto Ryuichi.

 

She plans, in the next five months, to release a single every month based on the elements earth, sky, water, wind and fire, which will be followed the month after by her debut album.

Okay seriously she has one of the most beautiful and powerful voices you'll ever hear. Her music is rooted very much in classic Chinese/Tibetan sounds, but she's wow <3
