Tien Fu-chen, more commonly known as Hebe, is a Taiwanese singer, actress and host, notable as a member of the Taiwanese pop girl group S.H.E.

Biography

The staff of the TV show 'Cruel Stage' encouraged Hebe Tien to participate in this televised competition. During the show's first round, her voice began to break while singing 'Return Home'. Hebe then decided to sing a song with a lower key in the show's final round. The song she chose was Singaporean singer Kit Chan's "Loving You" or "Xi Huan Ni" (喜歡你).

However, because she was unfamiliar with the song, she forgot about ten seconds of the final lyrics and this error hurt her performance. Nonetheless, the show's manager appreciated her straight personality and powerful vocals. As a result, Hebe was invited to become part of S.H.E, and along with Selina Ren and Ella Chen, she was signed under the Taiwanese record label HIM International Music.

Solos

• During her career with S.H.E, Hebe has sung two solo songs for her band's albums, "Too Much" and "Someone Loves You Instead of Me" (替我愛你 Ti wo ai ni); both songs are on S.H.E's first album, Girls Dormitory (女生宿舍 Nü sheng su she).

• For two Taiwanese drama soundtracks, Hebe recorded two solos, namely "Ferris Wheel" (摩天輪 Mo Tian Lun), for the Reaching for the Stars soundtrack (真命天女 Zhen ming tian nü), and Too Late (來不及 Lai Bu Ji), for the Bull Fighting (鬥牛 , 要不要 Dou Niu Yao Bu Yao) Soundtrack.
