Biography

Hebe Tian was recommended to join by the workers of the television show 'Cruel Stage'. During the first round, her voice started breaking while singing 'Return Home'. Hebe decided to sing a song with a lower key in the final round. However, because she was unfamiliar with that song, which happens to be Singaporean singer Kit Chan's "Loving You" or "Xi Huan Ni" (喜欢你), she forgot about ten seconds worth of lyrics in the finals, messing up her performance. Nonetheless, the manager appreciated her straight personality and powerful vocals. Therefore, she became part of S.H.E and she, along with Selina Ren and Ella Chen, were signed under the Taiwanese record label HIM International Music.

Solos and performances with other artists

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). Along with bandmates Selina and Ella, Hebe recorded a solo, "Ferris Wheel" (摩天輪 ''Mo Tian Lun''), for the Reaching for the Stars soundtrack (真命天女 ''Zhen ming tian nü'').
Hebe was the featured artiste in Fahrenheit's song, "Only Have Feelings For You" (只對你有感覺 ''Zhi dui ni you gan jue''). The song was initially recorded for the Tokyo Juliet OST (東方茱麗葉 ''Dong Fang Zhu Li Ye''), but has found a place in Fahrenheit's first album, which is self-titled. At the 2007 Sprite Music Hong Kong Awards, "Only Have Feelings For You" earned Fahrenheit and Hebe the award for Taiwan's Best Duet Song.
