Huang Qishan was born on March 23, 1968, she is a Chinese recording artist and musician. She is also known as Susan Huang and Huang Ma. She is called by some to be the "no. 1 Female Voice in Asia." Huang Qishan, despite her rare vocal talent and twenty-seven year experiences in the music industry, did not achieve much success in her home country of China until appearing on the show I Am A Singer in early 2013. Huang Qishan's performance caused an Internet sensation that led to her almost-overnight popularity. Huang debuted in 1986. Throughout her career, she has released seven albums, despite not gaining a large fan base in China. In 1996, she divorced her husband, a Taiwanese singer and songwriter. Huang sang the 2004 Olympic theme "Pride". Despite being unknown to most of China's population, music insiders highly valued her due to her singing abilities. In 2013, because of her insider connections, the producer of China's version of the Korean reality singing competition I Am a Singer, asked her to join the show, leading to her long-awaited fame in China. During the show, Huang rose to fame and gained recognition throughout China due to her vocal ability and ability to reach extremely high notes. In the finals, she placed 3rd overall. Huang's astounding vocal abilities have earned her fame throughout China. She is a dramatic soprano, exhibiting a range of C3 to F#6, but claims to have sung up to G#6 in full and connected voice, a producer working with Huang noted his surprise at her ability to sustain the G#6 in a pharyngeal tone. Huang is noted for her powerful upper register and her ability to reach as high as a C#6 or D6 with mixed voices. Huang is noted by Chinese vocal experts to be a technically proficient singer, with some hailing her as "Asia's most perfect voice" and calling her technical proficiency "unparalleled." Many cite her song "Only You" to demonstrate her technical mastery and her ability to shift seamlessly through various vocal techniques. One of China's premier vocal coaches claimed to never have heard anyone in Asia sing in this way. In 2016, Huang participated on Jiangsu Television's long running music program Mask Singer. That same year, she was nominated for Best Mandarin Female Singer at the 27th Golden Melody Awards for her album "Xiao Xia". In June 2018, Huang released a new album titled "Time".
