Wanting

Wanting Qu is a singer, songwriter, and producer whose music has connected with millions worldwide. Born in China and based in Vancouver, she writes and sings in both Chinese and English, bridging cultures through emotional storytelling with a voice that feels intimate, honest, and unmistakably her own. Her path was never overnight. Before the world heard her, Wanting spent years writing alone at the piano and guitar, crafting songs in small rooms, sharing demos, and performing wherever she could. Her music drew attention not through hype, but through raw talent and emotional resonance, leading to her discovery and signing with Nettwerk Music Group and later Universal Music Group. Her debut album went multi-platinum, and her songs have earned hundreds of millions of streams, making her one of the first Chinese-born singer-songwriters to build a global audience when cross-cultural visibility was rare. Her success helped widen the pathway for Asian voices in international music, built not on trend, but on craft, heart, and authenticity. A multi-instrumentalist who plays piano and guitar, Wanting writes with emotional honesty, exploring love, longing, healing, and the courage of becoming oneself. Over the years, her listeners have grown with her, forming a community that values depth, truth, and shared evolution. After time spent grounding, reflecting, and creating, Wanting returns with new music, a new sound, a new era, and a deeper sense of self.
