Joanna Wang

Joanna Wang ( 王若琳) is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, daughter of famous music producer Wang Chi-ping (王治平). Born in Taipei but raised in Los Angeles suburb of San Gabriel, California, Wang dropped out from Gabrielino High School when she was 16.

As she was partially raised in the United States, Wang was exposed to many classic pop music acts, including but not limited to: The Beatles, Queen, and Oingo Boingo. Among her major influences are Danny Elfman, Yoeko Kurahashi (倉橋ヨエコ), Paul McCartney, and video game soundtracks, most notably those from the Castlevania, Zelda, and Mario series. She has stated in her Youtube videos and in interviews that she dislikes the debut and rejects it as her own work.
