Chan Ya-wen (Chinese: 詹雅雯; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chiam Ngá-bûn; born 2 March 1967 in Changhua, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese Hokkien pop singer, lyricist, and composer.[1] She won the 2008 Golden Melody Award for Best Dialect Female Artist.[2] After winning a singing contest with her sister, a producer from Yalle Rocrods signed them on as the Sakura Sisters, catapulting them to fame for their covers of classic Taiwanese Hokkien pop songs. Chan then made her solo debut in 1991, writing all the songs herself; it was a success with over 300,000 copies officially sold and up to a million including pirated versions. Chan ahs been called "the night market's Jody Chiang" due to her popularity, particularly in Southern Taiwan and working class Hokkien speakers.[3] In 2021, she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, with her left hemisphere being atrophied.[4]
