Yijia Tu

Yijia Tu (; born 8 November 1997) is a Chinese singer-songwriter and dancer.

She was celebrated in China after placing in the top three of singing competition ''Sing My Song'' (中国好歌曲 第一季), an open contest for songwriters to sing their own compositions. Her music drew praise from both judges and audience. After graduating from high school with a certificate in composition, Yijia released her debut album '17' via Sony Music in collaboration with Chinese and internationally acclaimed musicians including Grammy winner Luca Bignardi, Liu Huan, and the China Philharmonic Orchestra; the album won 'Media's Choice Award' at the 2015 Chinese Music Awards.

Yijia moved to the United Kingdom to pursue academic study of medieval English music, founding The Sages (竹林七贤, named after Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove) with Peadar Connolly-Davey, quickly finding an audience for Chinese traditional music via BBC Radio 3 and other national broadcast media.
