Mixed with multiple influences from many genres of music, Voision Xi always digs deep into music on the spirituality of jazz, stacking up her musical experience, developing her unique voice and sound with clear articulation and the sincereness both on the stage or in the studio.

With her own jazz band - ‘Little Happiness Group’, consisted of several outstanding local jazz artists, their debut EP album ‘DEBUT’ combining newly arranged, traditional jazz standards released in 2018 has been a natural filter for human ears with the atmospheric sounds of flowing rivers, blowing winds, the pictures of stars in the cosmos and everything else in your stretched imagination.

After ‘DEBUT’, she has become one of the most popular featured artists due to her distinctive voice and her special improvisation skills. More collab singles such as ‘Delay, She-fly’, ‘Sleepy Winter’, ’Sandclock’, ’Childhood’ and ‘Same Smile’ have reflected the potential of her melody and lyrics in between jazz and other genres. Also, during a many-years live performance journey with bands(on tour with Little Happiness Group in many cities over mainland China and Taiwan), for instance, Jazz and Poetry, Voision Xi & Spetsnaz and Little Happiness Group, she has presented her skills and multiple talents in different music scenes around China. In January 2022, Voision Xi's full-length album "Lost for Words", a multi-chapter music project, was officially released. From the Taipei corner story two years ago, to the starry sky dream woven in her mind, and the vacuum touch of returning to her own temperament, she and her fans have been excited to see the project come to fruition and witness her growth after “DEBUT". This album has received many positive comments. For example, it won the second place in the monthly album selection of Netease Cloud Music Yingdi Original List, was shortlisted for the Singapore Freshmusic Awards "Best New Artist Award", and received the invitation from famous Japanese company Disk Union to release the exclusive Japan edition CDs under their label Think!
