Evelyn was the only Indonesian to join the reality show in that season and achieved her dream of singing with her childhood idol, Nicholas Teo.

“I didn't expect to be able to sing with the idol I've loved for 15 years whose songs I listened to when I was little,” she said, Friday (25/10/2024).

In this way, Evelyn is known by her Chinese name, Jiang Zheng Ling. To get on the show, Evelyn auditioned and managed to be one of the 3 chosen.

Evelyn Jiang's appearance on the reality show was not only entertaining but also inspiring on how an individual from a different background can get the chance to appear on such a prestigious TV show.

After her video went viral on social media, many Indonesian netizens, especially mandarin music lovers, gave their support to this girl. 

Surprisingly, Evelyn is not a music major at her university. When she joined this event, Evelyn was a final semester master student majoring in architecture. Initially, I only did music as a hobby, but after I started playing music, I fell in love with it more and wanted to be more serious about it, said Evelyn.

Although she was not born into a family of musicians, Evelyn's interest in music has emerged since junior high school.

Before pursuing the world of singing, Evelyn pursued the world of fingerstyle after seeing Sungha Jung videos on YouTube in high school, and then she learned by herself.  

Her love for music emerged after accidentally joining her friend's band as a guitarist the first year she came to China.

And after that he began to get many opportunities to perform at school events, outside of school, and even to reality shows in China.

Prior to Come Sing with Me season 4, Evelyn had also performed on Chang Xiang Zhong Hua in 2017, Meng Xiang Qi Sheng Chang in 2018, and received various awards in various music competitions in China. 

Evelyn Jiang inspires how courage and hard work can take someone from Surabaya, Indonesia to the international stage.

Evelyn not only promotes herself but also promotes Indonesian culture and talent on the global scene. In the near future, Evelyn will release her own  original mandarin songs and hopes to be liked by mandarin song lovers. (*)
