WeiWei

WeiWei is an Asian American Pop Singer/Songwriter based in N.Y.C. Originally born in Changsha, China her family moved to the U.S. when she was 4 years old. WeiWei was a talented musical prodigy as a child, playing violin, piano and guitar; even then she thought she could make music her life’s ambition. Her mother, however, may have had other ideas! WeiWei says she was a stereotypical “tiger mom” and being a Pop star was not an option in her household. But although starting out with a conventional ‘mom approved’ career, WeiWei decided to follow her musical dreams.

We caught up with her to find out what songs make her...

Smile

Marina and the Diamonds - Primadonna girl

This song is cute and fun. It feels like being an adult kid. Its bratty in a humorous and sarcastic way.

Contemplate

Banks - Gemini Feed

This song just perfectly describes a situation that was all too familiar to me. The way she articulates the feelings of having to let someone go because they are taking too much from you is just SO poetic.

Cry

LP- Lost on You

So many feels in this song. Her voice is so unique and strong and she is an amazing writer. Everyone has felt this way when going through a breakup with someone you tried so hard for.

Laugh

Lizzo - Truth Hurts

Her lyrics are just so funny, sassy and catchy! I can see her personality shine through her lyrics and melody.


Want to work out

Sofi Tukker - Drinkee


Their beats are killer and they have really trademarked their sound! It has melodic and instrumental hooks that really get me motivated. This song gives me energy to get up and go for a run.



Reminisce

Jay-Z - Young Forever

This lyrics make me think about how time flies!! And how I really want to stay young forever. It feels very nostalgic of old

Relax

I don't like to relax! jk - Lana Del Rey - Doin time

I listen to a lot of beat driven music because I'm type A and hyper all the time so I think this may be one of the chillest tracks I have been listening to.

Feel Determined

Yaeji - Make it Rain

I love that phrase. "Make it rain". It resonates with me because I am always hustling!! She is also an Asian artist and listening to her makes me determined to be successful to have a career as successful as hers.

Dance

Kim Petras - Personal Hell

Her songs always make me want to bop around. She's the queen of bops.
