Basic Information
Hua Chenyu, also known as Hua Hua, is a Chinese singer and songwriter. Hua Chenyu is widely known for his powerful vocal abilities, dramatic stage performances and talents in composing and arranging. He rose to fame after winning the 2013 Super Boy singing contest produced by Hunan TV, China. He is often recognized as one of the most influential singer-songwriters under 30 in China.
Biography
Hua Chenyu was born on February 7, 1990. His parents divorced when he was young and he lived with his father who owned a silver-mining company. But due to his father always being away to expand his business, Hua Chenyu spent most of his childhood growing up with nannies. It was during this time of loneliness that he found an interest in music. He learned to play the flute, piano, guitar, drums as well as the traditional Chinese instrument erhu. He wrote his first song at the age of twelve after mastering the piano.
In 2013, Hua Chenyu auditioned for the Superboy singing competition (after being lured with the promise of free food) and auditioned with his own self-written song called "A Song with No Words". Just as it's title suggests, “A Song with No Words” has no lyrics and composes of only varied forms of humming. His audition gained him the title of "Martian boy" by Chinese media and a genius by the judges on the show. He passed the audition and even won the entire competition. This earned him a record deal with EE-Media.

He sold over 10,000 tickets for the first day alone, making him the first mainland singer of this generation to hold concerts in a large arena.
