The Chinese pop singer Xu Song began his musical career whilst still a medical student in Anhui Province. Moonlighting as a singer and using the name Vae, he would upload cover versions of tracks by popular C-pop artists such as Jay Chou and slowly built up a considerable following for his work. Despite his growing success Xu Song continued his academic studies and turned down numerous offers to launch a career as a singer. Eventually, having graduated as one of the top students of his year, he turned professional and began to independently release albums starting off with his 2009 debut album 'Personalize'.
As his popularity and reputation began to grow Xu Song recognised that in order to realise his potential he would need to have a major record company behind him. In 2011 he signed a deal with Ocean Butterflies, a major player in the Chinese music business. The arrangement with the company allowed him to retain artistic control of his material but took advantage of being able to benefit from the label's considerable distribution network.
His most recent album is 'Treasure hunting' which was released in 2018.
