Zhang Chu Biography

Zhang Chu is one of the most popular and richest Singer-Songwriter who was born on November 17, 1968 in Liuyang, Hunan, China.

Mainstream audiences got a first taste of Zhang Chu’s distinctive brand of folk rock in 1992 through the single “Sister”. The song recounts a dark story of familial abuse and repression through the eyes of a child. The repeated exclamations of “Sister! I wanna go home. Take a hold of my hand, I’m a bit sleepy. Sister! I wanna go home. Take a hold of my hand, you don’t need to be afraid” during the rousing chorus moved countless listeners to tears. The memorable melody and the emotional vocal delivery made the song an instant hit on China’s mainland, with its influence spreading to other Chinese speaking regions and countries. Zhang Chu himself confided years later that the song carried a political overtone which few seemed to detect. This is typical of his style, social satire which is subtle and easy to miss by the unsuspecting. Similarly, his rollicking punk cover of the Red Standard “Socialism is Good” also left some of us wondering if this was not a tongue-in-cheek dig at the “People’s Government”.

In 1993 Zhang Chu’s first album “A Heart cannot Fawn” was released. This is a collection of Zhang’s early compositions (all written before 1990), though more than half of the songs were performed by other singers. With a terribly confused producer and at least equally confused singers who clearly did not understand what rock music was let alone the meaning of the songs, the album sounds like a curiously schizophrenic patchwork that was put together half- heartedly in a hurry. Nevertheless, the raw originality of the songwriter shines through. In tracks like “BPMF” or “Westward out of Yang Guan”, Zhang Chu quickly establishes his unmistakable style: narrative story-line, keen observation, easy-flowing verse and expressive voice.
