Introducing Timbaland’s New Artist Chinese ‘Jane Zhang’
Zhang Liangying (29), also known as Jane Zhang, is a Chinese Pop Singer who rose to prominence after her third-place performance in the 2005 season of the Super Girl contest, a national all-female singing competition in the People's Republic Of China. Growing up in Chengdu, China, Jane Zhang set her sights on becoming a singer. After her father passed away, the 15-year-old took a job singing at a local pub to help support her mother, and quickly developed her own local fan base.
In 2005, Jane was one of 120,000 hopefuls who auditioned for a new talent show, Mongolian Cow Sour Yogurt Super Girl. After singing Mariah Carey's "Hero," she was instantly chosen to compete for the title of the next Super Voice Girl. 400 million viewers tuned in to see who would take home the title, and although Jane didn't win the competition, she became the show's breakout star. With 15 Number One Hit Singles, Jane's been named China's Best Female Artist three years in a row.
Throughout the competition, she sang in English, Spanish and Cantonese in addition to Mandarin Chinese and is particularly known for her signature whistle register which earned her a nickname, "The Dolphin Princess". Zhang's debut album was titled The One and was produced by American Producer Craig Williams along with American Executive Producer Reid Hyams , she released Six Studio Albums to this date. “Ohhhh im about to fk the world up with this one! My New artist from China! Her name is Jane, and she is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Dont believe me just watch!”

I don't think the first 3 music videos on this article are representative of Jane's music. Those were really minor singles. Here are a few of her representative works.
