[citation needed] In 2011, Wu was admitted to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music, and started to sing at a local pub outside of the school.

But Wu, whose voice bears a resemblance to Kimbra, Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Gin Wigmore, was proud of her own style.

In the final rounds, Wu experimented an improvisation of "Itch"(癢) by Huang Ling, which she combined with "The Wandering Songstress"(天涯歌女) by Zhou Xuan, causing controversy.

Wu took second place in the competition; her sense of humor and positive attitude has since brought her a large group of fans.

From December 2012 to February 2013, Wu attended a CCTV's talent contest miniseries Dreams Chorus(the Chinese version of Clash of the Choirs),[4] leading Team Shanghai to sing for charity funds for Raleigh China: Expeditions.
