Unlike most pop idols who perform in front of screaming fans, Shunza's concerts are more intimate and cocktail-style.

At the age of three, she, her mother, and her older sister moved from Beijing to the San Francisco Bay Area as a result of divorce.

It was there that she founded a band called Duty Free, releasing a few works in Europe.

Since her debut, Shunza has released numerous albums in Mandarin, Japanese, English, and French.

In October 2000, Shunza signed on with EMI, joining Cantopop sensation Faye Wong.
