Xiao initially debuted in 2008, mainly performing J-pop and R&B, and later diversified her repertoire to pursue pop music more broadly, including C-pop.
Her voice teacher saw tremendous potential in the then 15-year-old Xiao and trained her for about three months before sending a demo CD to a management/production company in Japan.
[3] Days after Tiana's debut, a controversial news article surfaced in several popular Japanese websites, including a widely used SNS (social networking service) website known as mixi, raising the question of whether or not Tiana Xiao has a shot at becoming the next Hikaru Utada, due to a similarity in upbringing, educational background, musical style, and specific vocal habits.
[6] The songs featured in the album will include all tracks from her two previous maxi singles, as well as the highly anticipated songs written and produced by other notable producers from both the United States and the United Kingdom, including Alexis Smith (UK) Tom Keane, Jeeve and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (Jam & Lewis) (U.S.).
Despite receiving a substantial amount of positive critical reviews, the single did not make the Oricon charts due to a lack of sufficient promotion from Tiana's label.
[3] On December 1, 2009, Tiana has announced an official return to school, stating that she will continue her career in music after graduation.
