(1) Chen Jia's Background Profile (a) Good Piano Skills, and Good at Dancing and Singing Chen Jia (Weibo certification: singer & musician) was born and raised in Beijing. From the age of three, she studied piano with a professor in the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and received classical music education. At the age of 13, she obtained the highest level certificate of music piano examinations. She also won many awards in Beijing Elementary and Secondary School Art Festival. At the age of 18, she took the national high school gifted piano students exam of Tsinghua University and obtained the first level (highest level) certificate, and the second place in the national high school students piano exam of Beijing University. At the age of 11, she was admitted to the youth and women’s choir affiliated to the China Symphony Orchestra. During the ten years in the group, she visited the USA, Russia, Italy, Japan, HK, Macao, Taiwan many times, and participated in hundreds of performance, and won many awards. In 2019, she passed the eighth level of the Royal Academy of Dance (the highest level of amateur dance). In an interview with NetEase in October 2020, Chen Jia said that in order to maintain fitness on the stage, she will continue practising dancing. She also said that because she didn't learn vocal music systematically since she was a child, she now also needs to take vocal music lessons and learn the correct singing techniques to improve her singing skills. Now her voice is crisper and more charming, and her endings softer and more beautiful than ever before. (b) Highly Educated and Good Career Chen Jia graduated from the Department of Finance of the "University of International Business and Economics" in Beijing, and later went to Germany to study, she obtained with flying colors a master's degree in International Business Management from the University of Hamburg, Germany, and then returned to China to work in Bank of China Securities International Co., Ltd., specializing in A-share listing, a job with a high salary and job security. (2) Chen Jia is Regarded by Many as the Best Successor to Teresa Teng Chen Jia was obsessed with Teresa Teng when she was young. When she learned that Teresa Teng had passed away, she was so sad that she hid in her bedroom and wept grievously for a whole week. Whenever she went to Taiwan, she tried her best to make time to go to pay respects to Teresa Teng. Chen Jia held an one-and-a-half-hour online solo concert in a hotel room during a business trip in 2011 to commemorate the 16th anniversary of Teresa Teng's death. She sang a number of songs in different periods of Teresa Teng in multiple languages. Chen Jia didn’t know that the online concert could be recorded by others and put on the Internet. The video of the concert was accidentally discovered by Teresa Teng’s third brother. With great admiration, he invited her to sign a contract with the Teresa Teng Cultural and Educational Foundation (TTCEF). After considering for more than a year, she finally quitted her high-paying and secured job in finance, and signed a contract with the TTCEF to become a professional singer at the end of 2012. Chen Jia and Wang Jing were the only two contracted singers of the TTCEF. Being a contracted singer of the TTCEF was an affirmation of one's singing skills and an honor for singers. While Chen Jia and Wang Jing were both contracted singers of TTCEF, Teresa Teng's third brother chose Chen Jia to complete Teresa Teng's posthumous work "清平調". Chen Jia is still the only singer who can accurately recite the songs of Teresa Teng in various languages in various periods, and is regarded by many as the best successor to Teresa. (3) Does Chen Jia Deliberately Imitate Teresa Teng's Singing? When Chen Jia was a child, she tried her best to imitate Teresa Teng's singing and voice, but as she got older, she no longer deliberately sought to imitate Teng's voice. But instead she started from a deeper level, studying Teng’s singing skills and vocalization methods, which, after years of research, have been thoroughly drilled into her, and now can be freely applied by her as part of her own singing skills, and there is no need to deliberately imitate Teng. Teresa Teng’s third brother also said that Chen Jia’s own voice was close to that of Teresa Teng, and she did not deliberately imitate Teng’s voice. If she did, she could only sing a few songs similarly, and it was impossible to sing so many songs so close. In an interview in New York in May 2017, Chen Jia said that her singing is a synthesis of the singing skills and music knowledge she learned from Teresa Teng, her choir conductor and her piano teacher, not simply imitating Teng. In November of the same year, Chen Jia said on Changzhou Radio in China that she did not listen to Teresa Teng’s songs anymore. She explained that if she twisted herself to deliberately imitate others, she would not sing naturally and would not sing well. She now sings only on the basis of her own feelings of the song. In the evening of October 20, 2021 on Douyin Live, a fan asked Chen Jia to use Teresa Teng's voice to sing pop songs. Chen Jia replied that she could only use her own voice to sing Teresa Teng's songs and pop songs. Many of Teresa Teng's songs in Chen Jia's albums have been re-arranged, and Chen Jia has her own interpretation of certain songs.
