A-Lin (Chinese: 阿玲; pinyin: Ā Líng), also known by her birth name Huang Liling, and her Amis name Lisang Pacidal Koyouan, is an aboriginal Taiwanese pop singer, lyricist, and occasional composer of Amis descent.
In 1999, when A-Lin was 16 years old and taught children to sing the hymn “Amazing Grace” after the 921 earthquake in Nantou County, she was discovered by her former agency. However, he was not available when she wanted to give him contact information. Fortunately, four years later, A-Lin met him again in a bar where she sang regularly. She was officially offered a singing contract.
A-Lin made her debut in the world of music at the end of 2006, achieving rapid commercial success. She has been called the next A-Mei, who is an aboriginal singer of Puyuma descent. She also got the nickname 天生歌姬, meaning "A Born Diva". A-Lin was often quoted as saying that A-Mei is highly influential to her music, and often covers A-Mei's songs in music shows and concerts. A-Lin has won numerous music awards and is extremely popular within Mandarin-speaking world.
A-Lin has performed internationally, and performed at a sold-out concert with Xiaoyu and Shin in 2012 at the Sydney Town Hall.
In 2013, with Avex Taiwan exiting the market due to overall poor sales from the records, all singers under Avex like Huang Liling are allowed to terminate their contracts early.
