Song Dongye

Über Song Dongye

Beijing folk singer-songwriter who came out of the city's livehouse circuit and broke through with the 2013 debut album 安和橋北. Songs like 董小姐 and 莉莉安 became the soundtrack of post-2010 Chinese millennial nostalgia, sung at university talent shows and covered endlessly on Bilibili. His career was interrupted by a 2018 drug arrest and four-year incarceration; he resumed touring in 2023.
