Career

1999–2005: Early career – bar singing and Rock Records

In 1999, Ding Dang decided pursue her childhood interest in music, and left for neighbouring cities despite concerns from her parents.^[6]^[7] She first adopted the stage name, Ding Dang (叮当) taking after her favourite cartoon character Doraemon,Шаблон:Efn the blue robot in the eponymous manga, however the first character of the stage name was changed to a similarly sounding Ding (丁) after taking advice from a fortune teller.^[8] She performed in various cabarets in Huzhou, Ningbo, and subsequent was employed in a bar in Hangzhou's World Trade Center as a singer.^[9] In March 2003, Della was signed to the Rock Records after executives from the record company heard her sing at the bar.^[7] However, due various reasons she did not debut under Rock Records. Initially, she was delayed by a SARS infection during 2002–2004 SARS outbreak in 2003.^[10] Then Rock Records had an exodus of employees who were responsible for producing albums, as well as some financial constraints that limited their abilities to take care of every singer under them.^[6]^[11] Additionally, the Chinese market was getting crowded with new singers minted from popular singing competitions, and thus new singers from record companies had little opportunities to gain a foothold in the market.^[12] Ding Dang was unable to participate in the singing competitions due to contractual obligations.^[4] With only 1,000 RMB monthly allowance,^[10] Ding Dang decided to return to singing at the bar after a discussion with Rock Records.^[6]

2006–2007: Debut

In 2006, some of the higher management personnel in Rock Records established B'in Music to manage the development of singers and produce music, while Rock Records would continue to distribute the produced music.^[11] This arrangement was made under the advent of online music streaming and the shrinking lucrative CD sales that affected markets globally.^[13]^[14] Many of the established singers signed by Rock Records such as Mayday (五月天), Fish Leong (梁静茹), Victor Wong (品冠) would also move to B'in Music as their contracts with Rock Records were due for renewal about the same time.^[11]

During this transition in the management of singers between Rock Records and B'in Music, Ding Dang had an hour long conversation with B'in Music's Xie Zhifen (谢芝芬) who was formerly a higher management at Rock Records.^[4] The conversation, along with an 8 seconds long audition lead B'in Music to sign Ding Dang on as a singer as well.^[9] As B'in Music is a Taiwanese company with its production crew primarily based in Taiwan, being the only Mainland Chinese under them at that time, Ding Dang left for Taiwan to continue her singing career.^[6]

However, before she could release her first album, she would be tasked be the opening act in various Mayday's local concerts in Taiwan. Facing the audience as an unrecognised singer with no songs to call her own, she was met with varying responses from the audience, from polite applause to outright booing.^[4]^[6]^[7] In July 2007, Ding Dang released her first two singles, Run Away from Home (離家出走) and Can or Not (可以不可以). Thereafter, she performed the songs in as part of an opening act for Mayday's concert on to which the originally unwelcoming audience responded enthusiastically.^[4] With Run Away from Home, she won Top New Artists award at 2007 KKBOX Music Awards.^[15]
