Zeng Yike (Chinese: 曾轶可; pinyin: Zēng Yìkě, born on 3 January 1990[1] in Changde, Hunan), also known as Yico Zeng or Yico Tseng, is a Chinese singer. She was a finalist on the Hunan TV talent show Super Girl in 2009.[2] Later that year, on 18 December 2009, her first album Forever Road was released. It was suggested that a track "Leo" (Chinese: 狮子座) was similar to a song released in 2002 and she was accused of plagiarism. Zeng however denied the charge, saying all of her songs were original.[3] In 2010 she appeared in the film Love in Disguise (Chinese: 恋爱通告).

Early life

[edit]

Her father was a university teacher and her mother was a doctor. She especially liked music and writing when she was a kid. The high school teacher always used her essay as a model essay in her class. She started writing songs when she was in year 9. During her high school life, she started learning guitar by herself. Although she really likes music, she hasn't received any professional training. After high school, she was about to apply to music college, but her parents opposed. Therefore, due to her excellent results in English, she applied to Jilin International Studies University to study English.[4]
