Ponpon Chen is a 23-year-old rising jazz star from Taipei, Taiwan — a gifted vocalist and guitarist known for her signature blend of jazz guitar, scat singing, and storytelling.

Performing since the age of 12, Ponpon has graced stages across Asia and the U.S., with standout appearances on Hunan TV's Come Sing With Me 3 and Taiwan's Jungle Voice. In 2024, she launched her first jazz tour in the U.S. and went viral for her heartfelt rendition of But Not For Me.
