Vienna Teng celebrated her breakthrough with her album "Warm Strangers" in the early 2000s, which took her into three Billboard charts and reached number 2 on Amazon's bestseller list. She appears on the legendary David Letterman Show and is a support act for Joan Baez, Marc Cohen, Indigo Girls and Shawn Calwin. She not only tours the USA, but also delights European audiences at her numerous concerts. Sometimes she performs with strings, sometimes with the congenial multi-instrumentalist Alex Wong.

Her music is somewhere between folk and pop and a bit of jazz and a bit of classical music. Her wonderful soprano voice can range from very soft to mighty powerful, her lyrics are clever and introspective. Vienna Teng is a pragmatic philosopher in her songs, all of which she composes and writes herself; she reflects on fate, family, relationships, politics and religion. She raises her voice, takes a stand - far beyond all the everyday pop music. But she not only sings, she is also personally committed, for example, to "Habitat for Humanity", an organization that campaigns worldwide for decent housing, even for the poorest.
