2015: The Voice of China In 2015, Huang Xiaoyun participated in the fourth season of
The Voice of China and sang
Jam Hsiao's song "You" (你) in the "blind audition" stage, during which both
Yu Chengqing and
Wang Feng turned around, and she finally decided to join the latter's team. Later on, she sang
Sun Nan's "I Believe" and
Yao Beina's "Fish" (鱼) in the "mentor assessment" stage, becoming one of the top 4 students of Wang Feng's team and also top 16 overall, but her performance caused some controversy. In the Cross Battle round, she sang
Eric Carmen's "All by Myself", but ended up losing the Cross Battle and was eliminated.
2017–2019: First singles released and Sound of My Dream On 14 December 2017, she released her first single, "Campaign" (征战), in which she tried adding the element of rapping for the first time. On 31 December, she released her second single, "Can We Still Love" (还可以爱吗). On 7 May 2018, she released her first self-composed single "Open" (打开). In December, she participated in Zhejiang TV's music show
Sound of My Dream (season 3), and her first performance of "Upwards to the Moon" 左手指月 went viral. Other songs she performed in the show include "The Light At That Time" (那时的光), "Unparalleled in the World" (天下无双), "The Story of Time" (光阴的故事) and "Same Moonlight" (一样的月光).
2020-present: Singer 2020, other variety shows and first solo album In January 2020, she represented the
Central Conservatory of Music in the Zhejiang TV music program
新声请指教. In February, she participated as a 'Surprise Challenger' in the Hunan TV music program
Singer 2020, entitled
Year of the Hits (歌手·当打之年). In the first round, she challenged
Mao Buyi and successfully proceeded to the next round. However, a number of Chinese netizens accused her of being discourteous and having low
EQ, as Mao had only started to sing the first few lyrics before she requested to challenge him. Since then, some netizens also discovered that the song she sang in the episode, "Life of Planet" by
Mayday, was not on any music platform because Mango TV did not buy the copyright. After the third round of the competition, she was at the bottom of the overall rankings and was eventually eliminated. She returned for the breakout round of the show and chose to challenge
Jike Junyi, but her challenge failed and she did not proceed to the finals. On 11 April, she also participated as a guest singer in Zhejiang TV's music program,
The Treasured Voice. In May, she and
Zheng Shuang,
Xiong Ziqi, and Liu Wei together formed the "President of the Star Trading Company" team in the
Youku e-commerce variety show "Arrival of the Best-seller! 2" (爆款来了2). She was also the contributing artist to the show's theme song. On 16 November, her first solo music album, "Huang Xiaoyun's Neverland", was released. == Artistry ==
