Wanting has achieved more than 10 million combined views on YouTube, 8 million combined views on Chinese YouTube (YouKu) and has more than 600,000 followers on Chinese Twitter (Weibo). She has also been featured in a slew of North American press, from CBC's The Q with Jian Ghomeshi, The Atlantic, Billboard.biz and CBC's The National, to major Chinese-language media like Sinovision, World Journal, Sing Tao and Epoch Times. Whether penned in her native tongue of Mandarin or English (which she only learned to speak at age 16), Wanting's piano-swept music wins over the masses because her compositions—pop musings that plumb emotion-resonate universally.
