Su Yunying (; born 8 April 1991), also known as Sue Su, is a Chinese singer-songwriter of Li ethnicity.

Su was born and raised in Sanya, Hainan. Su rose to prominence in 2015 on Sing My Song, performing her own written debut song called "Yezi" (, which could be translated as "The Wild") and won second place.

Early life and education Su Yunying is a native of the Li nationality in Hainan province. She grew up at the seaside and yearned for freedom. As she was a child with Li folk songs, she gradually fell in love with singing. Su Yunying's mother also likes singing, which has a great influence on her. After finding that her daughter was interested in singing, she often taught her to sing.

Su Yunying graduated from Beijing Contemporary Music Academy in 2014. She was admitted to the Chinese Singing Department of the School, and began to learn folk songs. After her sophomore year, she transferred to the pop singing department. Yi Jiangfeng, the head of the department, became her teacher, which benefited her a lot in music.

During the winter vacation of her senior year, Su Yunying returned home in Sanya and wrote her first song "Heart" for the people she secretly missed. "I really like the heart that I like him, but we don't have to be together," Su said. "Just like I like the feeling of following him and stepping on his shadow after school. Just very coincidentally, that feeling is because of him."

Su Yunying did not know how to arrange music and was not good at Musical Instruments. She happened to meet two boys who knew music, so she formed the first band, renting a house together and playing with each other. Although the band broke up within a few months due to practical problems and the three also went apart, Su Yunying benefited very much from it and opened the door to the new century.

On 13 June 2015, Su signed with Sony Music Entertainment, and joined the "Made" music project jointly created by Sony Music, Dream Sound Music and Taihe Music. On 15 May, she released her solo cover single "Lu Guo Wo Er Duo De You Shang", which was included in Qin Zhen's memorial album "Qing Zhen".

On 13 December 2018, Su released her second solo music album "Fairyland", featuring 12 songs including "IS" and "You Too?".

On 19 July 2020, Su released the promotional song "Tianya Weijia", which was performed with Chen Chusheng for the 6th Asian Beach Games.

On 20 January 2021, Su released her solo single "Nan Yan". On 12 July, she sang the ending song "Wo Men" for the web series "Bei Zhe Nan Yuan". In August, she released the album of the same name "Su Yunying".

In 2022, Su sang the episode song "Darling Darling" of the TV series "The Oath of Love".

Philanthropy In 2016, Su Yunying was invited to participate in Chengdu IFS activity "Originality Never Changes, Let Love Shine" and sang "Yezi" and "Fireflies".

Evaluation Born in Sanya, Hainan, the singer, who is called ‘pixie’ by fans, has lived with nature at large since young and describes her hometown as very ‘passionate’. This point is reflected in her compositions, as in her song "Wild Child". The song became a hit, and portrays the message that without the restrictions and trappings of society, one can sing even more freely.

"Start from the music and tell everyone what I'm doing."

Su Yunying writes songs in a very special way. The words and melody come out together, 100 percent concentrated, and she can not hear others talking. "I like to swim through these ideas, wow, I can still be so."

People with insufficient imagination can not understand Su Yunying's song: melody ups and downs, gorgeous words, bright and beautiful voice. At the end of each time, the voice trembled, like a wild horse, and suddenly broke free from the rein."It may have something to do with emotions, and I tell you in my voice that my emotions are arrived."
