Unlimited explosive humor + Energy = Wonfu
Motown? The ’60s? Comedy rock? Indie pop? Our music doesn’t fit neatly into one box—and that’s exactly how we like it. We’re WONFU! And we blend musical technique, imagination, and a good dose of humor to turn everyday moments into something joyful. People often call us the pioneers of “Happy Rock”, and we’re proud to bring that energy wherever we go.
We started out in Taiwan back in 1998—four friends with a shared love for music: Yao Xiao-Min (vocals/guitar), Mami (vocals/guitar), Twiggy (vocals/bass), and Dopy (drums). Since then, we’ve been making music nonstop and sharing it with audiences around the world.
Over the past two decades, we’ve actively created new work—releasing ten Mandarin /Taiwanese albums and singles, plus four full albums entirely in Japanese. We love experimenting with genres and pushing creative boundaries, and we’ve also collaborated with TV productions like The Making of an Ordinary Woman (2019, 2022), contributing theme songs and original soundtrack pieces that let our music reach even wider audiences.
Along the way, we’ve been honored with five Golden Melody Award nominations for Best Band, and in 2022, we proudly took home Best Band at the Golden Indie Music Awards, as well as the Best Theme Song Award at the Golden Bell Awards for a drama series.
We’ve had the honor of performing at major music festivals—from Summer Sonic in Japan to SXSW in the U.S., where we were the only Asian band invited four years in a row. We’ve also gone on a number of international sold-out tours, connecting with fans face-to-face and sharing our music with energy and heart on every stage we step onto.
