【5.20 TUE 周二】SONGWRITER SERIES: ERIN WU | 唱作人夜系列: 吴晓天

ABOUT ERIN WU

Erin Wu (吴晓天Erin) is an independent singer-songwriter and a writer with Universal Music Publishing Group China. Her songs are honest and heartfelt, like pages from a diary — capturing life’s little regrets, growing pains, and those late-night thoughts you don’t usually say out loud.

She released her first album Reflections in 2022, mixing different styles with emotional storytelling, and quickly caught the attention of a growing fanbase. Her 2024 Mandarin album 自言自语 (Talking to Myself) takes a more stripped-down, vintage-inspired approach — slow, gentle, and nostalgic, like listening to an old cassette tape. The single Stranger brought her music to more listeners and resonated with people who’ve ever felt a little lost in the city.

Erin has performed over 30 shows at venues like Billboard Live Shanghai and JZ Club, and was invited by Gibson to perform at the Shanghai International Music Fair.

Besides her own music, Erin also writes songs for other artists. Some of her works include 只与我有关联 performed by Zhou Shen, Don’t Call Me by Wu Yuheng, and 出演 by Ren Kai. Her writing always carries a personal touch — warm melodies with a hint of sadness, like a letter you never sent or a dream you keep coming back to. Listening to her music feels like watching city lights from a car window late at night — quiet, familiar, and full of feeling.

吴晓天Erin是一位独立音乐人，同时也是环球音乐版权的词曲作者。她的创作细腻而真诚，像是一本打开的日记，记录着生活的遗憾、成长的痕迹，以及那些深夜里无人诉说的自言自语。

2022年，她推出首张专辑《Reflections 反思》，以跨流派的编曲和真实的情感表达，吸引了一批听众。2024年的中文专辑《自言自语》则回归了更纯粹的声音，复古而缓慢，像是旧时代的磁带在耳边缓缓播放。单曲《Stranger》的发行让她的音乐被更多人听见，也让那些在城市里迷失的人找到了一丝共鸣。她的舞台经历丰富，曾在Billboard Live Shanghai、JZ Club等地举办30+场专场演出，也受邀代表Gibson吉他参与上海乐器展的演出。

她的词曲作品被不同的声音演绎：周深的《只与我有关联》，吴宇恒《用户已关机（Don’t Call Me）》，Ren Kai的《出演》等，每一首歌都带着她独特的叙事方式。她的旋律常常温暖，却承载着些许遗憾，像一封未寄出的信，又像是一场永不落幕的梦。听她的歌，就像是在深夜的车窗外，看见一座熟悉又遥远的城市灯火通明。
