Vienna Teng (born on October 3, 1978) is an Taiwanese-American pianist and singer-songwriter based in San Francisco. Her musical style, a mixture of folk and pop, draws on the influences of performers such as Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. She has released three studio albums, Waking Hour (2002), Warm Strangers (2004), and Dreaming Through The Noise (2006).
Teng took her stage name "Vienna" from the Austrian city famous for its musical history. She began studying classical piano at the age of 5, and continued while she was working toward her degree in computer science at Stanford University, which she completed in 2000. She began recording the songs for Waking Hour at Stanford's CCRMA studios while a student to distribute on campus. After working as a software engineer for Cisco Systems for two years, continuing to write and perform in her free time, she signed with Virt Records and quit Cisco to focus on her musical career.
Her first major national exposure was a 2003 appearance on the David Letterman show; she has also made appearances on the CBS Saturday Early Show, National Public Radio's Weekend Edition, CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown, and The Wayne Brady Show, and opened in concert for Joan Baez, Shawn Colvin, Joan Osborne, Sarah Harmer, and Marc Cohn. Her debut album, Waking Hour, peaked at #5 on the Amazon.com bestseller list; her second album, Warm Strangers, reached as high as #2.[1][2] In 2006, Teng signed with Zoë/Rounder.[3]
As of December 2006, she is touring extensively across the U.S. to promote the release of her third album. Highlights of this tour include co-headlining with Duncan Sheik and opening for Madeleine Peyroux.
Her songs have been featured in various projects, namely the TV series Ed and on the Discovery Channel. In addition, Teng contributed her vocals to the song "One 2 One" by hip-hop duo Magnetic North.
Although the majority of her recordings are in English, the hidden track 12, "Green Island Serenade" on her Warm Strangers album is performed in Mandarin Chinese.

说猛贴, 猛贴就到.
也是一个月前听说, 她中文本名史逸欣, 有些网站误称为邓维也纳, 还是硅谷电脑出身. 自弹钢琴加仿古唱法, 说不定可以与眼下走俏的IL Divo, 一同借回古典的东风.
