About the artist
Sodagreen is a Taiwan six-member band, members 史俊威, 何景揚, Wu Qing-feng, 劉家凱, 謝馨儀 and 龔鈺祺.
Vocalist Wu Qing-feng graduated from 師大附中 in 2000; the 天韻獎 Wu Qing-feng entered while at school was the first stage of Wu Qing-feng's life; a United Daily News report ran under the headline "Wu Qing-feng of Affiliated Senior High School Class 937 Returns to the Grand Stage Where It Began". "窺" was first performed at the 附中 天韻獎 in 2000.
Wu Qing-feng and another member met because both attended 師大附中, and by coincidence entered the same university, National Chengchi University, and thus formed Sodagreen in 2001. Except for keyboardist 龔鈺祺, a graduate music student at Taipei National University of the Arts, the other five attended National Chengchi University: Wu Qing-feng Chinese literature, 謝馨儀 business administration, 何景揚 public administration, 劉家凱 psychology, 史俊威 sociology. United Daily News wrote that in 2001 Sodagreen was formed as a band by six university students; a Hit Fm introduction wrote that the band went through many twists, changing guitarists and other members, and only in 2003 settled the lineup. A 2003 report by the same newspaper wrote that the six members were almost all National Chengchi University seniors, with only 龔鈺祺 a first-year graduate music student at Taipei National University of the Arts, and also the last to join.
At the 18th 金旋獎 at National Chengchi University Sodagreen took Best Popularity in the band composition category, and the following year again received Best Lyrics and Composition; the winning work "窺" was included on the 2001 compilation "少年ㄞ國" issued by 角頭音樂.
The band had planned to disband after playing the 2003 Gongliao Hohaiyan Rock Festival, but was discovered by 林暐哲 because of that last performance. At the tenth anniversary of debut the members revealed the Hohaiyan festival had been a farewell show, and the name card 林暐哲 handed over became a contract a year later; at that show, because drummer 史俊威 had gone missing, the on-site host kept broadcasting a search, which instead drew 林暐哲's notice. In a statement 林暐哲 said that in 2003 at the Hohaiyan festival he met six talented people and opened more than ten years of collaboration.
謝馨儀 said she did not think schoolwork and band practice had to involve choosing one over the other.
In September 2005 林暐哲音樂社 issued the self-titled album "蘇打綠", with tracks including "後悔莫及" and "飛魚", and with "窺" as a bonus track.
In October 2006 issued "小宇宙", with tracks including "小宇宙" and "小情歌". At the HITO Pop Music Awards on February 4, 2007, Wu Qing-feng received HITO Lyricist with "小情歌". Wu Qing-feng is the band's main lyricist-composer, and has received Golden Melody Awards Best Composer ("小情歌"), Best Lyricist ("他舉起右手點名"), and Best Arranger shared with another ("痛快的哀艷").
In May 2008 issued the 小巨蛋 concert Live CD "陪我歌唱"; the copy wrote this was thirteen selected tracks from Sodagreen's first 小巨蛋 concert. In August 2010 issued "十年一刻", and in November 2011 Universal issued "你在煩惱什麼", the theme being Wu Qing-feng pointing out your worries in a few simple words. On April 28, 2013 there was "小時候", on June 17 "我好想你", and in September issued "秋：故事".
On June 25, 2016, Best Mandarin Album at the 27th Golden Melody Awards went to "冬未了", and the band took five awards at that edition in all; Best Band at the same edition also went to Sodagreen, and Best Arranger went to Sodagreen and 林暐哲 for "痛快的哀艷".
From New Year's Day 2017 entered a hiatus; in 2019 Wu Qing-feng went solo and released the personal album "太空人". On February 24, 2020 issued the first new single in three years, "Tomorrow will be fine."; that song was issued by Universal in the same month.
In July 2020 the band name was split into 魚丁糸; Central News Agency called Sodagreen the first band with an alter-ego name as a result, and reported that 魚丁糸 would take the stage at Huashan Legacy on the 31st. This alter-ego band name had in fact already appeared on a sampler before the first album was issued in 2005. The group broke with former manager 林暐哲 in 2018, and Wu Qing-feng and 林暐哲 have sued each other since 2019. On May 30, 2022, 林暐哲 issued a statement saying 林暐哲 was giving up ownership of the Sodagreen trademark, saying "it's time to let go", and wishing that name a better future. After more than two years of band-name trademark litigation, 魚丁糸 in October 2022 won back the name Sodagreen.
On February 18, 2023 returned to Taipei Arena and held the season-limited "池堂影夜" concert. There was "夏／狂熱（蘇打綠版）" on August 1, 2024, and "冬 未了（蘇打綠版）" on February 18, 2025.
