Deserts Chang (Traditional Chinese: 張懸; Simplified Chinese: 张悬; pinyin: Zhāng Xuán; born May 30, 1981), also known as Zhang Xuan or Chang Xuan, is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter. She is considered to be one of the leading alternative musicians in the Chinese music industry.

Deserts Chang was born as Chiao An-p'u (焦安溥) on May 30, 1981 to an upper class family. Her father, Chiao Jen-ho (焦仁和), is a former secretary-general of the Straits Exchange Foundation. However, Chang has been quoted by the media as saying that she does not want to ride on the success of her father. Her stage name Deserts represents something "mysterious and suggests something hanging in limbo," a representation of her personality.

Chang started composing when she was 13 and begun to perform on stage at 16. By the age of 19, Chang had written over 100 songs and got the first contract with Sony BMG., However, after recording, photo shooting and several campus performances, nothing happened. The young singer had waited for 5 years for the releasing of her debut album "My Life Will..."

Though she released her first album in 2006, Chang was well known among live houses, pubs and the Internet before that. Her light and clear voice is heart-touching and inspiring, which attracts many college students and independent music lovers. Chang is also a great guitar player, and writes most of her songs with acoustic guitar. Read more on Last.fm.
