Su Yunying (; born 8 April 1991), also known as Sue Su, is a Chinese singer-songwriter of Hlai people.
Su was born and raised in Sanya, Hainan. Su rose to prominence in 2015 on Sing My Song, performing her own written debut song called "Yezi" (, which could be translated as "The Wild") and won second place.
Su also participated in the 2016 season of the Hunan Television show I Am a Singer Season 4.
Su Yunying graduated from Beijing Contemporary Music Academy in 2014. She was admitted to the Chinese Singing Department of the School, and began to learn folk songs. After her sophomore year, she transferred to the pop singing department. Yi Jiangfeng, the head of the department, became her teacher, which benefited her a lot in music.
During the winter vacation of her senior year, Su Yunying returned home in Sanya and wrote her first song "Heart" for the people she secretly missed. "I really like the heart that I like him, but we don't have to be together," Su said. "Just like I like the feeling of following him and stepping on his shadow after school. Just very coincidentally, that feeling is because of him."
Su Yunying did not know how to arrange music and was not good at Musical Instruments. She happened to meet two boys who knew music, so she formed the first band, renting a house together and playing with each other. Although the band broke up within a few months due to practical problems and the three also went apart, Su Yunying benefited very much from it and opened the door to the new century.
On 13 June 2015, Su signed with Sony Music Entertainment, and joined the "Made" music project jointly created by Sony Music, Dream Sound Music and Taihe Music. LeTV Music provides exclusive video push for "Made" project, covering the widest area, the largest scale, and the largest number of participants in the series of LIVE performances. "Made" project creates more opportunities and influence for the development of original forces in the Chinese music scene.
On 14 August 2015, Su released her original single "Firefly", which was included in the compilation album "Xin Yuzhou". On 21 August, she released her original single "Yezi", which was included in the compilation of "Top Ten Golden Songs of the 2nd Sing My Song". On 26 December, she released her original single "2-0+1". On 29 December, she released her first solo creative album "Ming Ming", which includes 10 songs including "Scent of the Fantasy" and "Imagery Inside Our Hearts".
In June 2016, Su released her original single "Xin Xin" as the theme song of the animated movie "Toys War". On 19 June, she held her first concert "Yezi - The power to grow wildly" at the Beizhan Theater. On 6 July, she released the promotional song "Then" for the movie "Never Gone".
On 11 January 2017, Su released her solo single "Dongfang Bubai". On 7 April, she sang the Chinese promotion song "Lan Haizi" for the animated movie "". On 15 May, she released her solo cover single "Lu Guo Wo Er Duo De You Shang", which was included in Qin Zhen's memorial album "Qing Zhen".
On 13 December 2018, Su released her second solo music album "Fairyland", featuring 12 songs including "IS" and "You Too?".
On 19 July 2020, Su released the promotional song "Tianya Weijia", which was performed with Chen Chusheng for the 6th Asian Beach Games.
On 20 January 2021, Su released her solo single "Nan Yan". On 12 July, she sang the ending song "Wo Men" for the web series "Bei Zhe Nan Yuan". In August, she released the album of the same name "Su Yunying".

"Start from the music and tell everyone what I'm doing."
Su Yunying writes songs in a very special way. The words and melody come out together, 100 percent concentrated, and she can not hear others talking. "I like to swim through these ideas, wow, I can still be so."
"Some words and fixed words don't nail my mind, so I put the pictures and words I want together."
"This is the kind of girl she is, crazy and weird. While speaking, her expression changes constantly, and her ideas jump, at one point offering her viewpoint on star signs, at other times earnestly pouring her heart out about a musician she loves."
"Because every type of music is just a way of expressing a lifestyle. The genres I like are varied, it’s not just about Rap, Jazz or Reggae, even musical theatre music I really like. At the moment I want to try everything."
Music critic Erdi once commented like this: "What a living life is hidden in this voice! Strange, tricky, as if a fleeing spirit, floating across the sea into Su Yunying's body, the elf, called the wild son."
People with insufficient imagination can not understand Su Yunying's song: melody ups and downs, gorgeous words, bright and beautiful voice. At the end of each time, the voice trembled, like a wild horse, and suddenly broke free from the rein."It may have something to do with emotions, and I tell you in my voice that my emotions are arrived."
