Sodagreen (traditional Chinese: 蘇打綠; pinyin: Sūdá lǜ) is a Taiwanese independent folk-rock-pop band. It is difficult to define sodagreen's music in genres due to the band's diverse influences. Sodagreen emerged in the Taiwanese indie music scene after receiving the Grand Jury Award in the Hohaiyan Gongliau Rock Festival in 2004 . In 2006, the band received nominations for the Best Music Arrangement and Best Band awards in the prestigious 17th Golden Melody Awards. The band is especially prominent for its main vocalist-songwriter Qing-Feng, who stands out with his unique literary and performing style and wide vocal range.
