The daughter of pop star Faye Wong and rock veteran Dou Wei, she has been living under the limelight since childhood.

Her mother, a Beijing-born singer who rose to fame after moving to Hong Kong in the late 1980s, is one of the country's best-selling female artists.

Her father, a former lead vocalist of legendary Beijing rock band Black Panther, is a musical genius to China's rock lovers.

The couple's marriage ended in a divorce in 1999. Both have withdrawn from public life since.

But the paparazzi are now following Dou Jingtong.

"I don't want people to stereotype my music because of my family background in music," Dou Jingtong says.

Stone Cafe has songs, such as May Rain, My Days and Chimes, which she wrote while studying songwriting in the United States.

The album is named after a school canteen where she wrote them.
