Cheerful Music: A Sonic Bridge Between Continents

There’s something quietly revolutionary happening between Shenzhen and London. It’s called Cheerful Music, a label redefining what global pop sounds like in the 2020s. Founded in 2019, Cheerful has built a movement grounded in cross-cultural collaboration, where the bold textures of Chinese innovation meet the melodic pulse of UK and European pop.

The label’s sound is vivid — cinematic one moment, euphoric the next — carried by a roster of artists who see no borders in creativity. Tracks like “MO WEN GUI QI” and “TA SHAN HE” ripple with emotional depth, while “XIANG SI YAO” channels a distinctly global pop sensibility that feels fresh yet timeless.

But beyond the music, Cheerful represents a philosophy of connection. Its mission: to take Chinese music culture to the world and bring the world’s music into China. It’s a dialogue of sounds, languages, and perspectives — one that challenges assumptions about what pop can be.

The world is taking notice. In 2024, Harvard Business School profiled Cheerful as a case study in creative entrepreneurship, followed by Snow.J’s 2025 guest lecture to global leaders. For a label rooted in the underground, that’s a stunning testament to its reach.

Cheerful Music is more than a label — it’s a new global rhythm, pulsing with possibility.
