Beijing Shi Ji Xing Die Cultural Communication Limited Company is the broker for 12 Girls Band. Mr. Wang Xiaojing, the general manager of the company, is the founder of the band.Since early in 1997, Mr. Wang Xiaojing has begun to think about such a question as how to package up Chinese folk music so that it could win a larger audience and enter the international market of the mainstream music. After many years of serious thinking and discussing with his good friends in the artistic community, he came up with an entirely new performing modality for folk music. That is 12 Girls Band, which is now extraordinarily popular both home and abroad.

On June the 10th, 2001, a great many graduates and current students from various artistic colleges and universities in China thronged into the spot where 12 Girls Band was inviting applications for this job. After much picking and filtering, 12 beautiful girls got enrolled. On June 18th, the founding of 12 Girls Band was declared. On October 5th, the first special concert by 12 Girls Band---Charm---was held in the 21st Century Theater in Beijing. From then on, those newly created performing modalities of folk music by 12 Girls Band have begun to undertake all kinds of tests from the market. About this concert people held different opinions. Some thought highly of it while others preached it down. Some were optimistic about 12 Girls Band and its new performing modalities for folk music while others were not sure that whether Chinese folk music would become popular. But just at that time 12 Girls Band showed itself on various stages of China, diligently presenting people with its music and performances. Meanwhile, Mr. Wang Xiaojing, in accord with his goal formed in the beginning, also actively got in contact with craft brothers abroad and did his best to introduce 12 Girls Band to the international market. As her musical contents and performing modalities became more and more mature, 12 Girls Band successfully held the second special concert---Miracle--in Beijing Exhibition Hall Theater on January 1st, 2003.The perfect combination of Chinese folk instrumental music with the performing modalities of modern pop music won the approval of both experts and amateurs at home and abroad.12 Girls Band, with her affecting music and inspiring performances, and her creative combinations of the folk musical instruments, has knocked at the gate to the international market.
