Many performers unwind with good food and drinks after completing a show, but not mainland singer Sa Dingding. She doesn't just deny herself, she also keeps her band from having fun after a gig.

'We don't have after-parties. Members of my band have to watch the playback right after each show. I admit I'm a demanding leader,' said Sa (below), who has just returned to the mainland after completing the first leg of her European tour.

'[My band] complained that it was too tiring, but I think we have to be professional about what we do.'

The Mongolian-Chinese singer performs in Shenzhen tonight and will return to Europe next month before going to North America.

'Music is something you enjoy doing, not something you use to make a fortune.

'If you want to make a fortune, join the financial industry.'
