Yida Huang (simplified Chinese: 黄义达; traditional Chinese: 黃義達; pinyin: Huáng Yìdá; born 11 August 1979) is a Singaporean singer and songwriter. The capitalization of his birth name is Yida Huang, as the previous form of "YiDA" was used as a logo by Sony Music Taiwan. He has since stopped using the "YiDA" name form upon the end of his contract with the company. He has released four major albums with Sony Taiwan. His song "Chou Nan Ren" (Jerk) was the opening theme for the Taiwanese drama Devil Beside You. Another song of his, "Set Me Free", was the theme song for the Chinese version of the movie Stealth. He graduated from the Lee Wei Song School of Music.[1]

His long-awaited fourth album Dedicated to Myself (寫给自己的歌) was officially released on November 28, 2008.

On April 21, 2011, seven years after his first album, Huang released the EP "微光" under the music company 北京橙天华音音乐制作有限公司 which he signed to after his contract ended with Sony Taiwan.The album consisted of 5 tracks including one instrumental track "track 11" which was also featured in a fashion show by fashion designer Marie showcasing her You.kai collection.

Along with his new EP "微光", a music film was also produced by the same music company featuring his EP tracks in the film. Starring Yida Huang and Tang Yan, the film centers around Yida Huang's various mystery encounters with Tang Yan although he has no recollections of her.

After a hiatus, Huang returned to the music scene, appearing as a participant in the second season of the popular Chinese reality TV singing competition show Call Me by Fire in 2022.[2]
