FIDA (青原 FIDA) is a Mandarin-rock / pop-punk band from Macau, formed in 2019 by lead vocalist-guitarist Ferdie (stage name "Ching Yuen"/青原) and drummer Ivan, later based mainly in Taiwan and active in the Mandarin-language indie scene. The name "FIDA" comes from the initials of early members' English names, while the frontman's name "青原" became part of the band's name. In 2024 singer-songwriter Rachel (Lau Wan Ching), a former artist of Macau's Manner (微辣) agency, joined to form a male-female dual-vocalist line-up. In 2025 the band reached the social-group final of the Taoyuan Iron Rose (鐵玫瑰) Music Awards and won the "Rose Jury Award," and performed that year at festivals including Taiwan Festival and Wanderer Forest Music Festival.

Background
The "青原" in the band name comes from the frontman's own name, while "FIDA" derives from early members' English-name initials — per the band, F is Ferdie (Ching Yuen), I is Ivan, D is early bassist Dennis, and A is Aki, a Japanese guitarist who often helped out on guitar, whose name the band "quietly" added in hope he would join formally. Frontman Ching Yuen and drummer Ivan had known each other for years and played in different bands; an instinctive rapport at a shared gig sparked the idea of forming a band, and after meeting bassist Dennis — close in vision — the band was formally founded.
Career
I. Founding and debut album (2019–2020)
The band was formed in Macau in 2019.

In 2020 it released its debut album Light, Colours (《光》), whose title track was inspired by a double rainbow seen on a journey.
