Duu Shuvuu

Tsetsegmaa Saran, better known by her stage names Duu Shuvuu (: ᠴᠤᠤ ᠰᠢᠪᠠᠭᠤ Duu shuvuu, lit. "songbird", : 鳴き鳥 Nakidori, or ドゥー・シャブー Do'ū shabū) is a Chiseian-Rhodantine rapper, singer and songwriter who has worked solo and as part of the collective Unmeiki.

Though living in Uraan and ethnically Uraani, she was born and grew up in first Rhodanthian and later Yamatai, before moving to Chisei as an adult. Her music incorporates elements of social commentary and occasionally political themes, as well as her varied cultural influences. She is, and sings in both her native Uraani as well as Yashiman, Rhoda and occasionally Zusian.

Career
Saran began her career in 2010 when she released a mixtape in Rhoda and titled Inkantini Wobusuku ("The Nightclub") under the nickname Kakkō (郭公 "Cuckoo"). A year later, she changed her stagename to Duu Shuvuu and released another EP in and her native language  titled Kokan naigai (こかん内外) about the Chiseian and Osovan diaspora experience.

In 2014 she released a second EP, titled Kazahara, her first written predominantly in Uraani. The titletrack of the EP became viral on the Yamataian videosharing platform KimiEga in 2016, and ths subsequent success of the EP led to Saran briefly signing with record label Kanayachi Music, under which she released a new version of Kazahara and a new EP, Khar Utas ("Black Thread").

Citing a lack of creative freedom, Saran quit Kanayachi in 2018 and, together with a group of other former Kanayachi artists and various figures in the Chiseian independent and alternative hip hop scene, founded the independent label Unmeiki (運命木 'Tree of Destiny'). Her first featured single with the group, Bakemono, released in November 2018, hit number one on most Chiseian radio stations and also did well internationally, setting records for independent Chiseian labels.

She has featured on every album released by Unmeiki, and in 2019 served as interim CEO of the group, before giving up the position to senior label mate Zhoji.
