Jay Chou (traditional Chinese: 周杰伦, simplified Chinese: 周

杰伦, pinyin: Zhōu Jiélún, Born on January 18, 1979) is a

popular Taiwanese musician specializing in R&B and rap. He is

known for his innovative usage of combining both Western and

Chinese music styles to produce a fresh sound that is quite

unlike what is produced in mainstream Taiwanese pop, and also

unique lyrics which touch on various issues.

Jay Chou was born on the 18th of January, 1979 in Taiwan.He

was raised by his mother and was shy and quiet during his

childhood. Showing interest in music, he began learning to

play the piano at the age of 3. By age 16, he was writing

songs for popular artists of that time.

Jay first entered the music industry when he appeared in a

talent show with his friend, where he accompanied as the

pianist. They failed miserably in making a mark on

television, but the producer saw the line notes written by

Jay was good, so he decided to take a chance on him. Due to

Jay’s looks not being good enough for the instant stardom

that many of his colleagues could easily attain, he was

initially hired to compose songs and write lyrics for others,

including Vivian Hsu and Jolin Tsai. Many of his songs became

instant hits, though most people were not aware that they

were his creations.

In 2000, it was decided that Jay should be given his chance

to produce an album of his own. He released his first album

Jay, which much to everyone’s surprise became an instant

hit. It gained great attention among the international

Chinese-speaking community (including Mainland China, Taiwan,

Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, etc).

When his second album Fantasy was released he was already

among one of the top pop stars in the Chinese-speaking

community. His most critically and financially successful

album as of yet is his third, Eight Dimensions.

In 2005, Jay played the leading role in the movie Initial D

(Takumi Fujiwara), which was based on a popular Japanese

manga of the same name. It was the most popular and talked

about movie in Asia, premiering in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong,

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and Western Countries as

well. Other well known celebrities are playing too, such as

Anne Suzuki, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Chapman To and Anthony

Wong.
