i believe jay chou kicks a** as an talented musician and i loved him in the role he played in one of my fave movies 'Initial D'
"Jay Chou (traditional Chinese: 周杰倫; simplified Chinese: 周杰伦; pinyin: Zhōu Jiélún; Wade-Giles: Chou Chieh-lun; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chiu Kia̍t-lûn) was born January 18, 1979. He is a Taiwanese musician, singer, producer, actor and director who has won the World Music Award four times.
His mother noticed his sensitivity to music and took him to piano lessons at the age of three. During his childhood, he was fascinated with capturing sounds and songs with his tape recorder, something he carried everywhere with him. In the third grade, he became interested in music theory and also started cello lessons.
As an only child, he enjoyed being the family's center of attention; he loved to play piano, imitate TV actors, and perform magic tricks. His parents divorced when he was 14; as a result, he became reclusive and introverted. Although he had friends, he often preferred to be alone listening to music, contemplating and daydreaming
He is well-known for composing all his own songs and songs for other singers. Although he was trained in classical music, Chou combines Chinese and Western music styles to produce songs that fuse R&B, rock and pop genres, covering issues such as domestic violence, war, and urbanization.
Chou's compositions are loosely categorized as pop music. While many of his works fall into contemporary R&B, rap, and rock genres, the term 'Chou Style' (traditional Chinese: 周氏風格; pinyin: zhōu shì fēnggé)has been popularized to describe his trademark cross-cultural music and his insistence on singing with relaxed enunciation. Taipei Times once described the meaning of 'Chou Style': 'In what has become the archetypal Chou style, Taiwan's favorite song blends pop, rap, blues and a smorgasbord of esthetic elements of world music to create his dream-like never-never land ...' He regularly fuses traditional Chinese instruments and styles with R&B or rock to form a new genre called 'Zhongguo feng' (traditional Chinese: 中國風; pinyin: Zhōngguó fēng). He has sold over 25 million albums worldwide.
He debuted his acting career in Initial D (2005), for which he won Best Newcomer Actor in Golden Horse Awards, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor by Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in Curse of the Golden Flower (2006).
His career now extends into directing and running his own record company JVR Music. He has also endorsed various models of Media Players released by Onda in which he appears on the box, and his signature and likeness is printed on the back of certain models of these players"
