[edit] Biography

[edit] Earlier life

Show started playing drums at the tender age of 3 and performed onstage with his parents as a child. He won a silver award at a singing contest when he was only 7. Show joined the '4 Heavenly Kings imitation concert' in 1995 and managed to clinch 1st place. In 1996, 'Four Heavenly Kings' debuted and their 1st album was released. The group was active in the following years before breaking up in 1998. In the same year, Show joined another group named 'ROMEO' and was active in it until year 2000. In 2003, Show launched his solo debut and released his 1st album 'Show Time' and has since captivated his fans with hip hop, R&B, and ballads, as well as collaborations with stars like Jolin Tsai, Jay Chou,and Vivian Hsu.

[edit] 2005: Hypnosis SHOW & 1st concert

On October 14, 2005, Show released his 3rd album "Hypnosis SHOW". He collaborated with Jolin Tsai in the song 'zhen ming tian zi' and invited Barbie Hsu to star in his MV 'Self-Hypnotised' which is written by Jay Chou.

At a later part of the same year, Show held his 1st concert at Taipei Arena. He cried when he sang the song 'Strength' as it reminded him of his father who had passed away earlier that year. The concert was a success.

[edit] 2006: SPESHOW

After one full year and to everyone's anticipation, Show finally released the album 'SPESHOW' on November 17, 2006. The reason Show decided to titled this album 'SPESHOW" was because this was his fourth album with his name included. Show loves to put his celebrity name as part of the title of the album.The word SPE refers to four in Chinese followed by his name SHOW. This album was special in several ways, as Show worked with various artists from different place. However, this album was so popular that within three months, four different version of the original copy was created with few additional bonus songs.

In this album, and perhaps the most popular of all within the songs, Show created his own version on one of the song by Daniel Bedingfield's 'James Dean (I Wanna Know).' Show's version of this song's name is 'The Dance Gate,' translated from Chinese name. In this movie, he proved once again of his dancing ability along with different styles of Hip Hop and others in it. This song was so popular when it first came out that everyone can hear it everywhere in Taiwan.

In this album, Show has sang many affectionate and love songs, inviting his good friends Ariel Lin(MV Good Friend) and Koda Kumi(Feat Twinkle) to starred with him in few of his movie videos. Not only Show has showed off his skills in singing and dancing, he also proved his ability to sing English songs. This was his first attempt to sing an English song, something that was difficult for him. He admitted that he spend so many hours in trying to pronounce an English word. Show's success of completing an English song really strengthened his English confidence, and it also proved to the media that he strives to improve in many ways.

As special and popular this album brought to the music industry in Taiwan and the world, SPESHOW was sold over 400,000 copies within few weeks. Unbelievably, this album has created Show's new image and his popularity has grown so big. He is now known as the next Dancing King on Stage in Asia. After this album, Show has brought so much anticipating and eagerness to many people on his music and his talented skills.

[edit] 2007

In June 2007, Show moved from Avex Trax to EMI Capitol Records. On the day of the conference, Show was shocked but happy to receive a video from his idol Aaron Kwok, wishing him success under the new label. EMI Capitol Records plans to send Show abroad to countries such as New York,London,and Tokyo to learn more advanced dancing. On August 13, Show was selected to be the Mandarin spokesperson for High School Musical 2 by singing the Mandarin version of the themesong Bet On it called Bi Sha Ji and the song is included in the High School Musical 2 Soundtrack (Asia Edition).
