Jay Chou was born on January 18, 1979 in Taipei, Taiwan. He was raised by his mother who was a high school teacher. Showing interest in music, he began learning to play the piano at the age of 3. While he was a third-grade student in elementary school, he developed an interest in cello and had daily cello lessons. His mother took him to concerts to develop his taste for music. When he was 14, his parents divorced; as a result, he became very independent, quiet and anti-social. Jay majored in piano and minored in cello in Dan Jiang Senior High School. This provided him a great foundation of classical music. In June 1996, Jay, being unable to pass the entrance exam to his selected university and therefore losing hope of a well paying job, became a waiter.
Jay first entered the music industry when he appeared in a talent show as a pianist with his friend. Although their performance wasn't exceptional, the producer saw talent in the music composition written by Jay and decided to give him a chance. He was initially hired to write music for others, including Vivian Hsu and Jody Chiang. Although many of his songs became popular, most people were unaware that they were his creations.
In 2000, Jay was 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 in Taiwan as well as the international Han Chinese community (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore). When his second album Fantasy was released, he was already among one of the top pop stars in the Asian 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 anime and manga of the same name. Jay won the award for Best Newcomer at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards for his role in the movie. The movie was a huge success and premiered in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and western countries as well. Other well known celebrities also appeared in the film, such as Anne Suzuki, Stephen Yung, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Chapman To, and Anthony Wong. Recently, Jay was awarded the prize for Best New Performer in the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards for his excellence in the movie Initial D.
Initial J, his greatest hits compilation, was released in 2005 in Japan only. The name is a play on his movie role, Initial D.
Jay's critically acclaimed album November's Chopin was released in November 2005. It is based on Frederic Chopin, one of his favourite composers of all time. The first song in the album is "Nocturne" composed by Jay using Chopin's influence.
In January 2006, Jay released his latest EP "Huo Yuan Jia" which includes the theme song he composed for Jet Li's newest and last action film, Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia). In the MV for 'Huo Yuan Jia', Jay has a turn at swinging the Chinese Weapon, "Three Sectional Staff"
September 5, 2006 marked the release of his album Still Fantasy.
