周杰倫 (Simplified: 周杰伦; Pinyin: Zhōu Jiélún; English: Jay Chou) is a popular Taiwanese musician whose music focuses primarily on R&B, rap, and ballads. He was born January 18, 1979 in Taipei, Taiwan and raised in Linkou, Taiwan. He is known for his innovative combination of both Western and Chinese music styles in order to produce a fresh sound that is quite unlike what is produced in mainstream Chinese pop, and also unique lyrics which touch on various issues. His unique sound has gained enormous recognition throughout Asia, most notably Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan, as well as amongst the Chinese diaspora in the West.
Apparently showing sensitivity to music even as a baby, his mother took him to piano lessons at the age of 4. During his childhood, he became fascinated with capturing sounds and songs with his tape recorder which 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, impersonate 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. At Danjiang Senior High School, he majored in piano and minored in cello. He showed talent for improvisation, became fond of pop music and began to write songs.

I have some of the tags in simplified, and some in traditional XD That's what happens when he's got a non Chinese-speaking fan :-\ Anyway, I want a new album *______________*

I am guilty of tagging his music in simplified Chinese....but I think traditional would be the right way to go. Any music from Hong Kong or Taiwan should really be tagged in traditional Chinese :/ The reason why there are so many simplified tags is because he's so big in the mainland.

sorry if I'm new to this, but are we supposed to tag Jay's music in traditional or simplified Chinese? bc I've seen a lot of his works available online in simplified characters, but he's a Taiwanese so I don't know which is correct
