Biography
Jay Chou was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and raised by his mother, who was a high school teacher. He began playing the piano at the age of 3, showing enormous interest in music. When he was in third grade, he found an interest in cello and had daily cello lessons. His mother took him to concerts to help further develop his talents. His parents divorced when he was 14; as a result, he became very independent. Chou studied piano with a minor in cello at Dan Jiang Senior High School. This accounts for his solid background in classical music. In June 1996, Jay did not meet the requirements of his preferred university, so he found a job as a waiter.

Chou first encountered the music industry when he entered a talent show as a pianist with his high school friend. Although the performance wasn't exceptional, producer Jacky Wu saw talent in Chou's composition and decided to give him a chance. Chou was initially hired to write and produce music for others, including Vivian Hsu, Jolin Tsai, and Jody Hui Chiang; although Chou composed many popular songs, most people were unaware that it was he who wrote them.

In 2000, Chou released his first album, Jay, which, much to everyone's surprise, became an instant hit. It gained great attention in Taiwan as well as in other Chinese communities (including ones in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore). When his second album Fantasy was released, he was already one of the top Asian pop stars. His most critically acclaimed and financially successful album to date is Eight Dimensions, his third.

Jay's fourth CD was named after his mother, Ye Hui Mei. This revolutionary album revealed that Jay was not afraid to experiment with new styles and sounds. He showed a willingness to break his "love ballad" mould and displayed a more daring and edgy side of himself.

Common Jasmine Orange, Jay's fifth CD, was released on August 3, 2004 and has sold more than 3 million copies in Asia [1]. The following year, Jay played the leading role of Takumi Fujiwara in the movie Initial D, which was based on a popular Japanese anime and manga of the same name. Other well known celebrities also appeared in the film, such as Stephen Yung, Edison Chen, Jordan Chan Shawn Yue, Chapman To, and Anthony Wong. Chou won the award for Best Newcomer at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards and the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in this movie.

Initial J, his greatest hits compilation, was released in 2005 in Japan only. The name is a play on his movie role, Initial D.

Chou's November's Chopin was released in November 2005. It is based on Frederic Chopin, one of his favourite composers. Chopin's music had a great influence on "Nocturne" (夜曲), the first song in the album. In Chinese, both Chopin and Chou are nicknamed "piano poets" (鋼琴詩人). Because the album was criticized for being too similar to his last album and for not improving, sales of the album were not as great as past albums. Chou personally wasn't nominated for any Golden Melody Award but the album itself was.

In January 2006, Chou released an EP, Huo Yuan Jia (霍元甲), which included the theme song he composed for Jet Li's latest and, allegedly, last martial arts film, Fearless. In the MV for 'Huo Yuan Jia', Chou had a turn at swinging the Chinese weapon, the "Three Sectional Staff" (三節棍).
