He's taiwan pop superstar, musician, songwriter and producer Jay Chou who specializes in R&B and pop music!
Jay Chou is known for combining both Chinese and Western musical styles along with his classical music background to produce a fresh sound that is quite unlike what is produced in mainstream Taiwanese pop.
His unique lyrics touch on various controversial issues; for instance, domestic violence in "Dad I am Back"; eco-awareness in "Rice Fields", the devastation of war in "Wounds that end the War" and reminds listeners to honor their mothers in "Listen to Your Mother".
His unique sound has gained enormous recognition throughout Asia, most notably Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan. He is also very popular in other Overseas Chinese communities.
He's continuing his love affair with the silver screen with plans to launch his directing debut.
Hong Kong veteran actor Anthony Wong let the news slip at the press conference for his new film "The Painted Veil." He said Jay Chou invited him to play his father in his new film, which will start shooting in January. He did not reveal the working title for the new film.
Jay Chou has already scored a number of hits in the cinema world. Director Zhang Yimou praised the singer for his performance in the blockbuster "Curse of the Golden Flower." Jay Chou also showcased his talent when he directed the music video for the movie's theme song.
He's doing movies and songs at the same time- where the song in his latest album- Ju Hua Tai- was the closing song of the movie he starred in- Curse of the Golden Flower.

collabrations
Jay Chou has been collaborating with Nan Quan Ma Ma, a group that is a hybrid of pop, R&B, and rap. As a result, Jay has helped to improve this group tremendously, making it very popular in Hong Kong. In the music video for Twilight's Chapter Seven in Still Fantasy, he worked with two members from Nan Quan Ma Ma, Devon and Yuri, to produce an English-style detective murder case, which he directed.
Jay has also collaborated with artists such as Chinese pop singers Landy Wen, Lara Veronin (from Nan Quan Ma Ma), Jolin Tsai, Vivian Hsu, DOMiNiQUE, and Patty Hou (for a charity show); he has tied international cultures together in his music by featuring producer Michael Lin rapping in Korean and using Thai in his album November's Chopin. In his latest album "Still Fantasy" he recorded a duet called "Faraway" with a famous Taiwanese ballad singer, Fei Yu Qing, the tenor with a golden voice.
Since entering the music industry, Chou has been romantically linked to an array of female celebrities, such as Jolin Tsai, Vivian Hsu, Ock Ju-Hyun, and Hebe Tian from S.H.E.. In February 2005, Chou was photographed with entertainment host, Patty Hou, shopping in Japan. After a splurge of media attacks, Chou allegedly admitted to being in a relationship with Hou. However, from May to July of 2006, both sides coldly stated, "I've never said we were together." This has caused both fans and the media to speculate about the present status of the couple's relationship. In September 2006, Chou revealed he was single in an interview, claiming he was "not in a relationship right now", as he wished to "only...spend more time with [his] mother and grandmother.” In the same month Patty Hou confirmed that their relationship had ended.
musical style
Jay Chou's musical style is similar to that of most singers in Asia, but it can be argued that he has created his own genre of music. His early work emphasizes R&B influences, but as his popularity skyrocketed and more albums came out, his style slowly changed into something that many people call "Jay style".
He started singing different genres of music and developed great interest in Chinese-style music. Songs like "Eastern Wind Breaks" and "Hair Like Snow" demonstrate that he is more than a standard pop singer. He also sang rock in "All the Way North" and bossanova in Rosemary. For his new movie Curse of the Golden Flower, Jay sang the end credits' song, known as "Chrysanthemum Flower Bed". The song was influenced by ancient Chinese styles, and he sang very clearly and slowly, in contrast to his usual style.
