A Golden Melody Award-winning Mandopop singer, JJ Lin was born as Wayne Lim Junjie in Singapore on March 27, 1981. His parents were Minnan, and he grew up speaking the native Hokkien dialect as well as Mandarin, English, and Cantonese. His debut album, Music Voyager, was released in 2003 and earned the 23 year-old JJ Lin a Golden Melody Award for "Best New Artist" one year later. He maintained a prolific release schedule throughout the remainder of the decade, releasing annual albums like 2004's Haven, 2005's No. 98757, 2006's Can Cao, 2007's Westside, and 2008's Sixology. Meanwhile, he made his acting debut in Legend of the Sea, a 2007 film whose theme song was both composed and performed by JJ Lin, and wrote songs for dozens of other artists. 2010's She Says initiated a new decade of activity, while 2013's Stories Untold helped JJ Lin earn the Golden Melody Award for "Best Mandarin Male Singer" in 2014. Two years later, he won the award once again, this time thanks to the hit Mandopop album From M.E. to Myself. While serving as a judge on the singing show Sound of My Dream during the final stretch of the 2010s, JJ Lin released albums like Message in a Bottle (2017), Drifter (2020), and Like You Do (2021).
