One of the highlights of the 2024 Golden Melody Awards shortlist: JJ Lin Junjie will compete for the best Chinese male singer again! has won the Best Newcomer Award and a two-time singer, this time with the 15th album "Regain _ Happiness", once again proving the strength of the Chinese singer.
Speaking of the king of the Chinese music circle, in addition to Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Jay Chou and others, I believe there is also this name - JJ Lin Junjie. His dedication to music and sound has earned him the reputation of "walking CD"! No matter how big or small the occasion is sung live, it is as accurate and flawless as listening to a CD, and even Rozette, a Canadian vocal teacher who has recently become popular in the community, was shocked by Lin Junjie's singing voice and skills, and exclaimed: "I am in love with him!" "Now I will use 7 things to take you to reacquaint yourself with this Chinese singer!
Influenced by music since childhood, he has become a "walking CD"
Lin Junjie has been influenced by music since he was a child, his parents met in the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, his father played the erhu, and his mother played the pipa, which made him have a strong interest in music since he was a child, and he began to contact classical piano at the age of 4, and joined the orchestra formed by his brother to play music together in high school, and also thought about participating in the "Extraordinary Singer Training Class" program with his brother to make his debut. Although in the end, only Lin Junjie was favored, but then on the stage of the 2009 concert, his parents played his musical instrument, his brother played the piano, and Lin Junjie sang, and they worked together to complete the unforgettable memories of the family performing on the same stage.
Countless classic songs have been written by him
After signing and debuting, the first task assigned to Lin Junjie by the record company was to keep writing songs! Therefore, during his time in the army, he almost never stopped and painstakingly wrote his works every day, the most well-known is the song "Remember" that took Zhang Huimei on the stage of the Golden Melody Awards and won the first best Mandarin female singer in his life, Lin Junjie was only 19 years old at the time! At that time, the Chinese music circle was still prevalent in the era when singers were only responsible for "singing", Lin Junjie continued to try all aspects, composition, arrangement, production and other active participation, in order to let his ideas be truthfully presented in the songs, and the "Jiangnan" he wrote became the key to instant success, adding oriental classical dong flute and guzheng to the Western R&B genre, which not only broadened everyone's vision of Chinese-style songs, but also quickly opened up popularity.
The creation is taken from life, and songs are used to commemorate the love of life
Lin Junjie, who just debuted, because he is still young, does not know how to express his inner world, and writes all the things he loves around him into songs, such as: the comic "Fengyun" asked him to write "Jiangnan"; The movie "Enemy of the Machine" became the inspiration for "A Thousand Years Later", and it was all about turning interest into beautiful notes. Gradually, he realized that music was not just "playing", so he began to project his life experience into it, "Cultivating Love" wrote about his own regret that he could not go back beyond life and death; "It's a pity that there is no if" substitutes the regret and relief of choosing to let go of his ex in high school. But the most emotional work is the bond between him and his grandmother, "There Will Be a Day" records the love story of grandpa and grandma; "Narcissus" turns her grandmother's name into a song title to commemorate the time when her grandmother accompanied her during her lifetime.
After ten years of hard work, he finally won the king of golden songs
In order to develop the path of music, Lin Junjie gave up continuing his studies and chose to go to Taiwan to work alone, and his father could not understand and even let the relationship between the two drop to a freezing point. And his dedication and love for music are described by his work partners as "nitpicking"! After Lin Junjie released his debut album "Music Walker", he won the 15th Golden Melody "Best Singing Newcomer Award" in one fell swoop, and he should have ushered in a smooth music career, but later because of excessive use of his throat, he lost his voice completely for more than a year, which hit him hard. It wasn't until the 10th album "Because of You" won the Best Mandarin Male Singer Award at the 25th Golden Melody Awards, just the tenth year of his debut, that he felt recognized and his music finally understood. His father also decided to put aside his prejudices after his achievements in music, and the relationship between the two was restored.
He is also a race car driver and esports champion
In addition to the music field, Lin Junjie actively diversified development, and founded the trendy brand "SMUDG" in 2008, from proofing, design, to the music played in the physical store, and how many degrees of air conditioning is turned on. In 2016, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a racing driver and successfully obtained a professional license from the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Of course, the favorite video game is not let go, "the e-sports player delayed by the singer" Lin Junjie always calls himself so, before deciding to do pop music, what Lin Junjie wants to do most is to make a soundtrack for his favorite video game, in 2016, designing a music package for the video game "Dota 2" became his first step into the e-sports industry, and the next year directly established an e-sports professional team - SMG, defeated 12 teams, and won the world championship on behalf of Taiwan, China!
Hand in hand with international celebrity singers dream linkage
JJ's music has repeatedly achieved good results in the Chinese music scene, but he does not stop there, and actively connects with international standards! In 2018, he sang the world divine comedy "Despacito Chinese Version (Slowly)" with Luis Fonsi, which became a sensation all over the world! In addition, JJ Lin has collaborated with big artists such as Steve Aoki, with whom "Not Tonight" is JJ's first attempt at EDM work; In addition, "Am Alive", co-written with Jason Marz, is a positive song that brings everyone full of courage; "Checkmate" with Jung Yong-ho and R3HAB uses Chinese, Korean and English lyrics to add ingenuity to the song; In Lin Junjie's first all-English work "Like You Do", Anne-Marie was found to sing "Bedroom"; The new album is also included with Grammy hip-hop king Anderson. Paak's collaborative single "In The Joy" is the Chinese version of "You're There". Of course, I can't fail to mention "The Gift" with Japanese diva Ayumi Hamasaki, and even let Ayumi Hamasaki wear white yarn to shoot the MV together! As for the most memorable must be the red-haired Ed Sheeran's concert tour in Singapore, he found Lin Junjie as a guest and sang "Song Not for Anyone" in Chinese together, and the dream linkage surprised fans again and again!
Except for music and music
In the year when I lost my voice, I was tormented physically and mentally, and I was constantly asked, "What would I do if I didn't sing?" Lin Junjie was almost speechless and couldn't answer, because he knew that "I can only make music, I can only sing!" The experience of setbacks has made him cherish the moments he has with music even more. At the 2024 Golden Melody Awards, he will compete for the Best Composer Award with the song "Wish and Sorrow", and he will compete for the Best Chinese Male Singer Award for the third time in his career with "Regain _ Happiness". On the 20th anniversary of his debut, "Regain _ Happiness", which returns to his original intention, is a kind of fulfillment and a prospect for Lin Junjie!
