Jeff Chang Shin-che (Chinese: 張信哲; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Sìn-tiat; Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Chong Sìn-chet; born 26 March 1967) is a Taiwanese singer and actor, who is known for his numerous chart-topping sentimental Mandarin pop ballads.
Early life
Chang was born in Xiluo Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan. He started his philanthropic works as a voluntary teacher in impoverished areas of Taiwan since he was in high school.[1][2]
Career
Chang started off his showbiz career by winning a singing competition while in college, in which Hsiao-Wen Ting was a judge.[3] Since 1989 he has released a string of highly successful albums and is known as the "Prince of Love Ballads" in the Chinese pop world. His name is well known across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and mainland China.
After completing his military service in 1992, Jeff Chang returned to the music scene and his album Knowing is still a best-seller. However, at this time, Jeff Chang felt that his music career had reached a bottleneck period and began to seek transformation and breakthroughs. He refused various commercial performances and stayed silent for a year to create a new album Worrying. The song "Love Like Tide" in this album became the most classic love song that pushed Jeff Chang to the peak of his career, and the musical style of "Zhe-style love songs" began to take shape.
In 1994, Jeff Chang released the album Waiting, and the title song "Don't Be Afraid that I'll Be Sad" became another classic work of Jeff Chang; "A Little Touched" sung with Carina Lau is still one of the most popular duet songs in KTV.
Besides singing, Chang's interests include arts, antiques, traveling and water sports, and stage production. He became Taipei's leader in a stage theatre team in 2011.
In 2016, Chang participated in the fourth season of the Chinese reality show I Am a Singer and eventually achieved second place.[4]
