Taiwanese pop diva Jolin Tsai will join hands with young mainland singers, including He Jie, Jike Junyi and Zhao Lei, for a night of pop July 22.
Known for reinventing both her music and image, Tsai is cited for her huge role in popularizing dance music as mainstream music in Asia. Often referred to as “Asia’s Dancing Queen,” she has achieved popularity in the Chinese-speaking world by releasing a series of commercially and critically successful albums and has a dedicated fanbase worldwide.
Born and raised in Taiwan, Tsai began her singing career by winning an MTV singing competition at the age of 18. Her debut album, released in 1999 and titled “1019,” was a huge success, and she quickly became a teen idol with a large teenage fanbase. Her fifth album, “Magic” (2003), is regarded as one of her biggest successes so far, right after her album “Dancing Diva” (2006), which reflected her artistic maturity. After several successful albums and dozens of hits, she released her latest album, “Play,” in 2014.
Having sold more than 25 million records in Asia, Tsai is recognized as one of the best-selling artists in Asia. Her work has earned her numerous awards and accolades, including six Golden Melody Awards, an MTV Asia Award and an MTV Video Music Award. She has been acclaimed as a businesswoman, particularly after she founded her own music production and management company Eternal in 2009. Forbes reported that she was one of the highest-paid Chinese celebrities in 2014.
