JJ Lin

JJ Lin built a career on precision vocal performance and prolific songwriting across the Chinese-speaking world. Born Wayne Lim Junjie on 27 March 1981 in Singapore, Lin signed to Ocean Butterflies International in 2002 and released his debut album Music Voyager in 2003, which sold over 1.2 million copies across Asia. His 2004 follow-up Haven spawned "River South", a single that achieved significant popularity in Greater China. The 2006 album Cao Cao moved over 2 million copies, with over 200,000 in Taiwan alone. By 2008, each of his studio albums had independently sold over 1 million copies across the region.

In March 2007, Lin established his own label and production company, JFJ Productions, cementing his role as both artist and executive. He continued commercial momentum through She Says (2010), Lost N Found (2011), Stories Untold (2013), and Genesis (2014), followed by From M.E. to Myself (2015)—which produced the hit single "Twilight"—and Message in a Bottle (2017), featuring "Little Big Us". Since 2018, four of his albums have earned platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association Singapore. His concert touring spans five major tours, including the JJ20 World Tour (2022–2025), which has drawn over 2.6 million attendees.

As a singer-songwriter and record producer, Lin has shaped the Mandarin pop landscape through both recorded work and live performance. His accolades include four Golden Melody Awards—one for Best New Artist and two for Best Mandarin Male Singer—and fourteen Singapore Hit Awards. Beyond music, Lin has diversified into business, launching the professional esports team SMG, the NFT app-based community ARC, and founding Miracle Coffee in 2017, which has expanded to eleven locations across Taiwan, Singapore, and China.
