Bursting onto the scene in 2009, Taiwanese star Yán Jué—a.k.a. Yen-j—has released a stream of buoyant Mandopop singles and albums. With soft vocals and twinkling pianos contributing to a unique pop soundscape, he has created a style all his own. An accomplished composer, this talented multi-instrumentalist can turn his hand to the guitar, piano or trombone with invariable proficiency. Equally well known for his lovelorn ballads and energetic Mandopop, Yen-j has produced a number of classic albums including Not Alone and Thanks Your Greatness.
