JJ Lin
Wayne Lim Junjie (Chinese: 林俊傑; pinyin: Lín Jùnjié; born 27 March 1981), professionally known as JJ Lin, is a Singaporean singer, songwriter, record producer, and businessman. Known for his vocal performances in the Chinese-speaking world, Lin achieved recognition with his pop ballads, songwriting, and emotional vocal delivery.
Lin signed to Ocean Butterflies International in 2002, and debuted with the album Music Voyager (2003). The record went on to sell over 1.2 million copies across Asia. His sophomore album, Haven (2004), was also a top-seller and produced the single "River South", which went on to receive significant popularity in Greater China. Cao Cao (2006) sold over 2 million copies across Asia, including over 200,000 copies in Taiwan. In March 2007, Lin established his own label and production company JFJ Productions.
By 2008, each of Lin's studio albums had sold over 1 million copies across Asia. He continued to experience commercial success with the release of She Says (2010), Lost N Found (2011), Stories Untold (2013), and Genesis (2014). His next album From M.E. to Myself (2015) produced the hit single "Twilight", while Message in a Bottle (2017) produced the single "Little Big Us". Four of Lin's albums have been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association Singapore (RIAS) since certifications began in 2018. He has embarked on five concert tours since his debut, including the JJ20 World Tour (2022–2025), which has attracted over 2.6 million people.
Lin's accolades include four Golden Melody Awards, including one for Best New Artist and two for Best Mandarin Male Singer, and fourteen Singapore Hit Awards. Aside from music, Lin has launched various business ventures including the professional esports Team SMG and the app-based NFT community ARC. In 2017, Lin founded the coffee franchise Miracle Coffee, which has expanded into eleven locations in Taiwan, Singapore, and China.
Lin was born in Singapore to a Hokkien family and studied at Jing Shan Primary School, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Saint Andrew's Junior College before completing his National Service (NS). Lin's grandfather used to run a maritime transport business when Lin was young. Lin's father has a telecommunications-related business while his mother owns a family karaoke chain and has a background in Chinese classical music, hence influencing Lin's music. His brother, a manager in a European bank, was a major influence in his career choice.
In addition to Mandarin, Lin also sings in English, Hokkien and Cantonese using a romanized pronunciation system, and has released his songs in Cantonese. In Taiwan, he was awarded the Best New Artist award at the Golden Melody Awards. After completing his NS, Lin signed with Ocean Butterflies International, which launched the then 22-year-old Lin's debut album in 2003. In 2011, Lin signed a new contract with the record label Warner Music Taiwan.
He is well known for his songwriting and singing skills. He wrote songs for various musical artists while he was still a trainee under Ocean Butterflies under his mentors, Billy Koh and Sunkist Ng. In total, he has written over a hundred songs for other artists. His notable compositions include "Remember" (记得) for Taiwanese singer A-Mei, A-Do's "Let Go" (放手), Harlem Yu's "What's Wrong With You?" (干嘛你看不爽我), Cyndi Wang's "When You" (当你), Vivian Hsu's "Smiling Eyes" (爱笑的眼睛), and Comic Boyz's "Heart of Superman" (超人心). In Singapore, he was selected to perform the remixed version of "Home", the theme song of the National Day Parade in 2004. Lin has sold 1 million copies in less than a week and is extremely successful throughout Asia.
In July 2007, he broke a Guinness record by signing 3,052 CDs in 2 hours and 30 minutes. During the signing, he was not allowed to drink or eat. The average time for him to sign a CD was 2.7 seconds. In May 2008, he performed at the CCTV charity event The Giving of Love, dedicated to helping victims of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. Lin also donated a large sum of money to the rescue efforts and composed a song "Love and Hope" (Chinese: 愛與希望; pinyin: Ài Yǚ Xī Wàng) commemorating the tragedy. In February 2008, Lin released a compilation album entitled Waiting for Love (Chinese: 期待爱; pinyin: Qīdài Ài). It has selected tracks from several of his albums spanning from his debut album to 2007's West Side. Later in October of that year, his sixth album, Sixology (Chinese: 陸; pinyin: Liù), was released, and it sold 280,000 copies in a week. His own fashion line, SMUDGE, was opened in Singapore during 2008 Christmas with an unofficial launch. The store's official launch was on 13 March 2009.
