Nicky Wu (Chinese: Wu Qi Long 吴奇隆, born on Oct 31st, 1970) is a Taiwanese singer and actor
Nicky Wu (Chinese: Wu Qi Long 吴奇隆, born on Oct 31st, 1970) is a Taiwanese singer and actor.
Wu found fame in 1988 by joining Taiwanese boyband Little Tigers Team, performing alongside Alec Su and Julian Chen. Since then, his career has also expanded into film and television in Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China. [edit] Childhood Nicky Wu is the second child of the Wu family, with one older and one younger brother. He has been described as being athletic in his childhood, having participated in Judo and Tae Kwon Do. His efforts in these two disciplines earned him three black belts in Judo and five in Tae Kwon Do. Moreover, Nicky was the provincial Taiwanese Tae Kwon Do champion for three consecutive years. [1]
Nicky also excelled academically during this time, consistently being placed amongst the top three in his class. Besides this, he earned awards in calligraphy, drawing and essay-writing.
[edit] Rise to stardom In 1988, at the age of 17, Wu was spotted by an entertainment agent while working part-time; the agent advised him to audition for Taiwanese boyband Little Tigers Team. Initially Nicky refused, wishing to focus more on developing his career as an athlete, but he was eventually persuaded to go through with it. The audition was successful and he was chosen to be a part of the band, along with two others -- Alec Su and Julian Chen. Nicky was given the name of "霹雳虎" for the band.
With the release of their albums Happy New Year and Leisurely Cruising in 1988 and 1989 respectively, the Little Tigers Team achieved success and recognition, becoming pop idols in the region. The band's success is said to have inspired the next generation of Taiwanese pop acts, [2]leading to the creation of other boybands such as F4.
[edit] Going solo After selling millions of copies,[3] the band was forcibly put on hiatus due to Julian Chen's compulsory military service. Nicky continued in the entertainment industry by himself, branching out into Mandarin and Cantonese albums with hit singles such as "Best Wishes to You" and "Waiting Day by Day". Going solo proved to be successful when Wu won the 1993 Best New Artist award in Hong Kong, accompanied by the box office success of the Tsui Hark movie The Butterfly Lovers the following year, in which he starred as the male protagonist Liang Shangbo alongside Charlie Yeung.
Nicky continued starring in other films such as Love in the Time of Twilight (1995), Thunder Cops (1996) and Never Say Goodbye (2001), though none of these films were able to match the critical and commercial success of The Butterfly Lovers. His musical success, however, earned him the title of one of Taiwan's "four small heavenly kings" (given to the four most popular teen idols of the 1990s) along with Alec Su, Jimmy Lin, and Takeshi Kaneshiro.
[edit] Developing further With the broadcast of the TVB series At the Threshold of an Era, ATV series Treasure Venture, and Taiwanese series Treasure Raiders in mainland China, Nicky Wu achieved fame the television industry. Since then he has been working consistently in both film and television, recently starring in the high-budgeted A Battle of Wits, alongside Andy Lau. Wu currently provides the voice of Dexter in the Chinese version of Dexter's Laboratory. [4]
[edit] Personal life Throughout the years, Nicky has been linked to stars in the entertainment industry such as Taiwanese singer Vivian Hsu and Hong Kong actress Charlie Yeung. In 1999, Nicky he was in the public eye for his much-publicized relationship with actress Ada Choi. The couple broke up in 2002 and Nicky began dating mainland actress Ma Ya Shu a few months later. This newly-formed relationship had drawn criticism from the media, for Ma Ya Shu was rumored as "the third woman" in connection with Ada Choi. However, the couple dismissed this, and recently got married in December 2006.

UPDATES! SUN guest-stars in Wyclef Jean's new music video, "Fast Car", and has recorded a
UPDATES! SUN guest-stars in Wyclef Jean's new music video, "Fast Car", and has recorded a track with American female singer Olivia Newton-John, a charity single for a CD in support of disabled athletes. SUN has also released her newest Mandarin hit single in Taiwan, a heartwarming ballad titled 不凋零的花 (Eternal Bloom). It is now the official theme song for comforting the May 12 2008 Sichuan quake victims.
This video peaked at 30th in Youtube's list of Top Faves (Entertainment) in August 2007!
Multi-platinum and Billboard-charting Asian pop diva SUN aka Geisha is a Singapore-born counsellor who exploded onto the international music scene just over 5 years ago. Every Mandarin pop album she has released has achieved multi-platinum sales throughout Asia, each album outperforming the previous one. SUN has performed to sold-out stadiums in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Singapore and Australia to as many as 20,000 people a night, and was awarded everything from the MTV Asia Award to the Hong Kong Metro Music Award. In 2003, SUN broke into Hollywood with David Foster and Peter Rafelson producing her first dance hit "Where Did Love Go". This was followed by another four back-to-back dance and rhythm singles, "One With You", "Without Love", "Ends of the Earth" and "Gone", all of which hit the top of the Billboard Dance Club Chart and the UK's Music Week Dance Chart in recent years. During this period, she consolidated her position in the music industry by working with a number of prominent musicians such as Jimmy Harry, Diane Warren, Tony Moran, Chris Cox, Eric Kupper, Jason Nevins, Moto Blanco and the Underdogs. Back in Asia, having worked with top composers such as Ma Yufen, the late Ma Zhaojun, FIR, Milk, Arys Chien, Lee Wei Song and Tan Han Jin, she was announced as the top-selling music artiste of Taiwan in 2007 and was crowned the official music ambassador of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games. SUN has her own high-end fashion apparel international distribution network, based in Singapore for the Asian market, and is currently based in Los Angeles, shuttling frequently between the US and Asia. With her latest hit single, "China Wine" (feat. Wyclef Jean, Tony Matterhorn and Elephant Man), she attempts to reach listeners internationally. SUN has since performed the 2007 Shanghai Special Olympics Theme Song with Chinese singer Sun Nan, and made an appearance at the Europe Music Awards at Berlin with Clef in November 2007, where she performed at the SonyBMG EMA Party.
SUN debuts her first international music video "China Wine", adopting her first alter-ego The Geisha! It features Wyclef Jean (of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie"), Tony Matterhorn ("Dutty Wine") & Elephant Man ("Pon di River, Pon di Bank"). Directed by internationally-renowned director Wayne Isham (of Ricky Martin's "She Bangs"), the music video also co-stars top international supermodel Tyson Beckford ("Zoolander", "Into the Blue"). SUN is dressed in specially-tailored costumes by Christian Audigier of Ed Hardy fame.
Note to the Singapore media: thanks for publicising this link. Sun is really hot and talented and she needs all the homegrown support she can get to be the world's next international sensation!
Note to all: Comments will be moderated if they are vulgar, insulting, defamatory or irrelevant (eg. revolve around religion). I will block clones as well as detractors who have no agenda other than to slime the singer. I will not otherwise censor either compliments or constructive criticism. =)
