Extended information:

1. Early experience

On March 27, 1981, JJ Lin was born into a musical family in Singapore. Under the guidance of his parents, he started learning classical piano at the age of 4. He was not good at words and discovered another language to communicate with others. As a child, JJ Lin regarded his brother as his idol and followed his footsteps in everything he did. It was not until he came into contact with pop music that he fell in love with the creative path.

In 1996, JJ Lin began to participate in various singing competitions and won multiple songwriting and singing awards. In 1999, Haidie Music discovered him in the "Extraordinary Singer Training Class". This shy and unremarkable high school student showed his pure enthusiasm for music when he played and sang by himself.

JJ Lin, who had excellent grades in school at the time, gave up his studies after receiving the admission notice from the National University of Singapore and signed a contract with Haidie, which started his music career.

2. Family situation

JJ Lin held a new album pre-order press conference. His mother suddenly appeared and took out the rattan that had "served" him since childhood, which moved him to tears. His mother was as strict as a tiger mother. He once secretly threw away the cane, but to his surprise, her mother found a lantern handle and beat him until he bled and left scars on his hands.

The record company had already decided that Lin’s mother would come to the stage from Singapore. The whole family knew about this schedule, but he was kept in the dark. He beat his chest and said: “I can’t believe they treated me so well during the Chinese New Year. Acting in a play."

Lin's mother went to the stage to buy a cane, which surprised and amused JJ Lin. She revealed that she was very naughty when she was a child, and she liked to follow her brother everywhere to play pranks. He spat in the car and was brutally repaired by his mother, but the two of them ducked in the back seat, making his mother even more angry.
