JPM is a Taiwanese Mandopop music band formed under the management of Sony Music company with artists Jay Chou, Leehom Wang, and Vanness Wu. The group debuted on January 11, 2011 with three members: Liljay, Prince, and Mao Di from A Legend Star Entertainment Corp. Two members (Jay and Prince) were originally part of Lollipop until 2009, while Mao Di is from Choc7.
Prior to Mao Di's addition, Jay and Prince released a single entitled Dance Can Be Replaced ("舞可取代") on July 8, 2010. On August 26, 2011, JPM finally released their debut album, Moonwalk which contains ten songs and one Cantonese version of "Because of You".
The name of the band is taken from the first letters of each member's names: LilJay, Prince and Modi, forming the band name, JPM.
Former Lollipop members, Qiu Wang Zi and Liao had been undergoing a series of secret training for the past year after they had separated with the band in 2009. On July 8, 2010, the two of them released a single entitled Dance Can Be Replaced ("舞可取代"). On September 10, they had their first concert at the Hong Kong Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center to promote their single. In the end, their first single was successful as they received six awards at the end of the year, which includes "Popular Dance Song Award" and "Idol Award" by the "Metro Radio Mandarin Hits Music Awards Presentation","Best Dance Song Award" and "Idol Award" by the "Seventh Hit Golden King Awards", and "Outstanding Dance Song Singers" and "Network Popular Singers" by the "Chinese Golden Melody Awards".
On the day of A Legend Star Entertainment Corp.'s first anniversary, Liao and Qiu decided to get back together and form a new group called JPM, alongside Qiu's brother, Mao Di, on January 11, 2011. JPM aims for the top idol group in Asia with the release of their highly anticipated debut album. On August 26, 2011, JPM finally released their first album entitled Moonwalk. Their single, Moon Walk features a million-dollar music video in which the boys perform a spectacular "space dance" tailor-made for them by famous Taiwan dance choreographer Terry Lin. Aside from the music video, JPM members also contributed with the making of their album as Liao filled the role of the producer for part of the album, while Qiu Wang Zi is the lyricist of three songs and composer of two songs in the album. In addition with the ten songs listed, the album also includes a Cantonese version of "因為有你" (Because of You). On August 29, three days after its release, the album sales reached more than 50,000 copies. At the end of the year, JPM garnered two awards from the "8th Hit King Golden Awards", and three more in other music awards.
