Jam Hsiao (traditional Chinese: 蕭敬騰; simplified Chinese: 萧敬腾; pinyin: Xiāo Jìngténg; Wade–Giles: Hsiao Ching-teng, born 30 March 1987 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese Mandopop singer. At the age of 17, while still in high school, he began working as a restaurant singer. In May 2007, Hsiao took part in the first season of China Television (CTV)'s (中視) star search show, One Million Star (超級星光大道), which was the Taiwanese equivalent of American Idol. He was a challenger and quickly rose to fame with his wide vocal ranges and unique singing style. His diverse music genres and charisma quickly captured the attention of the Taiwanese media and music industry. After signing a contract with Warner Music Taiwan Ltd. in 2008, Jam Hsiao has released eight individual records and received good reviews and sales in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mainland China, and other Southeast Asian countries.
In 2011, Jam was offered the lead role in the action film The Killer Who Never Kills and won the Best New Actor Award in Hong Kong's 2012 31st Golden Film. In 2013, his fourth album It's All About Love won him the prestigious title of Best Male Singer at Taiwan's 24th Golden Melody Awards. His second movie, My Geeky Nerdy Buddies, a romance comedy in which he played the role of the male lead was released in August in Mainland China and Taiwan.
Jam is currently on his third world tour, called "Triple Jam".
He released a cover album titled "Reminiscence" in December 2015. All 10 tracks were covers of popular classic oldies and the entire album recording only took 8 hours, all in only one take - with both Jam and his group of musicians recording the instrumental and singing parts simultaneously.
