Qiu Mao Di (born 邱翊橙; pinyin: Qiū Yì Chéng), also known as Mao Di or Modi, is a member of a trio boyband, JPM, with Liao Xiao Jie/Liljay and his older brother, Qiu Wang Zi.
He was a former member of Choc7, a Taiwanese Mandopop boyband with seven members. They were all chosen from Channel [V] Taiwan's show Bang Bang Tang (BBT 模范棒棒堂), a show which sought to create new male artists in the entertainment business of Taiwan.
In 2010, a rumor of Choc7's disbandment was spread and heard. However, it is still not confirmed as of now. Qiu is now signed under A Legend Star Entertainment Corp., a company founded by former Channel [V] Taiwan director, Andy Chang.
Qiu Mao Di's family consists of his parents and an older brother. His older brother, Wang Zi was a former member of Lollipop, and currently his co-member in JPM under Sony Music Taiwan.
Qiu Mao Di was born in Taichung City, Taiwan on October 10, 1990. He attended in Taichung Liren Elementary School (臺中市北區立人國民小學) and Taichung Liren Junior High School (臺中市立立人國民中學). He also attended Jhuangjing Performing Arts Vocational Senior High School (莊敬高級職業學校表演藝術科).
A year after Lollipop was formed, Channel [V] is ready to create the second batch pop group of Bang Bang Tang variety show. After a round of making-the-band competitions, ten boys remained. Prior to the creation of Choc7, two five-member groups were formed: "Knights of Princess (Gong Zhu Bang)"; and "Elite of Otaku (Zhai Nan Shu)", which battled with each other in order to win the available spots in the new to-be-formed group. The former is formed by 翁瑞迪 (Ah Ben),韦佳宏 (Ye Shou), 簡翔棋 (Xiao Ma), 邗江 (Han Jiang), and Qiu, himself, while the latter is formed by Terry, 劉祿存 (Louis/Xiao Lu), 吳俊諺 (Wei Yu), 李銓 (Li Quan), and Ya Gao. The two groups battled simultaneously, which includes releasing of the same EPs with different tracks as part of their next stage of competition. On July 11, 2008, the two groups released an EP album entitled Adventure World (冒險世界), which consists of two versions, as said earlier. Eventually, 3 members were eliminated, and 7 were able to advance. Choc7, the newly formed group after Lollipop, was finally announced in 2008.
