Wong began his singing career in a duo with Victor Wong. The pair had attained notable success in Taiwan, but in a mutual agreement, the two split in 2000. Wong has released five solo albums since then, the third one being his breakthrough album, Fairy Tale. He has achieved a great success in Taiwan, mainland China, Hong Kong and Malaysia where he is based. Wong has also helped several other successful singers by composing songs for them, including the famous ballad "Courage"(勇氣) originally sung by Fish Leong. Friendship is also recursive within his songs. Many people call him "the Prince of love songs"(情歌王子).
He enjoys success as an actor in Chinese dramas and movies as well.
Born in Ipoh, Malaysia to a Hakka family, he is the elder of two children. He has a younger brother.
Wong, as a devoted Catholic, often sang in the church choir during his school days and was once a choir teacher at a church. Graduating from Sam Tet School in Ipoh, Wong often participated in musical performances in school and has been writing his own songs since secondary school. After he moved to Kuala Lumpur to pursue a course in computer engineering, his interest in the world of music and music composition began to grow.
