For those of you who have never heard the name JJ Lin, it would be our utmost pleasure introducing this heartwarming Singaporean singer-songwriter to you. The unusually modest musician recently made headlines after being photographed sitting all by his lonesome at the QQ Music Awards, reason being that he wanted to watch every performance even after the other artistes had left the show. His unyielding support for fellow stage performers<\/a> gives\u00a0us all the more reason to love and respect Lin.<\/p>

Based in Taipei, Lin occasionally travels back to Singapore to visit friends and family - he was recently in town a few months back to celebrate is 35th birthday. We understand he\u2019s a busy man, though, seeing as he\u2019s got a whole slew of studio albums behind him (thirteen, to be exact), juggles his own fashion line SMUDGE, and has also been dabbling in acting and voice acting. Curiously, Lin is also Singapore's tourist ambassador.<\/p>

Lin has won a massive number of awards over the past decade, and has performed with the likes of American singer Sean Kingston, and Empress of J-Pop Ayumi Hamasaki. Most Singaporeans will be familiar with his work on the remixed version of Home<\/em>, originally sung by none other than Kit Chan<\/a>. We\u2019re interested to see how else Lin will represent Singapore<\/a> in future projects and endeavours!<\/p>
