周杰倫在單親家庭中成長，由母親葉惠美撫養長大，小時候個性羞澀。不過他
 在音樂表現了濃厚的興趣，3歲起學習鋼琴，16歲起便嘗試作曲。他畢業於
 淡江中學音樂科，主修鋼琴，副修大提琴。周杰倫的古典音樂背景為他將來在
 音樂產業界發展打下了深厚的基礎。首次亮相幕前是為參加電視歌唱比賽的朋
 友作鋼琴伴奏，這次比賽雖然落敗，伴奏的周杰倫卻被吳宗憲發掘進入樂壇。
 不過吳宗憲認為周杰倫樣貌不足以讓他馬上當紅，所以讓他專注作曲填詞。而
 他的這些作品多成了當時非常流行的曲子。

2000年11月1日首次推出個人專輯《周杰倫同名專輯》出到時帶鴨舌帽
 ，髮型為捲髮，在華語歌壇一炮而紅，引起了很大的回響，奠定他在華语流行
 樂壇中佔有一席之地。

周杰倫過去一直抗拒作音樂及廣告拍攝以外的發展，在以他命名的《尋找周杰
 倫》電影中只作短暫露面。後來到2004年首次擔當正式角色，拍攝由劉偉
 強和麥兆輝執導、日本漫畫改篇的電影《頭文字D》，飾演男主角藤原拓海。
 電影在2005年暑假於大中華地區上映。這部電影周杰倫的片酬是一百萬美
 元。周杰倫並以此片獲得第四十二屆金馬獎和金像奖最佳新演員獎。2006
 年3月開始參加張藝謀執導新片《滿城盡戴黃金甲》的演出，這是周杰倫首次
 擔當演出古裝片。

而他在華語流行樂壇的發展在2004年也到達前所未有的頂峰，他在該年所
 發行的第五張個人專輯《七里香》銷售記錄令人咋舌，僅單週便創下銷售量累
 計四百萬的紀錄。據悉，在當時每兩個走進唱片行的人，就有一個要買周杰倫
 的專輯。

2005年11月推出個人第6張專輯《十一月的蕭邦》全亚洲預購量即破2
 00萬張。
另外，他的歌曲《蝸牛》被收入成為上海中學生愛國主義推薦歌曲，而同時被
 收入的歌曲還包括成龍的《真心英雄》、《中國人》等多首港台流行歌曲。[

依然范特西是周杰倫原定於2006年9月8日正式全亞洲同步發行的個人專
 輯，但由于內地不肖壓片加工廠員工將周杰倫最新專輯之白片盜取流出，導致
 發片日期提前3天，也就是9月5日正式全亞洲同步發行。
2006年，在杨竣荣的撮合下，费玉清与周杰伦首度合作，在其新专辑《依
 然范特西》中，合唱主打歌“千里之外”。


[编辑] 感情生活
周杰倫曾與多位女星傳出緋聞，如徐若瑄、溫嵐、賴薇如、潘美辰等，尤其與
 蔡依林的感情最廣為人知兩人在吳宗憲綜藝節目我猜我猜我猜猜猜中第一次螢
 幕前見面，在2005年農曆新年期間，周杰倫被香港雜誌《忽然1周》拍攝
 到他與年代電視新聞主播侯佩岑同遊東京，兩人態度親暱，周杰倫不得不承認
 這段戀情。

周杰倫一般低調處理與侯佩岑的戀情，但2005年8月10日與侯佩岑在台
 北鬧區遇上狗仔隊時，下車追打台灣《壹週刊》記者，豎起中指的動作被攝入
 鏡頭。《壹週刊》記者將片段交給電視台播放，迫使周杰倫翌日公開認錯。由
 于周杰伦平时个性鲜明，在使他赢得了大批歌迷的同时，也引起了很多人对他
 言行的不满，并且时常造成反对者与他的擁護者之间的长期论战。也正因为这
 件事情，他写出了收錄在第六张专辑中的《四面楚歌》這首歌，諷刺狗仔隊。 2006年8月份與侯佩岑分手。這段期間，周董曾說過:我從未與侯交往過
 。

其後，又被傳與台灣女子歌唱組合S.H.E.成員田馥甄（Hebe）發展
 戀情，更被指同遊英國。有消息指，周杰倫於3月份藉著往英國拍MV，順道
 為田馥甄慶祝生日。周杰倫與田馥甄則否認此事，並澄清兩人僅為朋友。

Jay Chou was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and raised by his mother who was a high school teacher. He began playing the piano at the age of 3, showing enormous interest in music. While he was in the third-grade, he found an interest in cello and had daily cello lessons. His mother took him to concerts to help further develop his talents. His parents divorced when he was 14, as a result he became very independent. Jay studied piano with a minor in cello at Dan Jiang Senior High School. This accounts for his solid background in classical music. In June 1996, Jay did not meet the requirements of his selected university, so he found a job as a waiter.

Jay's first encounter with the music industry was when he entered a talent show as a pianist with his high school friend. Although their performance wasn't exceptional, the producer Jacky Wu saw talent in Jay's composition and decided to give him a chance. He was initially hired to write and produce music for others, including Vivian Hsu, Jolin Tsai and Jody Hui Chiang. Although many of his songs became popular, most people were unaware that they were his creations.

In 2000, Jay has his own album debut by producing and releasing Jay, which, much to everyone's surprise, became an instant hit. It gained great attention in Taiwan as well as the international Chinese community (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Singapore). When his second album Fantasy was released, he was already among one of the top pop stars in the Asian community. His most critically and financially successful album as of yet is his third, Eight Dimensions.

Jay's fourth CD was named after his mother, Ye Hui Mei. This revolutionary album reveals that Jay is not afraid to experiment with new styles and sounds. He shows a willingness to break his "love ballad" mold and show a more daring and edgy side.

Common Jasmine Orange, Jay's fifth CD, was released on August 3, 2005; later in the month, Jay played the leading role Takumi Fujiwara in the movie Initial D, which was based on a popular Japanese anime and manga of the same name. Jay won the award for Best Newcomer at the 42nd Golden Horse Awards and the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in the movie. The movie was a huge success and premiered in Asia and western countries as well. Other well known celebrities also appeared in the film, such as Anne Suzuki, Stephen Yung, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Chapman To, and Anthony Wong.

Initial J, his greatest hits compilation, was released in 2005 in Japan only. The name is a play on his movie role, Initial D. reyard

Jay's critically acclaimed album November's Chopin was released in November 2005. It is based on Frederic Chopin, one of his favourite composers of all time. Jay composed the first song in the album, "Nocturne" (夜曲), which was greatly influenced by Chopin's music. Both Chopin and Jay are nicknamed in Chinese, "piano poets" (钢琴诗人).

In January 2006, Jay released his latest EP "Huo Yuan Jia (霍元甲)" which includes the theme song he composed for Jet Li's latest and, allegedly, last martial arts film, Fearless. In the MV for 'Huo Yuan Jia', Jay has a turn at swinging the Chinese Weapon, "Three Sectional Staff".

September 5, 2006 marked the release of his seventh album Still Fantasy.

Jay Chou has completed production with Tony Leung Chiu Wai on a $7.7 million U.S. project. It has been confirmed that Jay will compose and perform a song that will be played at the end of Chinese director Zhang Yimou's new movie, Curse of the Golden Flower. In addition, Jay Chou will star in the Chinese anime re-make "Slam Dunk". It is also rumoured that he will play the monkey king in Journey to the West (rumoured to be a Steven Spielberg and Zhang Yimou collaboration).

Since entering the music industry, Chou has been romantically linked to an array of female celebrities, such as Jolin Tsai, Vivian Hsu, Ock Ju-Hyun, and Hebe Tian from S.H.E.. In Februar
