Biography
Phil Chang (Chinese: 張宇; pinyin: Zhāng Yǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiuⁿ Ú; Pha̍k-fa-sṳ: Chong Yí, born 30 April 1967) is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter, television presenter and actor.
Education and career
By the time he graduated from Feng Chia University in financial services, he was already known as an accomplished folk singer, pianist and guitar-player. He issued his first album, Walking the Wind, in 1992, and achieved success with his second, Well-intentioned, in 1993. In 1997 he married long-term partner, lyricist Hsiao Hui-wen (蕭慧文), who uses the pen name Shi Yi-lang (十一郎). His 1999 album Sun and Moon was another big hit.
In 2004, he joined Chang Hsiao-yen to co-host Happy Sunday, replacing Taiwanese girl group S.H.E.
On 30 April 2007 he began presenting his own show on satellite channel TVBS-G, Why Men Do wrong.
In 2008, he was one of the stars of the Taiwanese television series "歡喜來逗陣" (MOE Taiwanese Hokkien recommended characters: 歡喜來鬥陣; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hoaⁿ-hí lâi tàu-tīn).
In 2014 he took part in I Am a Singer (season 2) as a contestant and host. He made it to the 2nd part of the finals and was placed 6th overall.
In 2020, he revealed on YouTube interview that he had been on hiatus since 2018 to self-study about Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
