Eric Chou

Eric Chou is a Taiwanese singer and songwriter known for his Mandopop hits and acting roles, recognized by fans as the “king of the lovelorn people.” After releasing his debut single ‘The Distance of Love’ in August 2014, Eric Chou quickly established himself as a leading Mandopop singer and songwriter. Composed during his high school years, the track served as the emotional ending theme for the popular Taiwanese drama ‘The Way We Were.’ ‘The Distance of Love’ quickly amassed over 100 million views on YouTube, marking Chou as the youngest Mandopop artist at the time to achieve this milestone, and earned him the TV Theme Song Award at the Hito Music Awards in 2015. His debut studio album, ‘My Way to Love,’ released in December 2014, further cemented his early success by topping 18 music charts. Chou built upon this initial momentum with his second studio album, ‘What Love Has Taught Us,’ released in 2016.

He again received the Artist of the Year award at the KKBOX Music Awards in 2019, followed by his ‘How Have You Been Tour’ (2019–2020). In 2020, Chou became the first singer to hold a full-capacity concert at Taipei Arena during the COVID-19 pandemic, coinciding with the release of his fifth studio album, ‘When We Were Young.’ Expanding into acting, Chou took on roles in television series and films, including ‘My Best Friend’s Breakfast’ (2022). His contributions to the film earned him the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Film Song in 2022. Most recently, Eric Chou released his album ‘Almost’ in 2024.
