JJ Neo

JJ's passion for singing and acting was evident from a young age. Having resided in Taipei from 2007-2012, her teenage years were spent immersed in both English and Mandarin pop songs. As a result, she thoroughly enjoyed performing songs for various school events. JJ was also heavily involved in her school's theatre program, where she wrote, directed, and starred in countless plays.

Since 2015, JJ has collaborated with indie electronica music producers from the US, UK, France, and Australia whom she writes lyrics, melodies, and also sings for. Her collaborations have been released on Soundcloud, Spotify, and Youtube. She enjoys exploring different genres of music and wishes to translate her indie electronica elements into Mandarin pop songs.

After being approached by a talent scout, JJ was encouraged to join the Acting Category of Huayi Brothers Icon Search in 2018. Though the talent competition was her first attempt at acting in Mandarin, JJ was crowned winner of the Acting Category in Singapore. This took her to Shenzhen, China where she competed alongside 51 other contestants from China, Melbourne, Sydney, and Toronto in the grand finals of the competition. JJ emerged as one of the final winners, walking away with an exclusive invitation to the Shanghai International Film festival as a performing artiste.

In 2020, JJ and Jarrell collaborated and worked on a Covid song "The Light" that is recognized nation wide, the song is not only shared by many, our prime minister Lee Hsien Loong also shared the song on his social media.

A philosophy major at the National University of Singapore, JJ’s lust for life and sunny outlook motivates her to keep embarking on new challenges in music, acting and hosting.
