BiographyJolin Tsai I-lin (Chinese: 蔡依林; pinyin: Cài Yīlín; born September 15, 1980), also romanized as Jolin Cai, is a Taiwanese singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. Recognized as the "Queen of C-Pop", Tsai is one of the most influential figures in the Chinese-speaking world's pop culture. Her continuous reinvention and versatility in musical style and visual presentation have established her as a leading figure in popularizing dance-pop music in Greater China. Tsai exercises significant creative control over her career, and her work, which often addresses societal issues and ideological themes, has achieved both commercial success and critical acclaim.

Born in Hsinchuang, Taiwan, Tsai gained prominence in 1998 after winning a singing competition organized by MTV Mandarin. Her debut album, 1019 (1999), cemented her status as a teen idol with a significant following among teenagers. With the release of Magic (2003), Tsai transitioned to a more dance-oriented musical style. This was further solidified with Dancing Diva (2006), a breakthrough album that earned her first Golden Melody Award and firmly established her as a prominent dance-pop artist in the Chinese music scene. She went on to win multiple Golden Melody Awards for critically acclaimed albums such as Muse (2012), Play (2014), and Ugly Beauty (2018). With a total of seven Golden Melody Awards to date, she remains the most awarded dance-pop artist in the award's history.

Tsai has sold over 25 million records, making her the highest-selling Taiwanese female recording artist since 2000. Since the release of Magic (2003), each of her studio albums has been the highest-selling album by a female artist in Taiwan for the year of its release, with four also being the highest-selling album overall in the country. Tsai has frequently appeared on the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list, ranking in the top 20 for six out of ten years since 2010 and being named the number one Chinese female singer three times. Her net worth surpassed NT$2 billion in 2014, and she has been ranked as the highest-paid Taiwanese female singer 16 times between 2003 and 2022.
