Justin Lo

Justin Lo Ting Wei (, born 1 July 1976), known professionally by his stage name Tse Tien, is a Hong Kong American singer-songwriter, actor and record producer working in Hong Kong.

Lo was born in Syracuse, New York, and moved to Hong Kong with his parents when he was two years old.

He studied at St Paul's Co-educational Primary School and St. Paul's Co-educational College.

In 1981, composer Joseph Koo Ka-Fai invited Justin, aged 5 at the time, and his younger sister Roxane to sing in a commercial for Barbie.

Lo felt that the work at Yahoo!

was very boring, so he decided to move back to Hong Kong to pursue his dream of making music.

In 1989, Lo moved to Seattle, Washington, in the United States to further his studies.

He spent two years in the University of Washington and finished his degree in Graphics Design at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island in 1999.

After graduation, he worked as a web designer at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, California.

Lo grew up in a family where music has always played an important role.

His uncle, Ted Lo, is a famous music arranger and record producer in Hong Kong.

In addition, the singer songwriter was a member in the Hong Kong Children's Choir, and he developed vast interest in music as he was growing up.

In 2003, his uncle Ted Lo introduced him to Mark Lui, one of the most popular pop-composers and producers in Hong Kong.

Recognizing the talent in Justin, Mark Lui signed him to his music producing company on Your Mark Ltd and Lo officially began his musical career in Hong Kong.

He produced the album Day & Night for Janice (衛蘭) and wrote two songs "大雄" and "傷追人" for Leo Ku.

In 2005, he performed in an a cappella section in Ku's Solid Gold Hits Concert.

His outstanding performance was validated by Mr. Paco Wong from Gold Label Music Ltd. and Wong signed him up as a singer.

His plugged songs included "好人" (which was not composed by him), "Erica", "命硬" and "我有今日" (he wrote the latter two).

"好人" received very positive responses.

He was considered as one of the leading contenders of that year's New Male Artist Award.

His debut CD album Justin was released on 29 November 2005.

Over half of the songs found in this album are written by him.

It was a hit: 15,000 copies were sold on the first day.

Sales reached 25,000 copies on 20 December 2005.

In 2006, Lo made his feature film debut with Love @ First Note, co-starring alongside youthful singers such as Kary Ng, Alex Fong, Stephy Tang, and Theresa Fu.

That same year, Lo also co-starred in 2 Become 1 opposite Miriam Yeung and Richie Ren.

Lo was born as Lo Ting Wei, and has the English name Justin.

His stage name Tse Tien derives from the transliteration of his English name.

He is also credited as "Justin Lo".

For a while Lo did some freelance design work while sending numerous demo tapes to record and label companies.

Justin released his second album, "No Protection", on 24 March 2006, two days before his debut concert "One Good Show".

He held his debut concert in the Hong Kong Coliseum on 26 March 2006.

The title of the show was "One Good Show".

The tickets were sold out in just within 10 minutes on 13 February and thus two more concerts (his 2nd and 3rd concert in 2006) had to be held on 18 & 19 April 2006.

In Sydney, Australia, in May 2006, he took part in a concert, accompanied by Stephy Tang, Alex Fong and Wilfred Lau at Sydney Entertainment Centre and Melbourne Arts Centre, on the 19 and 21 May 2006 respectively.

The title of the concert was J.A.W.S.: each letter representing the first letter of each artist's name.

Justin held his fourth concert of 2006 in Canton, China on 1 September 2006.

The title of the concert was "Watson's Distilled Water: Listen to Justin Sing", followed by another show with the same title in Hong Kong Exhibition Center (his 5th concert for 2006) on 13 Sep 2006.

His sixth concert was held in Macau on 21 October 2006, One Good Show.

His seventh concert in 2006 will be held in Malaysia on 24 December 2006.
