Liljay

Liao Xiao Jie (born ), also known as Xiao Jie or Liljay, is a member of a trio boyband, JPM, with Qiu Wang Zi and Qiu Mao Di.

He was a former member of Lollipop, a Taiwanese Mandopop boyband, which consists of six members, Zhuang Ao Quan/Owodog, Qiu Wang Zi/Prince, Yang Xiao Yu/Fabien, Liao Wei Lian/William, Liu A-wei, and himself.

They were all chosen from Channel [V] Taiwan's show Bang Bang Tang (BBT 模范棒棒堂), a show which sought to create new male artists in the entertainment business of Taiwan.

Lollipop signed under the label Gold Typhoon (formerly EMI Capitol) and Channel [V] Taiwan in 2006.

In June 2006, they went to Bang Bang Tang (BBT) Taipei audition together and both were selected into "Bang Bang Tang" television show.

The first episode of BBT was aired on August 14, 2006.

On November 27, 2006, the episode in which the six members of Lollipop were selected and revealed was aired.

He was the first member to be selected into Lollipop.

The members signed a contract to Channel V, and Dora Ao became their agent.

They, then, officially signed a contract with EMI Capitol on December 2, 2006, appointing Zhuang as the leader of the newly formed group Lollipop.

On December 9, 2006, Lollipop made its first public performance as a group at the V-Power Music Storm Concert.

Lollipop's first EP, Colorful Lollipop was released on January 26, 2007, with six different covers, each featuring a member of the group.

Four months later, on May 25, a second EP titled Summer's First Experience was released along with a photobook compiled with photos taken in Okinawa, as well as a DVD.

Lyrics were written by Qiu and himself for the song "Summer's First Experience."

During the summer of 2007, Liao and the other members of Lollipop made their acting debut in the drama Brown Sugar Macchiato, a collaboration with Hey Girl.

The first episode was aired in Taiwan on July 15, 2007.

Later, Lollipop admits on Kangxi Lai Le that the drama had been more of an introduction of the two groups instead of a major acting challenge, as the members were told to act like themselves, and that many subplots were explained only briefly due to the large number of main characters.

After thirteen episodes, the drama ended on October 7, 2007.

They released an official soundtrack, then, with songs from Lollipop and Hey Girl.

Liao wrote the lyrics for the opening theme of the said drama, entitled "黑糖秀"(Hei Tang Xiu).

On September 26, 2007, Lollipop visited Hong Kong to promote their television soundtrack Brown Sugar Macchiato.

This was their first overseas promotional activity ever since their debut, and a huge fan turnout caused a great commotion at the shopping mall where they were having their autograph session.

At the same time, Liao celebrated his birthday with thousands of fans in this event.

Lollipop's debut album Gyashan (哪裡怕) was released on December 28, 2007.

Gyashan entered Mandarin charts in the number one position, outselling F4's album Waiting for You – Await Your Love (在這裡等你) which was released on the same day.

Liao contributed lyrics to three of the ten songs in this album.

At the same year, Lollipop began hosting their own show Lollipop Gyashan (Lollipop哪裡怕) on October 27 until April 19, 2008, when the show stopped airing.

On January 26, 2008, a year after the release of their first EP, Lollipop held its debut concert at the Taipei Arena.

The concert DVD was released on June 6, 2008, breaking chart records with sales rates of more than 35%.

The DVD has topped the charts for a period of one month since.

However, their artist management contract with Channel [V] Taiwan ended at the end of 2009.

Liao is now signed under A Legend Star Entertainment Corp., a company founded by former Channel [V] Taiwan director, Andy Chang.

Liao Xiao Jie's family consists of his parents, a younger sister, and a younger brother.

His younger brother was also a member of Bang Bang Tang II, but he was eliminated in the second round.

He also owns a female Chow Chow, called Lolly.

It was bought by him and Zhuang Ao Quan in 2009.

In his childhood, Liao studied in Taipei Municipal Hulu Elementary School, Taipei Municipal Chongqing Junior School, and Taipei Municipal Song Shan High School of Commerce.

He then went on to attend Takming University of Science and Technology where he met Zhuang.

However, due to their busy lives after joining Lollipop, they later transferred to Hsing Wu College, where he is currently a student in the Department of Applied English.

Besides studying in the same school, him and Zhuang are also members of a Taiwanese breakdance group Black Angle Crew.
