Shin

Shin (traditional Chinese: 信樂團; simplified Chinese: 信乐团; pinyin: Xìn yuètuán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sìn ga̍k-thoân) is a Taiwanese five-man Mandopop rock band who debuted in 2002 with their self-titled album, Shin. The name 'Shin' came from the groups's former lead vocalist, Shin. Other members include guitarist Chris, bass player Max, keyboard player Tomi, and drummer Michael.

Apart from Shin's home market of Taiwan, the band also have fans in Mainland China, Hong Kong and among overseas Chinese. The track "一了百了" is listed at number 38 on Hit Fm Taiwan's Hit Fm Annual Top 100 Singles Chart (Hit-Fm年度百首單曲) for 2002.[1]

On 20 March 2007, lead vocalist Shin left the band to launch his solo career. The remaining members spend the next few years looking for a new lead vocalist. In early 2010, Shin debut with new lead singer Liu Wenjie.[2]
