Joker Xue (Chinese: 薛之谦; pinyin: Xuē Zhīqiān, born July 17, 1983) is a Chinese singer-songwriter and record producer, formerly known as Jacky Xue.[1] One of the most-streamed and most popular Mandopop artists, Xue's musical style melds the classic pop pairing of piano and strings with folk-tinged acoustic guitar and R&B beats; in recent years, he has incorporated more rock elements into his music.[2][3][4] Xue is known for his ballads and his "jokester" nature, particularly his witticism on Weibo.[5]. His sense of humor contributes to his popularity as it's "not just about good music, but it is also about him showing his funny side to fans."[1]
In April 2024, Xue joined Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, Jay Chou, and Mayday as one of five Chinese artists and the only mainland China artist to hold more than 100 shows in a single tour.[6] In June 2024, Xue performed two stadium shows in Shantou and became the first Chinese artist to have 100 stadium shows in a single tour.[7]
