Born in 1956, Chen Ming-chang is a senior Taiwanese musician whose music talent has been well recognized. Chen started developing interest in music since he was in junior high school. He has created Taiwanese-language songs that are rooted in local culture. Some of his most celebrated works include "Chase Chase Chas" and "Odyssey."
