Hsiao Hung-jen (Chinese: 蕭閎仁; pinyin: Xiāo Hóng Rén; Wade–Giles: Hsiao Hung Jen; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Siau Hông-jîn; sometimes Xiao Hong Ren; born 21 August 1984) is a Taiwanese musician who notably mixes Taiwanese Hokkien, Mandarin, and occasionally English in his lyrics. He first gained fame at 11 years old when he won a singing competition on Taiwan's popular "Five Light Awards" program.[1]

Hsiao has collaborated with other stars on the Asian pop music scene such as Jay Chou (who directed the music video for Hsiao's first single, "Watch the Sleeves Go Down"[2]) and F.I.R.'s Ian Chen.[3] Aside from pop ballads on love and romance, Hsiao's lyrics often focus on social criticism and his Taiwanese roots.

His debut album "Hsiso Hung-Jen Debut Album" was released in May 2008, followed by his second album "His Name is F*ck" in March 2009.[4] His third album was released on 31 December 2010.

Hsiao was nominated in 2009 for "Best Newcomer" in Taiwan's 20th Golden Melody Awards.
