US born Jonathan Wong is a singer-songwriter, dancer-choreographer, and actor. Graduating from Cornell University with double majors in Psychology and Modern Dance in 2008, Jonathan made his Hong Kong musical debut in 2009 and has since then earned over 50 major awards in various categories for his work.
In 2016, Jonathan competed in the world's largest televised singer-songwriter competition "Sing My Song", broadcast on China's CCTV-3. He joined Chinese R&B legend David Tao's squad and was the only Hong Kong representative to make it into the top 6 of his team. In the same year, his composition "Beyond Borders" for Chinese pop diva Karen Mok gathered more than 35 million views online. Some of his other writing credits include Sammi Zheng and Chinese boy band XNINE.
Jonathan is also a prolific actor in film and television. In "The Limelight Years" (2015), Jonathan plays an exceptionally gifted musician driven to the edge of his sanity, earning him his first "Best Supporting Actor in a Television Drama" nomination. Jonathan then went on to star in TVB's "OMG, Your Honour" (2018) as well as the upcoming series "Wonder Women" (2019) and "Airport Strikers" (2020). He has also played major supporting roles in Johnnie To's critically acclaimed thriller "Three" (2016), "The House of the Rising Sons" (2018) and "Dynasty Warriors" (2020).
Jonathan is fresh off the critically acclaimed debut run of Matteo Ricci (2019), an original theatrical musical in which he plays the title role, Italian priest Matteo Ricci, the first westerner to enter the Forbidden City and be buried on Chinese soil. The 20 sold-out shows were exceptionally well-received, earning the production invitations to re-run in Hong Kong and to tour in various countries.
