J.Sheon moved to New York at the age of 19 and spent eight years there. According to him, he started to produce music because he was bored. However, his time in New York exposed him to different genres of western music which helped him to create songs of his own unique Hip-Hop style. Also as an independent artist, he had to do all the jobs a label or record company does, such as write songs, do remaking and shoot the music video.
In 2013, he suddenly decided to take his music career more serious and moved back to Taiwan. He did cover See You Again in Mandarin on Youtube which became popular.
He signed up with Sony Music Taiwan and in 2017 debuted with his self-titled album J.Sheon街巷.
In 2018, he won the Billboard Radio China Top New Artist Awards 2017.
Careless
J.Sheon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've fly through my head like wine
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
Love, oh love, oh careless love
In your clutches of desire
You've made me break a many true vow
Love, oh love, oh careless love
All my happiness bereft
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Trusted you now, it's too late
You've made me throw my old friend down
That's why I sing this song of hate
Love, oh love, oh careless love
Night and day, I weep and moan
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
