Jean Seizure

Having been through training for children in theatre, Jean started acting for Mediacorp at the age of six after her first audition. She got bombed to death in "The Price of Peace (1997)", breaking the hearts of her kindergarten classmates, who held her face and wept when they saw her the next day because they thought she died for real. She also died after stepping on a rusty nail in "Stepping Out (1999)". As she grew older, she stopped dying in shows and hosted whacky mandarin variety shows for children such as "What's Up" and "Kids@World" by Oak3 Films.

Some people may recognise Jean as CHIJ uniform-clad Sumin, her first short film lead role, in The Autograph Book by Wee Li Lin. The short film won the "Special Achievement Award" at the Singapore International Film Festival and the "Certificate of Excellence" at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival.

Besides acting, Jean also sings and writes songs. She was brought into the children's choir in church at a young age by her parents, Wu Gang and Xiahui, both veteran mando-pop singers during the 70s. Her first large-scale singing performance was held at the Indoor Stadium, where she sang alone on stage to an audience of 6,000 at 7 years old. Jean picked up contemporary mando-pop music when she discovered A*Mei at the age of 9 and spent her childhood performing and making appearances at community events with her mother, Xia Hui, who mentored her.

Growing up, Jean spent her free time writing songs and posting videos of her singing on YouTube. She was awarded the EXCEL Award at the nEbO Spirit of Youth Awards 2012 and 2013 as well as the Best Vocalist Award at the nEbO Spirit of Youth Awards 2014. In 2016, Jean emerged as Champion for Starhub's online singing competition, Hear Me Sing. She was also a part of Noise Singapore's Music Mentorship programme and was mentored by Sara Wee of 53A.

In 2017, Jean participated as one of two backing vocalists in Sing•浪 Concert, headed by Fang Dong Kai and Goh Kheng Long, featuring local musicians such as Alfred Sim, Tay Kewei, and Gentlebones. She also shared the stage with Jacky Cheung in July at Harbin for the Jacky Cheung Classic World Tour that year.

Jean is currently 1/5 of award-winning a cappella band - The Apex Project, Champions of the Singapore Acappella Championship in 2016, First-runner up as well as Best Stage Presentation Award recipients at the 2017 Shanghai Acappella Festival. Going for performance tours in Hong Kong alongside international acappella groups like The Nor'easters and Accent Vocal and in Moscow, Russia in 2019.

Behind-the-scenes, Jean loves writing, taking photos, eating, and painting. She obtained her BFA in Creative Producing in Chapman University Singapore in 2014, and hopes to pursue her dreams of creating stories worth telling.
