Jen Chia-Hsüan (
Chinese:
任家萱;
pinyin:
Rèn Jiāxuān;
born October 31,
1981 in
Taipei,
Taiwan), more commonly credited as
Selina, is a member of the
Taiwanese girl-band
S.H.E. On
June 11, 2004,
she graduated from the
National Taiwan Normal University[1] with a Bachelor of Education degree, majoring in Civic Education and
Leadership.
[2]. In September 2006, Selina released her
first book,
Selina Loves Beading (愛的小珠珠), which taught readers how to use beads to make designs.
On
August 8,
2000,
HIM International Music held a '
Universal 2000
Talent and
Beauty Girl
Contest' in
search for new artists to be signed under their label. Her younger sister really wanted to
join but was too
young. Instead, Selina joined the
contest in her
place. The contest had about 1000 contestants and after many
tiring rounds of competing,
seven contestants were left for the 'Cruel
Stage' round. The three members of S.H.E were formed from here. Following the
competition,
the record company gave all seven contestants an audition.
Selina Ren was the actual
winner of this contest.
she caught the judges' attention in the first round by singing
Coco Lee's 'Before I
Fall In
Love' and entered the
final round with no trouble with 'The Closest Stranger'.
Due to her nervousness during the final round, Selina was called twice, and when
she was announced the
winner,
She was doubtful because there were other contestants who did not get called on. However, all three
future members of S.H.E were signed together under HIM
International Music. The
name "Selina" initially had two possible spellings: Selina and
Selena. Ren Jiaxuan eventually chose "Selina" simply because she would be able to
dot the i.
Selina's voice earned her duets with
Tank, a soloist on
HIM's roster, as well as
Lee-Hom Wang.
