Jackson Yee, born Yi Yangqianxi on 28 November 2000 in Huaihua, Hunan, China, began his entertainment journey as a child star in 2005, appearing on variety programs and quickly gaining industry attention. By 2009 he joined the idol group Fashion Youngsters, and after leaving in 2011 he made his acting debut in the television series Iron Pear, showcasing his early versatility. In March 2012 he entered Hunan TV's Up Young talent show, catching the eye of TF Entertainment, which led to his solo single “Dream Skyscraper” and culminated in his official debut with the wildly popular boy band TFBoys in August 2013, marking the start of his mainstream fame. Yee’s artistic scope expanded through voice work for the Chinese dub of The Little Prince in 2015 and a notable performance as a fox demon in the 2016 xianxia drama Noble Aspirations. His cinematic breakthrough arrived with the critically acclaimed film Better Days (2019), earning him the Best New Performer award at the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards, while his role in the historical mystery series The Longest Day in Chang'an further cemented his status as a leading actor. Beyond acting, Yee has excelled as a singer, releasing English tracks like “Nothing to Lose” and “Unpredictable,” and launching the cover album Backseat Theater in 2020, demonstrating a sophisticated blend of pop and dance influences. A dedicated philanthropist, he has served as a WHO China Special Envoy for Health, founded the Jackson Yee Fund to aid “left‑behind” children, and contributed millions to disaster relief efforts, reflecting his deep commitment to social causes. His influence extends into fashion and luxury branding, serving as a global ambassador for Armani Beauty, Tiffany & Co., Jaeger‑LeCoultre, Lindberg, and Golden Goose, while also navigating controversies such as the 2019 Givenchy contract termination. In 2024, Yee achieved historic milestones by becoming the youngest member of the Chinese Film Association Council and the first Olympic™ Friend in China, underscoring his lasting impact on both entertainment and cultural advocacy.
