Jaycee Chan Jo-Ming is an American actor, singer, composer, lyricist and guitarist who released his first CD album in 2004.

He is the son of Hong Kong action/martial arts star Jackie Chan and Taiwanese actress Lin Feng-Jiao. He was born Jo-Ming Jaycee Chan, but changed his surname to Fong/Fang as this is his true ancestral name.[1] Although this is his name in the Eastern hemisphere, his name remains "Jaycee Chan" in the Western hemisphere with a few sources listing him as "Jaycee Fong".

He was born on December 3, 1982, in Los Angeles, California[2], but other sources, including Jackie Chan's autobiography, state that he was born in 1984 and that his parents were married in 1983. Jackie's official website states that he was married in 1982.

Although Jaycee was born in Los Angeles, he grew up in Hong Kong and attended all male schools there until he moved back to Los Angeles at 15 where he attended co-ed schools.

Jaycee attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia for two semesters.

Jaycee returned to Hong Kong in 2003.
