JerryC (Chinese: 張逸帆; pinyin: Zhāng Yìfān; born 31 August 1981), also known by his English name Jerry Chang, is a Chinese guitarist, music producer and composer. He first gained international recognition for "Canon Rock", a viral rock arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D.
Following his internet fame, Chang established a successful career in the Mandopop industry as a composer and producer. He is noted for composing major hit songs such as "A Little Happiness" (from Our Times) and "Red Scarf" (from Till We Meet Again). His work has earned him nominations for Best Composer and Best Original Film Song at the Golden Melody Awards and Golden Horse Awards.
He began playing the guitar at the age of 17, and the piano before age 15. His style is influenced by classical music, neoclassical guitarists, as well as metal bands such as Helloween and Metallica and Japanese rock bands such as B'z and L'Arc-en-Ciel.
