張棟樑

張棟樑 (Zhāng Dòngliáng, Nicholas Teo), born November 29, 1981, also known as Nicholas Zhang, is a Chinese-Malaysian singer signed under Play Music. Before returning to Malaysia, Nicholas was studying in Taiwan, where he won the Best Singer in a competition among all the Taiwan Universities. Thereafter, he was approached and asked if he would sign up with a company as a back-up singer (backing vocalist, to harmonize with the lead vocalist), which Nicholas ignored.

He came back to Malaysia without finishing his studies and won (1st place) in the '2002 Astro Talent Quest' singing competition with the song 黃昏(Huanghun) by Zhou Chuan Xiong. He subsequently started his career in Taiwan.

Nicholas received the 2006 Hito Newcomer Award in Taiwan.

He also played "He Qun" in the taiwanese drama "Smiling Pasta" (微笑 Pasta, 2006), and sings the theme song 北极星的眼泪 Bei Ji Xing De Yan Lei (Tears From Polaris).
