Biography
Juno was born in Hong Kong. His father, CCT Telecom chairman Clement Ma, was instrumental in Juno's early success. Juno never had academic talent and dropped out of high school in 2002.
Without a high school degree, Juno leveraged his father's connections as a commercial pop singer with Universal Music. He then launched the first EP On the Road. Two albums, On the Road and Next Step, were released with Universal Music.
To pave his career, his father and management spared no cost to send him to Japan to improve his dancing and singing skill under the tutor Sam (Maruyama Masaharu), a member of famous Japanese pop group TRF (aka TK Rave Factory).
Juno immediately won many newcomer awards upon his debut. However, it was later revealed that his fans were hired professional groupies earning up to HKD150 an hour and he was constantly booed by audience every time he stepped on the stage. Over 100,000 copies of his first EP were purchased by his father.
