== Education and career ==
By the time he graduated from [[Feng Chia University]] in financial services, he was already known as an accomplished folk singer, pianist and guitar-player. He issued his first album, ''Walking the Wind'', in 1992, and achieved success with his second, ''Well-intentioned'', in 1993. In 1997 he married long-term partner, lyricist Hsiao Hui-wen (蕭慧文), who uses the pen name Shi Yi-lang (十一郎). His 1999 album ''Sun and Moon'' was another big hit.

In 2004, he joined [[Chang Hsiao-yen]] to co-host ''Happy Sunday'', replacing Taiwanese girl group [[S.H.E]].

On 30 April 2007 he began presenting his own show on satellite channel [[TVBS-G]], ''Why Men Do wrong''.

In 2008, he was one of the stars of the Taiwanese television series "歡喜來逗陣" (MOE Taiwanese Hokkien recommended characters: 歡喜來鬥陣; {{zh|poj=Hoaⁿ-hí lâi tàu-tīn}}).

In 2014 he took part in [[I Am a Singer (season 2)]] as a contestant and host. He made it to the 2nd part of the finals and was placed 6th overall.

In 2020, he revealed on YouTube interview that he had been on hiatus since 2018 to self-study about [[Traditional Chinese medicine|Chinese medicine]] and [[acupuncture]].<ref>{{Citation|title=淡出2年歌手張宇展開斜槓人生？「希塔療癒」導師ING！藉靈修探索超自然宇宙能量？張宇陶晶瑩︱EP25 完整版 #陶口秀︱每週三 2000 上線|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyWGNkWpo2Q |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/jyWGNkWpo2Q |archive-date=2021-12-15 |url-status=live|language=en|access-date=2021-04-23}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
