Show started playing drums at the tender age of 3 and performed onstage with his parents as a child. He won a silver award at a singing contest when he was only 7. Show joined the '4 Heavenly Kings imitation concert' in 1995 and managed to clinch 1st place. In 1996, 'Four Heavenly Kings' debuted and their 1st album was released. The group was active in the following years before breaking up in 1998. In the same year, Show joined another group named 'ROMEO' and was active in it until year 2000. In 2003, Show launched his solo debut and released his 1st album 'Show Time' and has since worked on a plethora of genres includinghip hop, R&B, and ballads, as well as collaborations with stars like Jolin Tsai, Jay Chou,and Vivian Hsu.

At a later part of the same year, Show held his 1st concert at Taipei Arena.
2006: SPESHOW
After one full year, Show finally released the album 'SPESHOW' on November 17, 2006. Show decided to titled this album 'SPESHOW" because this was his fourth album with his name included. This was a play on the words "special" and his name "Show". This album would certainly be special because there were many new experiences for both Show and his fans. For the first time, he sang a full English song with Kumi Koda and he also collaborated with the English singer: Simon Webbe. Show also tried his hand at composing a song.This album was so popular that within three months, four different version of the original copy were created with few additional bonus songs.In this album, Show created his own version on one of the song by Daniel Bedingfield's 'James Dean (I Wanna Know).' Show's version of this song's name is 'The Dance Gate,' translated from the Chinese name.
In this album, Show has sang many affectionate and love songs, inviting actress Ariel Lin(MV Good Friend) and good friend Koda Kumi (Feat Twinkle) to starred with him in few of his music videos. This was his first attempt to sing an English song, something that was difficult for him. He admitted that he spent many hours in trying to pronounce an English word.
Over 400,000 copies of SPESHOW were sold within a few weeks of its release.
2007
In June 2007, Show moved from Avex Trax to EMI Capitol Records. EMI Capitol Records plans to send Show abroad to countries such as New York,London and Tokyo to learn more advanced dancing.

2008
Show released his first concert live DVD 'Show On Cruel Stage' on Jul. 11, 2008 which topped the G-music charts three weeks in a row. One of the most popular parts of the DVD features Show's mother appearing on stage, moving him to tears as he hugged her and sang 幾分 to much support from emotional fans.
Show's 6th album, "Trendy Man" was released on Dec. 26, 2008, the same day as Wang Leehom's album. Controversy erupted when Wang Leehom's record company Sony accused Show Luo's record company of buying the charts and inflating sales figures. S.H.E. and Fahrenheit's company joined in. The dispute got bigger when prominent popstars like Jay Chou, A-Mei, Mayday, Fahrenheit backed LeeHom while several TV hosts like Jacky Wu showed their support for Show Luo, (although Jacky said he personally bought the charts for a lesser known singer friend of his years ago).

He used to adopt a persona called 驚驚 "Gia Gia," which is Show donning a cap and glasses, telling lame jokes at the end of the show. Show "Xiao Gui"and "Xiao Zhong" present as a group "Dan Fei Bi Jiao Hong" in the show, which means debuted artist developed better than group.
