Thereafter, he was approached and asked if he would sign up with a company as a backup singer (backing vocalist to harmonize with the lead vocalist), which Nicholas subsequently ignored.
He returned to Malaysia without finishing his studies and participated in the singing competition "2002 Astro Talent Quest". Nicholas won first place with the song "Huang Hun" (黃昏), originally sung by Zhou Chuan Xiong. This led to Nicholas signing a contract in Taiwan with Music Street in 2003.
On June 18, 2004, he released his first album, "1st Choice Nicholas" (首選張棟樑). Music Street eventually merged with Warner Music. Play Music is a record label subsidiary of Singaporean company Musicstreet Pte Ltd. In 2006, Nicholas received the 2006 Hito Newcomer Award in Taiwan.
He also successfully completed his From Now On Concert Tour, covering stops in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia within the first half-year of 2008. The Malaysian government appointed Teo Penang's 'green ambassador' to spread awareness of environmental issues.
