In 1977, he co-founded the male vocal quartet Xiang Yin Si Chong Chang (乡音四重唱), which held its first concert and released its debut album in 1978. The group disbanded in 1983, after which Teng pursued a career as a show host.
Inspired by the American TV program "The Ed Sullivan Show", Teng left Taiwan’s entertainment scene in 2000 to study ventriloquism abroad, becoming Taiwan's first ventriloquist artist. He initially studied French and later Japanese with instructor Sugiyama Yuki (杉山由紀) to deepen his craft.
After returning to Taiwan in May 2004 for medical treatment following an asthma attack, Teng faced extended periods of unemployment. He volunteered alongside veteran artists such as Sun Yue (孫越) at various institutions, including prisons, nursing homes, and hospitals.
Teng married color energy expert He Pei Qi (何沛騏) on June 25, 2015.
His younger brother, Teng Chih Hao (鄧志浩), is the lead singer of Xiang Yin Si Chong Chang (乡音四重唱) and the founder of Jiou Ge Children’s Theater (九歌兒童劇團).
