Joey Yung (born on June 16, 1980) is a popular female Cantopop singer and actress from Hong Kong. Born in Hong Kong, she loves her parents and her younger brother, Samuel.
In 1995 at the young age of 15, she was participating in many singing contests, including the Big Echo Karaoke Singing Contest, in which she was given the opportunity to be an artist of Go East Entertainment. However, her talent did not win the recognition of the company that ended the contract with her soon after her only song produced by Go East was recorded.
Afterwards, she continued with school while also working as a clerk and helping her mother in managing the business of a fashion boutique. She was later introduced to Golden Pony Records, but not long after she joined the company, it withdrew its business in Hong Kong. Her singing career was once again terminated. A couple of years after, she followed Roman Tam, the godfather of Canto-pop, to learn singing.
