How did you start your showbiz career? Why did you choose singing? Like every newcomer, I started by winning a singing competition. I signed for Enjoy Yourselves Tonight, which gave me a chance to sing and act. Then Kam Kwok-leung came up to me with the script for Teens. I was facing a dilemma because I also wanted to work for Cathay Pacific. I love to fly and wanted to join its cabin crew.
Anyway, I accepted Kam's offer and the series became a huge success. I was on a roll then and movie roles and recording contracts followed. Of course, in those days, royalties were nothing like today. But it was still good money.
I chose singing because I love to sing. It's in my blood. My father was a musician. He played seven instruments and spoke six languages. He was like the Koo Ka-fai of Macau. When I was a child, he led me on to the stage and I sang my first song, You Are My Sunshine.
What are your hobbies and interests? I am a movie fan. I like comedies. I also like listening to music, especially jazz, and I love musicals. I've practically seen every one of them.
I love to travel. Last year, I did a world trip that covered Singapore, Prague, Norway, Paris, London, New York and Los Angeles. You see and learn so much by travelling. I appreciate different cultures and I'm interested in human behaviour.
I also love fragrances. Aromatic therapy really works, and I bring all these fragrances to the studio because they make the environment refreshing and relaxing.
