She's an anomaly in the local music scene - a singer-songwriter who straddles the divide between folk and pop and is rarely seen without her guitar.
Ahy (pronounced Ah-Y) Choi Man-ka is finally launching her debut EP, Homemade - a mixture of Putonghua and Cantonese songs - accompanied by three music videos, and entering the spotlight after years of recording DIY demos and putting on impromptu performances wherever she could.
She has a slinky, elegant voice that glides over thoughtful melodies teased out of her acoustic guitar and a vast array of subtle sounds and instruments.
The first-year Polytechnic University student draws artistic inspiration from her life experiences. 'For me, the main purpose of making music is simply to satisfy myself,' says Ahy. 'When I come across something happy, I want to make music to express my happiness.
'Vice-versa, I'll make music to comfort myself when I'm sad or down. For the listeners, I hope my music can mean something to them personally, too.'
