A behind-the-scenes singer and lyricist for seven years, Fiona Fung Hei-yee has recently stepped into the public eye, fulfilling her dream of becoming a professional singer.
Having just released her second album, the 26-year-old is revelling in her new daily routine of photo shoots and interviews - tasks that she did not get to do before.
Fung embarked on her musical career 10 years ago, when a friend introduced her to veteran lyricist Comfort Chan Kwong-wing, who liked her sweet and clear voice. He began to commission her to help him with film scores and to sing backing vocals at concerts, often for famous performers like Joey Yung Cho-yee and Twins.
'I was thrilled that Chan thought my voice was nice,' she says. 'I've loved to sing since I was a child, but being a singer seemed somehow a far-fetched dream for me.'
But, after writing and singing more than 200 songs for advertisements, she began to become more confident.
'The more I did, the more passionate I became about music, and I decided to work full time as a musician,' she says, adding that her first job was as a vocal producer for DreamWorks Animation.
