The year 2023 was one of self-discovery for Hong Kong singer-songwriter Moon Tang.
“I released an EP [last] year and I worked with a lot of different producers to experiment with partnerships and creative styles,” says the YouTube sensation. “I’ve learned to embrace my sensibility and vulnerability to create more music.”
Tang was part of a movement in Hong Kong that took root when an entertainment-starved population turned to the video platform to get in touch with up-and-coming local artists. She made a big splash after covering Mavis Hee’s 1997 hit “Qing Cheng” for the short film Hong Kong Neon Lights, gaining a million views within six months.
She has signed with Warner Music Asia, and her song “Lately” was listed in the top three songs on Commercial Radio’s Quote Chart for 2022. Tang’s duet with R&B singer Gareth T, “Honest”, clocked up more than 10 million streams across platforms such as YouTube and Spotify.
