For the subject of my project, I’ve chosen my favourite singer from Hong Kong – Joey Yung, as well as her group of fans.
Joey Yung, a 29-year-old female singer from Hong Kong. She loves singing very much when she was small. In 1995, she joined a singing contest held by a karaoke company and she won the contest finally, this made her to be a famous singer in Hong Kong now.
In 1999, she acceded her current entertaining company – Emperor Entertainment Group, with her first debut song “Unknown”, people are surprised why this young girl can express the song so differently. And this song has entered the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for more than 23 weeks, and still no one can break the record till now.
Joey’s first album named “Unknown”
In the following years, she has released many pop songs which were well-known and popular to the audiences. Especially, in 2003, one of her pop songs “My Pride” has made her got many prizes in many music award ceremonies, which also made her to be approved as the Music Queen of Hong Kong and made her career to another peak point.

In 2001, she had her first concert and she was the youngest singer which held a concert at Hong Kong Coliseum. She also held her concerts in 2003, 2005 and 2008 respectively. And the concert in 2008 made her go to another peak point, since too many people appreciated this concert too much, she held Part 2 in 2009. This is the 10th year that she acceded in the entertaining industry, within these 10 years, she has released more than 60 pieces of CD. In this shining 10th year, she also held her mini concert in Culture Centre in October 2009 for celebration. In addition, she has made 59 rounds of concert and travelled more than 10 countries for her concerts within these 10 years.
