Jade Kwan Biography

Jade Kwan is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 31, 1979 in Hong Kong, People's Republic of China. Kwan was born in Hong Kong on July 31, 1979. She has an older brother. After her parents’ divorce when she was eight years old, she immigrated with her mother and brother to British Columbia, Canada in 1990. Her mother returned to Hong Kong after a few years for work. Feeling uncomfortable in a new environment, Kwan had stated that she had engaged in smoking, underage drinking, and skipped school when she was twelve years old. She had also contemplated suicide when her first boyfriend broke up with her. She was admitted to University of British Columbia for studies in pharmaceutical science.

She returned to Hong Kong hoping to pursue a career in singing, eventually landing a 10-year deal with BMA Records. Kwan did not officially debut until 2002, stating that for three years she did not have jobs, instead spent time learning music theory and how to play the tenor sax and violin. She relied on her mother for financial support, stating “the amount of money my mother invested in me really can’t be calculated, it must be more than six figures.”

In efforts to promote Kwan for her concert, BMA Records gave Cable TV Hong Kong footage of Kwan’s rehearsal in Japan, along with Cantonese interview footage. This sparked controversy with TVB, as the act was considered a breach of contract. Subsequently, all artistes under BMA Records management were banned from appearing on TVB programmes, which at the time was considered an important medium. Jade made a public apology, stating, “I am a TVB contract artiste, perhaps the company [BMA Records] was negligent… I hope TVB will be lenient”. Kwan did not return to TVB music shows until June 2004. She released her first compilation album Jade Birthday Kit on August 18, 2004.

More controversy ensued when an internet rumour spread in November 2004, known as “My Sister Got Fired” (家姐被炒潮文), in which Kwan supposedly gotten a retail sales representative fired. Kwan repeatedly stated the story was false; however, her popularity decreased significantly. It also earned her the nickname “Sister Kwan”. The controversy greatly overshadowed the release on her fifth studio album , The 5th Element, which was released January 7, 2005.
