Sandy Lam is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on April 26, 1966 in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong on 26 April 1966, as the oldest of three children. Sandy Lam spent her early childhood living in North Point. Music was always an important element for the Lam family. Her father, who emigrated from Shanghai to Hong Kong, was a professional Erhu musician in the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and her mother was a performer in the Yue opera in local performances.
Sandy has recorded not just for CBS Sony Records in 1980s as well as in the 1980s with Warner Music, Rock Records, Virgin Records, Capitol Records, EMI Music, and, most recently, Universal Music.
At this make-or-break stage of her career, it was the City Rhythm “都市觸覺” series that really launched her into the big leagues, where she has remained ever since. A trilogy of records released between 1988 and 1990, City Rhythm gave Hong Kongers a taste of her true musical and conceptual capabilities, going platinum in the process. Serving as Executive Producer, the albums were filled with glossy dance-pop bops and ballads originally recorded by Western artists. City Rhythm was the first successful execution of a concept record in Cantopop. Lyrically daring, the series was profoundly feminist; representing the female experience of life and love on the busy Hong Kong streets, and embodied a woman who refused to compromise her aims and desires, with each song taking on a specific aspect of life.
In 1991, Sandy worked with Singaporean songwriter Dick Lee and released the coming-of-age album Wildflower “野花”. With wildflowers being a metaphorical representation of the mental journey of a modern Asian woman, Wildflower was a stunning collection of contemporary east-meets-west music. Marrying traditional themes and western jazz influences, Wildflower not only made people recognize the versatility and artistic talent of Sandy, but initiated the ‘Unplugged’ craze of early 90s Cantonese music – the creation of authentic and raw musical products that connected with the listener more intimately. Although reception was at first lukewarm, it was eventually recognized as a pioneering work in the Cantonese musical canon, and is now rightly regarded as one of the most important and culturally defining albums of Cantopop.
The songs were fascinating: Sandy covered the songs of artists like Martika or Taylor Dayne. She was positioned as a young and fresh artist. Through this collection, Sandy was not only in a position to capture the glamour and glitz of the 1980s Hong Kong and golden-era Cantopop and showcasing the youthful spirit and determination. A set of remix records established her status as Hong Kong’s dance queen.
