Hins Cheung King-hin

I was born in 1980 in Guangzhou to a family of three.

My father is a government official. From him, I learned to be concerned about social issues. My mother, thanks to her traumatic childhood, can easily come up with the worst-case scenario for everything.

My albums have been doing better ever since I stopped writing my own songs.

Ending the day with only a “thank you” is really hard. My prayers usually consist of a wish list I want God to deliver.

A career is like insurance – you pay, pay, pay without getting anything back for a long time.

If my song “Ardently Love” came out a few years earlier, people would have thought, “Why is that pathetic virgin singing about sex?”

I’ve been a reporter and a radio show host. This experience taught me that the only way to stop a reporter from making stuff up is to say something funny enough to read.
