G.E.M.'s mother and grandmother were professional opera singers, and under their guidance, G.E.M. grew up with the desire to pursue in singing and performing. She began writing music when she was 5 and when she was 10, she began entering singing competitions. She's also a very gifted pianist, having finished grade 8 when she was 13. When she was 14, G.E.M. entered the "Spice-It-Up" singing contest, which won her a recording contract with Hummingbird Music.

I've been her fan ever since I watched her sing and play "where did you go" live on TVB. Her voice is just so amazing and way better than many Hong Kong singers. <3

She has one of the better voices in the HK industry to me,
and her music is different.

"Where did you go" is just absolute love.
I have her EP at home and i've played that song so much.

although cantonese sounds weird to me in singing, (no offence)
her song 'where did you go' is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
her voice is BEAUTIFUL!!
talk about a powerful voice, she has it!!
i think her voice will take her far.
i think she controls her voice fairly well if not greatly!

I LOVE "Dang Yat Goh Ta" (did I spell this correctly?)! That's my favourite song from her and I feel like I'm the only one who thinks so, haha. I keep on smiling when she pets the panda head in the MV. I don't get why the person is wearing a panda head. O.o Could somebody explain the video a little more? I know no Cantonese whatsoever. ;_;

I've been waiting to read more information about this girl.
And I wanna hear her speak English. ohmy.gif

And holy crap, I am exactly one month older than her.

I'm glad to see more fans on soompi! This girl is not the best, but she's quite the power. She can control her voice fairly well, and her lives are done well. G.E.M. is like a younger HK version of Zhang Li Yin biggrin.gif

anyone have more info on her background?

I think the most of what we know about her is written on her official website. I'll try to find more info on her when I have the time D:

I don't know what's with the panda, but the song is about someone trying to express her feelings to a boy. Something like that o_o I don't know what's with the panda though LOL It was cute... her panda also shows up in "Where Did U Go" smile.gif

Anyways, this is the live performance that made me become an instant supporter of G.E.M. biggrin.gif A live performance of "Lady Marmalade" with Teresa Carpio! An amazing strong performance! Her English wasn't so good, but with time and practice she can get to the top in no time =D
