# Jace Chan

Jace Chan Hoi Wing (Chinese: 陳凱詠; pinyin: chén kǎiyǒng; Cantonese Yale: chàn hóiwihng) is a singer and actress from Hong Kong. Her acting debut was a supporting role in the 2017 TV series Margaret & David - Ex (Chinese: 瑪嘉烈與大衛系列 前度) made by ViuTV. She debuted in the music industry in 2019 and won Metro Radio's New Artist Award. Her song "Quarantine" (Chinese: 隔離) won her an additional award.

## Biography

When Chan graduated from secondary school, she decided to make a living out of her interest in music. After she graduated from Hong Kong Baptist University, she worked as a dance teacher and anchor for Billboard China. She was chosen by Universal Music Hong Kong to be the anchor for their new web magazine, UMWebzine, interviewing artists on their behalf. She interviewed Shawn Mendes, Niall Horan, 5 Seconds of Summer, LANY, Jonas Blue, and more. She has also posted videos on her YouTube channel branded as JengJace. In 2018, she went on King Maker, a Hong Kong singing contest, assisting the stylist Mayao Ma.
She has dabbled in music production, uploading videos of herself covering different songs while performing with the music group Dusty Bottle. Universal Music Hong Kong noticed her videos and signed her to their label. In 2019, she became one of the "Fabulous Four", becoming the new singer of that year. She released 3 songs that year: Sudden Urge (Chinese: 想突然), a R&B song featuring LMF and 24Herbs, Trying for Normalcy (Chinese: 想正常), a heavier song, describing the conflicts in later stages of a relationship, and Speak (Chinese: 講) whose demo was recorded in Paris.
In 2020, Chan collaborated with Alex Fung to compose the melody of the song Born to be in Second Place (Chinese: 天生二品) alongside Hirsk, a Hong Kong Composer. The song was a success, managing to get to the top of the Music Charts of ViuTV, Commercial Radio, Metro Radio and RTHK. In that August, she released a love song, Quarantine (Chinese: "隔離"), collaborating with Alex Fung again. Chan's friends, Z. Koo and Chung Suet Ying were the main actors in the music video. The song was another success, topping the charts on iTunes, MusicOne, and KKBOX. This song also became one of the 10 best songs recommended by Metro Radio. A duet version with the indie singer Terence Lam was also made.
In 2021, Chan reused the crew and invited Terence Lam to be a co-composer of the song The Virtual Man & ME (Chinese: 虛擬人與我), a song about an online relationship. She released her first album, Processing, on May 14, 2021, and the album reached the golden award sales (15,000 copies sold) on its first day out. Songs from the album were listened to approximately 2 million times on MOOV. The album contained all Chan's previous songs as well as a new song, "I Wish," which expressed Chan's hope for relieving stress and doing things her audience likes without being restricted. It became the top song on the charts of RTHK, Commercial Radio, TVB and ViuTV. Chan has also invited the vocal of bands Chochukmo and R.O.O.T, Jan Curious to record a Poolside Version. In July, Chan was chosen by Spotify to be the Hong Kong representative for their July EQUAL Global Music Program and her portrait was on the screen of New York Times Square. On August 20, Chan held her first concert under the sponsorship of American Express, though the way its tickets were sold led to disputes in the music community.
In 2022 Chan released a R&B song "Long D" composed by Jay Fung and reenacted many classic old Hong Kong movie scenes in its music video. She sung in 21 shows of the musical Bye-Bye Your Tale in August that year. Due to differences with the record label, Chan took a break from her career for over a year until her contract finally ended in mid-2023.
In October 2023 Chan released her first self-financed extended play, HATCHING. She composed the music and wrote the lyrics for all 5 songs in the EP, marking her debut as an independent musician and showcasing her unique musical style to the public.
In 2024, she co-headlined the Moov Live and 903 Music is Live concerts, and made a guest performance at Sammi Cheng's concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. At the 2024 Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation, Chan won the Silver Prize for Best Female Singer and "I'm Tired" was awarded the second place of the Top 10 Songs of the Year.
