grasshopper -lrb- band -rrb-

grasshopper is a hong kong cantopop boy group formed in 1985 .
the band consists of edmond chi-wai so -lrb- chinese ： 蘇志威 -rrb- , calvin yat-chi choy -lrb- chinese ： 蔡一智 -rrb- and remus yat-kit choy -lrb- chinese ： 蔡一傑 -rrb- .
calvin and remus are brothers and grew up with neighbour edmond in a poor neighbourhood in hong kong .
it was remus who was interested in dancing and singing at the beginning .
his mother was his dancing teacher .
in order to enter a talent competition , the 16-year-old remus enlisted calvin and edmond as his back-up dancers .
the act did not make it far in the competition but began to perform as a trio .
they later named themselves grasshopper inspired by their agility and favourite cocktail .
in 1985 , the trio auditioned in the hong kong new talent singing awards where anita mui was one of the judges and its first ever winner .
due to a black-out during the audition , anita began to chat with the trio .
soon after , they were invited to perform as back-up dancers/singers for anita mui .
she acted as their mentor and even visited them at their low cost houses in her limousine .
this created a big scene at the housing area .
the trio released their first album in february 1988 and continued to go on tour with anita mui .
in 2000 , edmond was approached by tvb to star in a series .
this started a period where the grasshopper members pursued their respective solo careers .
contrary to popular belief , the band never was dissolved .
they stopped singing and focused on acting for a few years , but returned to music in 2005 when they opened a few successful concerts .
they are best known for their talent and their physical features .
the band currently hold concerts all over the world including in las vegas .
edmond so has 2 daughters , yumi -lrb- born in 1999 -rrb- and ina -lrb- born in 2007 -rrb- , with his wife , former singer winnie lau siu wai .
the pairs met and began dating in the early 1990s and got married in 1998 .
this caused anger from fans of roger kwok as winnie was roger 's girlfriend at that time .
roger and edmond starred in a tvb series together in 2003 called the greed mask .
calvin choy has a daughter and a son , but also a stepdaughter gigi from his wife 's previous marriage , but his brother , remus choy , is still unmarried .
