Ronald Cheng Chung-Kei was born on March 9, 1972. His father is Pan-Asian music industry bigwig Norman Cheng, the current chairperson and CEO of EMI, and formerly of the Asia Pacific division of Polygram and then Universal Music. Originally intending to work behind the scenes as a composer and record producer, Cheng did odd jobs at his father’s company—which included doing back-up vocals for the likes of Alan Tam and Priscilla Chan—during summers as a youth. Around 1995 he went with Jacky Cheung to Los Angeles and briefly took music lessons from famed vocal coach Joel Ewing. The lessons were apparently effective, as producers started taking notice of Cheng’s voice and he was signed to a recording contract soon thereafter. Cheng first shot to popularity in Taiwan before returning home and enjoying some success in Hong Kong. However, his singing career went into a lull from 2000-2003 due to the infamous “air rage incident” (more on this later) and has only recently rebounded.
Sammy Leung Tsz Kin (Chinese : 森美/梁志健) (born December 3, 1973) is a popular DJ/MC/pop singer/actor in Hong Kong’s Commercial Radio.
Sammy Leung tried out for being a DJ in Commercial Radio when he was in the New Asia College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. At that time, he was working part-time. However Sammy became a DJ and took the name Kelvin at first. Then he used his own English name into Chinese translation as his DJ name. From that day, he was called Sammy.
A few years later in his DJ career, he was paired with Kitty Yuen Siu Yi and continue their partnership till today.
One of Sammy’s show that is without Siu Yi is Sammy Moving that includes the members Leo Chim, Ah So, Marco, and recently joined Seven Chan.
Sammy was reprimanded recently, because his radio show organized an online poll on “The female artist whom you most want to harass”. Although the majority of Hong Kong did not agree with the punlishment he has gotten, he was still “frozen” for 2 months, during which he could not take up any paid jobs but instead had to attend to classes on media ethics.
But after the two months, he and Kitty were even more popular than before because their fans, who apprieciated what they had done to face the obstacles, were getting more and more. They also played a stage show called Big Nose. They claimed that they learned many stuff from the “mistake” they had maken, and they also gained many friendship and happiness from their true friends and family.
Female lead singer of the eighties band The Photos. The Photos were originally a punk band named Satans Rats which formed in Evesham, Worcestershire in 1977. In 1979 Wendy Wu took over as singer. The band released a successful self titled album and number of singles from it, including “I’m so attractive” and “Barbarellas” (a Birmingham nightclub). Further popularity and commercial success would surely have come their way but a scheduled appearance on BBC’s “Top of the Pops” was cancelled due to industrial action and a second album “Crystal Tips and Mighty Mice” was never released. Wendy Wu went on to release some forgettable solo singles and joined “Steve Strange” to form “Strange Cruise” in 1986.

She grew up in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province.
