Sandy Lam was born in Hong Kong and began her career at the age of sixteen after getting a job as a D.J. for Commercial Radio Hong Kong. She began her singing career in 1984 when she was signed to CBS Sony. Her first single was "I Don't Know What the Love Is". Sandy Lam has had a varied career, recording not only with CBS Sony in the 1980s, but also Warner Music, Rock Records (Taiwan's largest independent label), Virgin Records, and now Capitol Music.
Sandy Lam rose to fame in Hong Kong in mid 80s with a string of up-tempo Japanese style songs. She then transformed herself into a serious, progressive artist with the ground breaking "City-Rhythm" R&B album series, capturing the essence of cosmopolitan lifestyle. In 1991, she released the ground breaking coming-of-age "Wildflower" album to raving reviews, and triggered an "unplug-fever" in Cantopop scene. "Wildflower" is considered as a one of the Cantonpop classic of all time.
Lam gained instant popularity in Taiwan since her debut Mandarin release "愛上一個不回家的人" (Home Again Without You) in 1991. In 1995, she teamed up with Jonathan Lee, known as Taiwan's music godfather, and released 4th Mandarin album Love, Sandy, which became one of the best seller of all time. Since then Sandy slowly stepped down from Hong Kong music scene and spent most of her time in Taiwan, China, and Japan exploring new opportunities.
Lam returned to the music scene with a mega hit single "至少還有你" (At Least I've Got You) from her first album with Virgin in 2000. It was on KTV Music Chart for 8 months. In December 2001, she released a Mandarin-language album entitled "Truly Sandy", which she co-wrote four songs. In the same year, Lam appeared as cast member of an Andrew Lloyd Webber concert ''Masterpiece'', which also featured West End and Broadway star Elaine Paige and China's all-time best-selling recording artist, American-Chinese Kris Phillips. This concert was sold out an audiences of over 17,700 people. [1]
Lam has won many awards in the course of her career, including Best Regional Performing Female Artist, Best Album, Best Female Vocalist, the Asia Pacific Most Outstanding Female Artist, and an honourable Music Award for her contributions to the music industry.
Sandy is now working on the 14th Cantonese album and it's set to release at the end of 2007.
