Sammi Cheng is one of the most "in" singers in Hong Kong and is incredibly popular. Sammi Cheng started her singing career in 1988 during a singing contest held by TVB. At the time, she was 15 and her family didn't want her to join the contest; but, they didn't strongly oppose it either.


 

 
Her mother didn't think that Sammi would really win,
so she agreed to let her participate. Surprisingly, Sammi won 3rd prize. Capital Artist offered Sammi a singing contract at that time. Sammi had a double-status of a singer and a student at the same time. During the first few years, she postponed singing in order to finish her school studies. After graduating from secondary school, she became a
full time singer! Sammi has had hit songs like Chotto Matte and Ding Dong. But, she never really became popular until she joined Warner Music in 1995. She has been known to set fashion trends too. When Sammi started dying her hair different colors, a lot of people started to do the same...only in HK schools, this is not allowed! As well, it was not until Sammi started wearing different colored
sunglasses that fans started to do the same.
