Fiona Fung

Browse piano sheets by Fiona Fung on Zen Virtual Piano. Fiona Fung is a singer and lyricist whose career began backstage in the workshop of Hong Kong composer Chan Kwong-wing. Friends introduced Fung to Chan when she was 16. Chan started a new studio called Click Music, and Fung joined it in 2000. She went on to produce more than 200 advertisement music pieces. Her start backstage at 16 and her total of more than 200 advertisement pieces may point to commercial music as a recurring part of her work. Fung recalls that Chan would make songs and ask her to sing the demos. Chan suggested that she try writing lyrics, and after the record company heard the demos it told her that her words were fine and used them. Because Fung worked behind the scenes at first and kept a low profile, even her Chinese name was little known. Her demo singing for Chan and her later debut album may hint at a voice that moved from studio sessions to her own records. In 2003, Fung was commissioned to sing the English theme song "Proud of You" for a real estate advertisement. Joey Yung performed a Cantonese rewrite called "My Pride" on her 2003 album, and it won critical acclaim. Japanese singer Fujita Emi (藤田惠美) also covered "Proud of You". "Proud of You" and "Shining Friends" were included in the album TV Magic, and Fung also wrote and sang "Forever Friends", which appears on the album True Colors. The record company's use of her demo words and her writing and singing of "Forever Friends" may be read as showing Fung working as a lyricist as well as a singer. Fung decided in 2007 to move from behind the scenes to the front, and in 2008 she joined SONY BMG under the stage name 馮曦妤. She debuted with her first personal album, A Little Love, and released her second album, Sweet Melody, in 2010. In 2008 Fung received an award for new female artists at the Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards Presentation. Her single "如果‧陽光" won Best Commercial Song at the 15th Annual Most Popular TV Commercial Awards, held by Asia Television. It is tempting to read her new-artist award and her Best Commercial Song win as covering both her own releases and her advertising songs.
