Her career began as a part-time DJ at Commercial Radio Hong Kong in 1982, in which she got an unique nick name 611 (6+1+1=8, in Cantonese ‘8’ means being talkative and always questioning about gossips and other topics). Sandy joined SONY in 1983 and her debut in her Chinese name Lam Yik Lin was released in 1984. She rapidly became the most popular up-and-raising star. "Yik Lin", her third album released in 1987, reached double platinum and that's when her music career truly kicked off.
With heavy influences from Western music, Sandy’s music style started from cheesy Japanese teen pop to Light Jazz; and from there to R&B, Soul, or even Fusion. In fact, she is considered the only Hong Kong female singer with the best ad-libs. She has 27 full studio albums in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Japanese, and adding other EPs, live recordings, compilations and co-operations, there is more than 80 or more on the list.
Unlike many other singers in Hong Kong, audience recognizes Sandy as a true musician/performer, rather than an entertainer. You don’t find shocking make-up or extreme outfits from her; it is her pure voice which captured everyone’s heart. She rather spends her time producing an album instead of attending meaningless shows. Her fans admire her as who she is and the willingness to improve herself vocally, and such improvement is well-know in the industry like a miracle. In recent years, she is transforming herself: from singer to singer songwriter.
2005 marks the 20th anniversary of her music career. Being able to survive this long in Hong Kong entertainment scene is not an easy task, because of the high competition and people are being so forgetful. Looking back, it shouldn’t be a surprise after all, Sandy is the very first singer to blend in Jazz & R&B elements into Chinese music; she is one of the pioneers who marches into the Japanese music scene and the first singer to have two Chinese songs entering the Japan J-Wave Tokio Hot 100 music chart.
Moreover, she was the most successful Hong Kong singer to make it big in Taiwan by her first Mandarin release selling a record of 600,000 copies; she also participated in Asia’s first 47 days sold out Chinese musical "Snow Wolf Lake"; she was hand picked by Andrew Lloyd Webber to perform in The Music Of Andrew Lloyd Webber with Elaine Paige in Shanghai in 2001, and she was also picked to sing the Chinese version of Les Miserables’s theme song On My Own. A new kind of flower in Singapore is named after her name called Dendrobium Sandy.

林憶蓮 Lyrics
不會結束的故事 微風是黑夜的呼吸 把白晝吹得無蹤無跡 紛紛擾擾 那些喧嘩情緒 暫時得到甦醒 我還剩一點點想你 好像遠處微弱的聲音 如果可…
失蹤 她說她找不到能愛的人 所以寧願居無定所的過一生 從這個安靜的鎮 到下一個熱鬧的城 來去自由從來不等紅綠燈 酒吧裡頭喧嘩…
愛過我的每一天 誰的煙 讓我看不見你的臉 燭火太刺眼 有一種在撒謊的媚 想忘了我是誰 不顧一切與你纏綿 我的唇雖沉默 眼底說出一切 你愛…
沒有人抽煙 ＊～＊～＊～ ＊～＊～ ＊～ 我們遇見 我們纏綿 我們變得熟練 直到今天 一切沉澱 沒有人要看到愁眉苦臉 洗心革面 已經…
盼你在此 多盼望你在這裡 如果離開你 是最恰當的結局 後來的日子 也沒有機會說明 走在人群裡 或一個人看電影 寂寞的心情 也都只…
至少還有你 至少還有你 我怕來不及 我要抱著你 直到感覺你的皺紋 有了歲月的痕跡 直到肯定你是真的 直到失去力氣 為了你 我願意 …
飛的理由 如果這個時候 窗外有風 我就有了飛的理由 心中累積的悲傷和快樂 你懂了 所以我自由 你不懂 所以我墜落 如果這個時候 …
