Kay Tse (Traditional Chinese: 謝安琪 / Simplified Chinese: 谢安琪) (born March 13… Read Full Bio ↴Kay Tse (Traditional Chinese: 謝安琪 / Simplified Chinese: 谢安琪) (born March 13, 1977) is a Hong Kong pop singer. She was a newcomer to the music industry in 2005, and is known for her versatile vocal range and styles, including pop, alternative, rock, jazz, and soul. Since 2008, she has become one of the most popular and critically acclaimed female Hong Kong singers.
In 2002, whilst still a university student majoring in American Studies at the University of Hong Kong, Kay Tse entered a university singing competition and won First Prize. She also entered an inter-schools singing competition in 2003 and made the final five, impressing one of the judges so much that he offered her a professional contract with his small music label. At the time she was working as a piano teacher.
Tse's debut Cantonese album "Kay One" was released on May 6, 2005 to an unsuspecting Hong Kong public. The album includes 2 non-Cantonese songs, an English version of 《我歌…故我在》 ("The One and Only") and a Mandarin version of 《姿色份子》named "Plastic Roses" (《塑膠玫瑰》).
Initially, due to the dearth of love songs in her albums, Tse was not popular in the mainstream Cantopop market. Nevertheless, many music industry insiders have tipped her singing ability to have big potential (despite her plain looks) and regard her as one of a new breed of 'non-idol' singers who sell their singing ability rather than their looks.
Tse had several hits in 2005. These include the songs:
《姿色份子》, a fast catchy pop tune mocking the Asian dieting trend;
《我歌…故我在》, a slow ballad expressing a singer's feelings on the stage;
《臭男人》, a funky song that makes fun of different types of men;
《開卷快樂》, a fast Jazz song satirizing the tabloid magazines;
《跟我走》, an encouraging, grateful song accompanied by a touching music video to thank her loyal fans who like and follow her music even though she doesn't release many love songs to cater to the mainstream.
On January 1, 2006, Tse won the Bronze Award for CRHK 2005 Best Newcomer, along with Ivana Wong and Janice Vidal who won Silver and Gold respectively.
Despite not appearing in public for most of 2007 for maternal leave, Tse was still one of the top three female singers with the most airplay on the radio.
In 2008, 囍帖街 sung by Kay Tse became the undisputed Cantonese song of the year and has won almost every major award in several categories (including best song, best melody, best lyrics, and best album) for that year in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. Thus, Kay Tse also won the coveted Hong Kong Four Stations Media Award for being the artist who won the most awards in 2008. Consequently, her popularity rose sharply and she has since become one of the top female Hong Kong singers in just a few years.
In 2010 and 2013, Tse released Mandarin albums targeting mainland China and Taiwan markets. She is one of the few newcomers in the 21st century to successfully reach audiences outside of her native Hong Kong, and is now considered one of the top artists from China/Hong Kong region for both Mandarin and Cantonese songs. She was runner-up in a China national singing contest. She once represented China/HK in an Asia-wide concert that took place in South Korea.
Since 2006, Tse has won the CASH Golden Sail Music Awards for best female performance four times.

謝安琪 Lyrics
亡命之途 客满一秒 脚掣放开 超速飙车像竞赛 搭客尖叫 当作喝采 司机跟速度在恋爱 身边映像化开(迷离幻觉车厢覆盖) 时空扭转极精…
我愛茶餐廳 過去我 無目的方向 隨便高聲唱 從不怯場 若這天 我再唱 媚俗歌曲太平常 誰又稀罕傾聽 另一位偶像 相信可以能 給你弦…
臭男人 总之喜欢你 不须讲天理 我发觉爱你爱到我变态与死心塌地 想张开双臂 飞身箍紧你 再以铰剪脚把你升起 身体捆绑你 呼吸都不…
菲情歌 昨晚依稀的感觉梦到你 一起沙滩中嬉戏 差点可伸手将你全包庇 那钟声分开我与你 开始一天的工作像机器 照顾弃婴极疲惫 无边…
跟我走 大小演出都在场 你总高声供给我和应 儘管歌曲不炽热 太少讲关于恋爱的心声 慢板中板都擅长 你总一一高呼动听 夜深回看 身…
