Biography [edit]

In 2009, Alfred Hui joined “The Voice” singing contest organized by Television Broadcast Limited, which was a programme for selecting newly emerged young singers. During the contest, Alfred obtained “Award for the Highest Popularity”. Then, he became a contract-based artist of Television Broadcast Limited. In 2010, Alfred sang “My Left Is Also A Kind Of Love” (我的離開也是愛) as a theme song for a TVB evening film called “Gun Metal Grey” (刑警), and this song was the first-ever composition in Alfred’s singing career. In the following year, he obtained “New Singer Recommendable Award for Emerging Excellence” in “Jade Solid Gold Prize-Giving Ceremony 2010” organized by Television Broadcast Limited.

On 4 March 2011, Alfred Hui signed a contract with Stars Shine (星煥國際) as a Hong Kong male singer. On 28 June 2011, he issued his first personal CD-album called “A Trilogy of Departure” (出走三部曲). “Departure” (出走), a song from this CD-album, enabled him to obtain “New Singer Award” from “Champion Song From 903 Music Professional Recommendation” organized by Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Corporation Limited. On 16 August 2011, Alfred organized his first individual music concert, and he was regarded as a new singer who was capable to organize a concert within a short period of time after his career emergence. At the concert, Alfred announced that his CD-album was honoured as a “Golden Compact Disc”. His song, called “Ant” (螞蟻), has ever been selected by other singers for their performances, and these singers include William So and Jade Kwan Sum-yin . As his first CD-album received brilliant achievements, the Stars Shine (星煥國際) additionally issued a precious “CD + Live Plus DVD” version for the “A Trilogy of Departure” (出走三部曲) album on 20 October 2011.

With regards to his great reputation in “The Voice” and his remarkable music achievements, Alfred Hui further became an attractive idol among the young audiences. He obtained “The King of the Young Singer Award” in “The Four Major Music Media Prize-Giving Ceremony for the Hong Kong Pop Music Circuit” in 2011, “903 Music Gold Award for Young Singer” granted by Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Corporation Limited in 2011, “The 34th Ten Distinguished Chinese Golden Music Prize-Giving Concert” granted by Radio Television Hong Kong in 2011, and “The Gold Award for the Most Favorite New Male Singer” granted by Television Broadcast Limited in 2011. Excluding the RTHK, the rest of the three media channels consistently acknowledged Alfred with “Gold Awards for Young Singer”, and this was a glamorous result during the initial stage of his singing career.

Half a year later, Alfred Hui issued his second CD-album, called “Blue” (藍調), on 12 January 2012. This is a rarely found phenomenon, that a newly emerged young singer can issue three CD-albums within a short period of time. On 6 February 2012, the Stars Shine (星煥國際) announced in its New Year Gathering, that Alfred’s CD-album had reached a good saleability, which corresponded to the “Golden Compact Disc” standard.

Alfred will also be representing Hong Kong at the first ABU TV Song Festival 2012 which is scheduled to take place at the KBS Concert Hall, in Seoul, South Korea on 14 October 2012.[2][3]
