Early life

[edit]

Sammi Cheng was previously named Twinnie Cheng.[7] Contrary to popular belief, "Twiny" is not her birth name. The name came about when Sammi was still in school and her English Language teacher wanted everyone in class to have an English name. When Sammi turned to her sister for help, her sister came up with the name "Twiny". The name was later changed to "Sammi" as "Sammi" sounds a little like "Sau Man". Cheng received her education at SKH St. Peter's Primary School and Tang Shiu Kin Victoria Government Secondary School.[8]

She has three sisters and one brother. Two of her sisters are twins.[citation needed]

Career

[edit]

Music

[edit]

Sammi Cheng entered the entertainment industry at the age of 16 through the New Talent Singing Awards in 1988.[9][10] Although she came in third in the competition, the sponsoring record company Capital Artists saw her potential and offered her a recording contract. Cheng at the time was still in school, and had to balance her studies with her rising singing career. In December 1988, Sammi Cheng and David Lui recorded two songs—"Cherish This Moment" (珍惜這一刻) and "Chrysanthemum Tears" (菊花淚)—for the television drama series Deadly Secret.Sammi released 3 full-length studio albums prior to leaving school: "Sammi", "Holiday" and "Never Too Late".[11] One of her first major awards was the 1990 RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards, where she was recognized as a best new prospect.[12]

1990–1992: Eponymous debut album, Holiday and Never Too Late

[edit]

In September 1990, Sammi Cheng released her debut album, Sammi, which sold 30,000 copies in Hong Kong —a respectable achievement for a newcomer. The lead single was "Longing" (思念), followed by "Loving You Still" (仍是你) as the second single. The third single was "Fascination" (迷情). The fourth single, "Disillusion" (幻滅)—a cover of the English song "A Long and Lasting Love"—and The final single was "Parting" (離別). As a newcomer under Capital Artists, Cheng did not receive a budget from the label to produce music videos, so the music videos for the first three singles were produced by a television station instead.

On 18 June 1991, Sammi Cheng released her second studio album, Holiday. By this time, Cheng's vocal abilities had improved significantly, allowing her to handle several technically challenging songs with ease. The album was noted for its consistent style and distinctive image, which helped her gain moderate popularity for a period. The lead single, "The Season That Never Came " (不來的季節), topped two major music charts in Hong Kong. The second single, "Valentino," was featured as a recommended song on the TV program "Jade Solid Gold." The third and fourth singles were "Friends" and "Love Lost in Vienna " (情斷維也納), respectively. Her appearance in the television drama "A Life of His Own" (浪族闊少爺) boosted album sales, earning the album platinum certification with total sales reaching 70,000 copies in Hong Kong.[13] Cheng's rising popularity in Hong Kong also brought her to the attention of Taiwanese audiences, with journalist Mai Ruoyu from Min Sheng Daily News praising her outstanding performance and noting that her new album reached number one on the charts. Cheng was described as a promising new star among leading female artists.[14] The Cantonese album was also released in Taiwan, giving local fans an introduction to her music. Additionally, the album received positive reviews from Singaporean media, who commended her vocal quality, emotional delivery, and versatility, highlighting her ability to stand out among young newcomers.[15]

In July 1992, Sammi Cheng released her third studio album, Never Too Late. For this album, Cheng departed from her previous youthful image by adopting a short hairstyle and more mature fashion, fully showcasing the charm of a sophisticated young woman.[16] Due to its more sophisticated style, the singles from the album did not achieve the same chart success as those from her previous release, but the album still surpassed 60,000 copies and achieved platinum certification in Hong Kong.[17] In addition, Cheng emerged as the most promising young female singer of her generation, widely regarded as a top contender to become the next diva of the Hong Kong music industry,[18] and received the "Best Youthful Female Artist" award at Metro Radio’s “Beauty Awards” for this album,[19] The lead single was "Say U'll Be Mine." The second single was "Doll's View of the World" (娃娃看天下), followed by the third single, "I Don't Want to Leave Tonight" (這夜我不願離開). The fourth single was "2gether," the theme song for the TVB Japanese drama adaptation "Rookie Cops" (新紮俏警花), and the fifth single was "If You Love Me" (如愛我), an insert song for the drama File of Justice (壹號皇庭).

1993–1994: Sammi Cheng's Happy Maze, Big Revenge,Ten Commandments,Time, Place, Person and Sammi

[edit]

Sammi Cheng capitalized on the attention received from her duet with artist Andy Hui, "Do you really have me in your heart?" (其實你心裡有沒有我), winning the 1993 Jade Solid Gold Top 10 Awards with that song.[20] Cheng then went through a transformation, dying her hair orange, changing her style.[11] Her 4th studio album "Sammi's Happy Maze" (鄭秀文的快樂迷宮) was also released, which include the hit single "Chotto Matte" (Chotto 等等), meaning 'wait a moment' in Japanese.[11] Her new image fitted well with the new single, which was a remake of a Japanese song by Maki Ohguro. The success helped Sammi and boosted her singing career.[11] In 1994 she continued to capitalize on her wild, new image. Her first album of that year was "Big Revenge" (大報復). The album included the hit "Ding Dong" (叮噹), which became one of Sammi's signature songs. But with her new fame also came a lot of backlash from the media. Critics argued that Sammi purposely westernized her Cantonese. Instead of saying "Ding Dong", Sammi pronounced it as "Deen Dong".[11] Despite the criticism, the song was one of the most popular dance songs of that year. In 1994 the racy and controversial cut of "Ten Commandments" (十誡) was banned from the radio for a few days after its initial airplay of the track including tiny bits of what can be recognized as pornography soundtrack.[11] In 1995 Cheng disappeared from the public eye for nearly half a year.[11] Later that year, it was revealed that Warner Music Group had signed her. She let her hair color return to black and temporarily abandoned the wild image she used to have.[11]

1995–1996:After ,Can't Let You Go, Never Want to Give You Up ,Worth It and Passion

[edit]

In late 1994, Cheng chose not to renew her contract with Capital Artists, following an eight-month period of inactivity during which the label placed her career on hold. After completing this hiatus, she released After (其後) on 25 August 1995, [21]her final album under Capital Artists. To promote the album, the label organized a public autograph session and placed promotional advertisements in Apple Daily. However, due to Cheng’s swift transition to Warner Music shortly after the album’s release, the promotional period was notably brief. The album’s experimental nature and less commercial sound also contributed to its modest initial sales performance. Nevertheless, following her signing with Warner Music and subsequent resurgence in popularity, the album later attracted renewed commercial interest.

In September 1995, Cheng officially signed with Warner Music Group . One month after Cheng’s departure from Capital Artists,Capital Artists’ general manager Ng Yu , noting her renewed surge in popularity, released a compilation album titled It's time:18 Songs, Old and New (是時候新舊對照18首) on 26 October 1995.[22] Initially priced at HK$88, the album contained two previously unreleased tracks. The release was met with strong response, debuting at number one on the IFPI Top 10 Albums Sales Chart and ultimately accumulating sales surpassing double platinum. In November 1996, Capital Artists’ general manager Ng Yu acknowledged that although Cheng had already left Capital Artists,her compilations had generated substantial revenue. [23]

On 18 November of the same year, she released her first Cantonese-language studio album under Warner Music Group, "Can't Let You Go" (捨不得你).[24] The album was widely regarded by media and industry observers as marking Cheng’s rise to diva status in the Hong Kong music scene. It topped the IFPI (Hong Kong Group) Top 10 Album Sales Chart and was officially certified triple platinum by IFPI (Hong Kong Group) and the Hong Kong Record Merchants Association on 22 November 1996, with total sales reaching 175,000 copies. It became one of the best-selling albums in the Hong Kong market that year.[25][26] "Hey! Man!" (男仕今天你很好) was chosen as the album's lead single, topping four major charts.The second single, "Can't Let You Go" (捨不得你) was featured in a Panasonic portable CD player television commercial, in which Cheng also starred. It likewise reached No. 1 across four major broadcast charts and topped the karaoke chart in Hong Kong for 16 consecutive weeks,[27]leading to her being dubbed the Karaoke Queen by fans and media. [28]The third single was “I Love You Fall Ever” (秋冬愛的故事), followed by the fourth single, "The Elegy of Love" (愛的輓歌), which served as a theme song for the television drama Detective Investigation Files II. The fifth single was “A Glass of Tequila” (Tequila一杯). On 19 December of the same year, Warner Music released Cheng’s first Remix EP, Can't Let You Go (Remix) (捨不得你 Remix), to celebrate the album’s commercial success. It featured newly recorded remix versions as well as her first Mandarin-language song, Can't Let You Go (Mandarin Version) (捨不得你(國語版)). It had already been included in the Southeast Asia edition of Can't Let You Go (捨不得你), released in November, and received a strong market response, quickly becoming a popular song at karaoke bars in Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan.[29] This significantly boosted Cheng’s recognition in those countries, paving the way for her expansion into the Mandarin pop market the following year.[30]

On 29 May 1996, Sammi Cheng released her second Cantonese-language studio album under Warner Music Group," Never Want to Give You Up"(放不低）.[31] It debuted at number one on IFPI (Hong Kong Group) Top 10 Album Sales Chart , maintained that position for one week[32] and was officially certified triple platinum by IFPI (Hong Kong Group) and the Hong Kong Record Merchants Association on 22 November 1996, with total sales reaching 175,000 copies.[33]making it the best-selling Cantonese album by a female artist that year.The album was also twice shortlisted for Taiwan’s Golden Melody Dragon Tiger Chart, appearing in the fourth and fifth weeks of the autumn season,[34] with sales in Taiwan reaching 30,000 copies.“Beware of Woman” (小心女人) was chosen as the album's lead single, topping four major charts.it immediately became a major hit in Hong Kong, with Cheng’s trendy styling for the song sparking widespread discussion and later inspiring similar looks among other artists.

Both tracks became popular hits, with “Owe You Nothing” also released as the album’s third single, reaching number one on one major chart, topping karaoke chart for eight consecutive weeks.[36] On 24 June 1996, to celebrate the album’s rapid achievement of double platinum certification within two weeks, Cheng released her second Remix EP, Beware of Woman Kara EP Remix (小心女人卡拉EP Remix).

Artistry

[edit]

Influences

[edit]
Cheng's major influences include Air Supply (left) and Madonna (right).

In her early interviews, Cheng expressed a fondness for the soft rock ballads of Air Supply, noting that she preferred melodic pop over heavier rock styles, which she considered too noisy. [82]This preference shaped her inclination towards ballads and accessible pop songs in the early stages of her career.

Cheng has acknowledged that her stage performances were influenced by Madonna, particularly in terms of bold fashion choices and choreography. At her first solo concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in 1996, Cheng wore a cone‑shaped bra top inspired by Madonna’s 1990 stage costume, reflecting her willingness to experiment with provocative and avant‑garde imagery.[83]

Musical style

[edit]

Cheng’s musical style has been described by critics as commercial, ranging from ballads to dance tracks, while also incorporating some avant‑garde elements.[84] She even incorporated hip-hop, rap, techno, rhythm 'n' blues, bossa nova and jazz into her songs,When Cantopop started losing its lustre in the late 1990s.[85]

Although primarily known for commercial stuff, Cheng also experimented with heavier rock styles. In 2019, she released a single titled ”Power of Love”, which incorporated elements of electronic metal rock.[86] However, its reception was less prominent compared to her contemporaneous hit “We Grew This Way” (我們都是這樣長大的), reflecting audiences’ stronger preference for mainstream pop.

During the early 1990s, Cheng gained recognition as a balladeer with her first chart-topping song "The Season That Never Came (不來的季節)", [87][88]and also established herself in dance-pop with the success of "Ding-Dong (叮噹)".

In late 1995, Cheng was dubbed by media as the ‘Karaoke Queen’[89]after her song "Can’t Let You Go (捨不得你)" topped Hong Kong’s karaoke chart for 16 consecutive weeks.[90]In late 2000, she was officially dubbed by Taiwanese media as the ‘Karaoke Queen’ for her karaoke-friendly Mandarin hits such as "Out Bound (出界)", "Never Enough (永遠都不夠)", and "If I were you (如果我是你)".[91] Consequently, in November 2001, Warner Music Taiwan released a video album Sammi Karaoke Chart-Topping Hits compiling all of Cheng’s Mandarin songs that had reached number one on the karaoke chart between 1996 and 2000.”

After staging 16 consecutive concerts at the Hong Kong Coliseum under the title Sammi Star Show 97, Cheng was in late 1997 dubbed by Singaporean media as the ‘Avant‑Garde Dance‑song Queen’ following her adoption of bold stage costumes, experimental choreography, and a repertoire that emphasized dance‑pop innovation.[92]

Voice and timbre

[edit]

In late 1997, Singaporean media described Cheng as having “rich sultriness in an alto voice packed with emotion and power.” [93]

Public Image and Style

[edit]

Sammi Cheng is widely regarded as a fashion icon[94][95] and is known for her highly versatile image. She was the first female singer in Hong Kong to dye her hair completely blonde, as well as the first to adopt a fully red hairstyle. Cheng is recognized for her bold and distinctive album covers and concert looks, notably popularizing the "Nike eyebrow" style at her first concert, titled "Sammi's X-Dimension Concert," in 1996.

In 2003 Cheng performed at the 1:99 Concert to raise funds for SARS affected families.[99] She had participated in the 2008 Chinese winter storm support effort where many artists including Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Kelly Chen, etc. recorded a song called "Warmth in the Snow" in support of those effected by the storm. She was also a participant of the Artistes 512 Fund Raising Campaign.[100] In April 2008, she participated in the activities of World Vision. She traveled to Laos with fellow singer Gigi Leung, also a World Vision volunteer, to experience for themselves the struggles of the local people and children.[101] They also visited the local children there to find out more on their situation where food and supplies are lacking. When Sammi returned to Hong Kong, she and Leung were invited to a radio program 903 to talk about the experience; she responded by announcing she had "adopted" 24 children.
