Kary Ng at her second Hong Kong Coliseum concert, THE PRESENT

Kary Ng (born June 9, 1986) is a pop rock singer from Hong Kong. She started her music journey in 2002 as part of a girl group called Cookies. The members of Cookies later began their own solo careers in 2005, and the group is no longer together.

In 2004, Kary was also the lead singer for a rock band called Ping Pung. However, Ping Pung also broke up after releasing just one album that same year. Since 2005, Kary has been focusing on her career as a solo artist.

When she was younger, Kary studied at the Canadian International School of Hong Kong. She sometimes uses the nickname "Lady K" in her album titles, like "Lady K Live" and "Lady K: Transformation".

Kary Ng's Music Journey

Starting with Cookies

In 2002, when Kary was 15, she became one of nine members of the girl band Cookies. They were signed with a big record company called Gold Label of EMI Hong Kong. That same year, Kary became the youngest person to win a CRHK music award. Cookies won the "Best Group Newcomer – Bronze Award." Kary was 16 at the time, and she still holds this record. The youngest male singer to win a similar award was Nicholas Tse, who was 17 in 1999.

In 2003, the Cookies group became smaller, with only four members remaining. Kary was one of the four who stayed, along with Stephy Tang, Theresa Fu, and Miki Yeung.

Joining Ping Pung

In 2004, Kary also joined another rock band called Ping Pung. They released an album named "Love & Hate." Even while with Ping Pung, she remained a member of Cookies.

Solo Career and Awards

In 2006, Kary released her first solo album, "With A Boy like You." Her song "愛你變成恨你" won her first Top Ten Gold Songs award from Commercial Radio Hong Kong. At 20 years old, Kary was the youngest female singer to win this award from CRHK. She held this record until 2012.

In 2007, her second solo album, "In Control", won the "Media Award – Album" from the Four Station Joint Music Awards. These awards are based on how well songs do on the charts across all four Hong Kong music stations. Kary was the second female singer to ever receive this award. She is still the youngest female to win it, as she was only 21.

In January 2008, Kary held three shows for her first concert, "Kary Lady K Live 08." She also appeared as a special guest for Leo Ku's concert in Toronto, Canada, in May 2008.

In April 2008, Kary won "Best Original Film Song" at the 27th Hong Kong Film Awards for her song "逼得太緊." This song was the theme for the movie Love Is Not All Around. "逼得太緊" was very successful, winning Top Ten Songs of the Year awards from all four radio stations in Hong Kong.

In July 2008, her third album, "Lady K: Transformation", was released. Kary started trying out different styles of pop music while keeping her rock sound. In December, her first "Best Selection" album, "Kary 18 CUTS", came out with three new songs.

In February 2009, she performed at a charity event in Vancouver, Canada. In October, a special version of the song "Everyday" (in Cantonese) was released. It featured Kary and singer Justin Lo for the popular Disney Channel Original Movie, High School Musical 2 (soundtrack).

On April 24, 2009, Kary and Alex Fong performed together in Melbourne, Australia. Later that year, her new EP "Keep Breathing" was released.

In 2010, Kary worked with the Hong Kong rock band Hardpack. They released an EP called "合+歡" and announced Kary's first concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

On January 30, 2011, Kary had her first concert, Kary On Live 2011, at the Hong Kong Coliseum. Her EP, Carry On, was released before this concert. It was her last record with Gold Label Records before her contract ended. Later that year, she signed with Cinepoly Records. In October, Kary became the only Asian female singer to perform at the Universal Music Group's yearly meeting in South Korea.

In 2012, Kary reached another big moment in her singing career. She received the "Best Female Singer – Bronze Award" from the CRHK Music Awards. This was her first "Best Female Singer" award from CRHK.

In 2013, Kary held her second concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, The Present Concert 2013, on January 8 and 9. Other artists like At17 and Gigi Leung performed as planned guests. Her former Cookies bandmates, Stephy Tang and Miki Yeung, also made surprise appearances. On May 11, 2013, Kary held another "The Present Concert 2013" show in Macau.

On November 20, 2013, Kary Ng released her 12th album, State of Mind. This was her first album where she helped write every song. The song "生我的命" from the album won a Top Ten Song award from the CRHK Music Awards. This was the first time Kary received a Top Ten Song award for one of her own compositions. That year, she also received an "Outstanding Singer Award" from the RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards.
