Kary Ng at her second coliseum concert THE PRESENT

Kary Ng (born 9 June 1986) is a talented pop rock singer from Hong Kong. She started her music journey as part of a girl group called Cookies. Later, the members of Cookies began their own solo careers, and the group eventually split up. Kary also briefly sang lead vocals for the rock band Ping Pung, but that band also disbanded after releasing just one album. Since 2005, Kary Ng has been a successful solo artist.

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

Kary Ng's Music Career

Starting with Cookies

In 2002, when Kary was 15, she became one of the nine members of the girl band Cookies. They signed with a big record company called Gold Label of EMI Hong Kong. That same year, Kary became the youngest person ever to win a CRHK music award. Cookies won the "Best Group Newcomer – Bronze Award," and Kary was only 16 at the time. She still holds this record today!

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 joined another rock band called Ping Pung. They released an album named "Love & Hate." Even while doing this, she remained a member of Cookies.

Becoming a Solo Artist

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

Her second solo album, "In Control", came out in 2007. This album won her the "Media Award – Album" from the Four Station Joint Music Awards, which are based on how well songs do on all four Hong Kong music stations. Kary was the second female singer to receive this award and, at 21, she is still the youngest female to win it.

First Concerts and Big Awards

In January 2008, Kary held three shows for her first concert, "Kary Lady K Live 08." She also performed as a special guest for Leo Ku's concert in Toronto, Canada, in front of 10,000 people.

In April 2008, Kary won the "Best Original Film Song" award 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. It was a very successful song, 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 pop styles, adding synthpop, R&B, and dance-pop sounds to her usual rock style. Later that year, her first "Best Selection" album, "Kary 18 CUTS", came out with three new songs.

More Music and Collaborations

In February 2009, Kary performed at a charity event in Vancouver, Canada. In October, she released a special Cantonese version of the song "Everyday" with singer Justin Lo for the movie High School Musical 2 (soundtrack).

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

On 30 January 2011, Kary had her first big concert, Kary On Live 2011, at the Hong Kong Coliseum. She released her EP, Carry On, before this concert. This was her last record with Gold Label Records before she signed with Cinepoly Records later that year. 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 important point in her career. She won the "Best Female Singer – Bronze Award" from the CRHK Music Awards. This was her first "Best Female Singer" award from CRHK.

Recent Concerts and Albums

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

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