Jackie Chan Hiu-ki, better known as Kellyjackie, is a pop singer from Hong Kong. She was also part of a band called the Royals. Her stage name, Kellyjackie, combines the name of her childhood hero, Kelly Chen, with her own name, Jackie.
How Kellyjackie Started
Kellyjackie began her music journey at age 13. While still in secondary school, she started sharing her own versions of popular Hong Kong songs online. After about a year, she began writing her own music.
She then uploaded her first original song, Lucky Voice, and other songs to the internet. In January 2005, she wrote a special song called He invites me to Disneyland (他約我去迪士尼). She wrote this song to help her deal with the stress of her school exams. Kellyjackie said the song was inspired by the classic fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty and stories about romance.
She later decided to focus on her singing career. She left college to follow her dream of becoming a professional singer.
Her Song Became a Hit!
Kellyjackie shared He invites me to Disneyland on her band's forum and other websites. People could download the song for free. Surprisingly, the song quickly became very popular online within a few weeks. Many radio DJs also started talking about the song.
People were amazed by her talent, especially since she was still a student. The song became extremely popular in Hong Kong, Macau, and Guangdong. This success led her to sign a 5-year music contract.
Singing with Disney
To celebrate the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland, the Walt Disney Company released a special album. It was called Hong Kong Disneyland -The Grand Opening Celebration Album. Disney invited both Kellyjackie and Kelly Chen to perform He invites me to Disneyland. They later recorded the song together for the album.
Music Comeback
Kellyjackie took a break from the Hong Kong music scene for five years. This was due to some issues with her previous manager. She made her return to music in 2011. She signed a new three-year contract with MusicNEXT.
