Biography

Cantopop singer Christopher Wong was born Huang Kaiqin on November 18, 1961, in Hong Kong. Before making his entry into the music world, he was a familiar voice on the Hong Kong Radio Station RTHK. His early brush with music fame was when he wrote "Love" for the band Raidas under the pseudonym "Ruoyu." A promising opportunity with Polygram emerged with the single "Sword Fairy Li Bai," released in 1983. Although a full contract was on the horizon, Christopher Wong prioritized completing his university studies. 1986 marked a significant year as he took part in the ABU Pop Song Singing Competition with the song "Encounter." His talent was evident despite not clinching the top spot, leading to an official recording in January 1987. That summer, he released his studio debut Moody, boasting double platinum sales and hits like "Sad Lover" and "Wandering Love," a collaboration with Yu Jianming. Parallel to his singing, he continued as a beloved radio DJ, teaming up with Zhou Huimin and Chen Haiqi on shows like The World of Two and Night Love. Christopher Wong reached the peak of his popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, releasing numerous albums that enjoyed great popularity in Hong Kong, including Misty (1988) and Unrequited Feelings (1989), which featured the hit single "If Life Waits." However, as the decade dawned, his spotlight began to dim. Disenchanted with PolyGram's commercial demands, he parted ways with the label, not before delivering the hit "Lovers in the Rain" from his 1992 album, Stay with Me. A subsequent stint with Photo Records saw his popularity surge in China, particularly with the single "Late Autumn." In 1994, Wong relocated to Vancouver, Canada. But music's allure brought him back to Hong Kong in 2002, marking his triumphant return with Universal Records. However, by 2004, he departed Universal, relocating back to Canada, but remained active in charity performances. Starting in 2014, a revitalized Christopher Wong signed with Neway Star and gave a significant boost to his career, releasing the cover albums Tenno Period (2014), Bright Yellow Period (2015), and Cherry Blossom Season (2016).
