Emme Wong

Emme Wong Yee-Man (Chinese: 黃伊汶; born 3 January 1981) is a Cantopop singer and actress based in Hong Kong.

Wong originally debuted under the name "Dior Wong" in late 2001, as one of Universal Records's promising new pop starlets. As Dior Wong, she sported a clean and youthful image, and released her first EP Pure Impression (純屬印象) in November. She followed with her first full-length album Scents (香薰) in July 2002.

After a brief hiatus, she changed her name to Emme and returned with her second album (self-titled) in 2003, marked by a new, more mature playgirl image, and uptempo dance tunes which she has been noted for ever since. The subsequent EP Good Show released in 2004 continues in the same vein. She returned in May 2008 with the new dance/electronic single Aspire (渴求), and the album The Groove in Me in August.

Wong has also recorded many Cantonese covers of songs originally sung in English, including "What Took You So Long?" by Emma Bunton (純屬印象), "Round Round" by the Sugababes (戒男), "Show Me Love" by t.A.T.u., and most recently a remixed version of "He Doesn't Love You" by Sarah McLeod (渴求).

Wong has collaborated with a variety of artists, including Masataka Matsutoya, Matsutoya Yumi, Andy Lau, Hacken Lee, and Alan Tam.

Wong has appeared in multiple films, most notably "Colour of the Loyalty" and "Confession of Pain". She also appeared in the TV dramas "Kung Fu Soccer" and "Magic Chef". events host, advertisements, lyric compositions, and fashion shows etc. In 2006, Emme acted in a national education movie of "A Chinese Fairy Tale" alongside award winning actor Tony Leung Ka Fai.

Wong began to start a business outside of her artistic career in recent years. She introduced the French watch brand GALTISCOPIO to Hong Kong in 2009, and it was voted as one of the best brands of a famous fashion magazine in Hong Kong within one year. GALTISCOPIO expanded its business to the Chinese market in 2010 and opened new stores in Beijing, Chengdu, Hangzhou and other big cities. In 2011, the company further explored to Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian markets.

To commemorate the fifteenth anniversary of the return of Hong Kong in 2012, Beijing authorities held an election of "Bauhinia Merit". The winners of the election (Wong and 54 other Chinese entrepreneurs) had their biographies compiled into a book in recognition of their excellence in industrial and commercial achievements, as well as the contribution to the economic and social development in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
