Jade Kwan

Jade Kwan is a Cantopop singer in Hong Kong.

About Jade


Kwan entered the New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition 1999 with the song "Face" originally sung by singer Faye Wong and was awarded first runner-up. As such, she represented Vancouver in the New Talent Singing Awards Canada Finals 1999 and won. She then competed in the New Talent Singing Awards International Finals 1999 and won the "Best Potential Newcomer Award" The International Finals was held in Shanghai, China.

She was first known to the public as "Kwan Sum-yin" in 2002. Unlike many 'singers' in Hong Kong in the past few years who started out in a modelling company, Kwan emerged as a new-age genius with a sure-to-impress voice. Her singing talents were greatly admired and her albums promisingly received. Her first two albums, "Jade-1" and "Jade-2", won her reassuring gold records. Over the years, she has won many music industry awards in Hong Kong and China.

Kwan is blessed with musical talents. Not only is she talented in singing, she also plays a few musical instruments including piano, guitar and saxophone. Jade minored in Music Composition while attending University of British Columbia in Canada.

Her latest album, 'Jade.i', was released in May 2008.

Moreover, she is a devoted Christian, and has been quite active recently in the Christian community in Hong Kong. She sang a few Christian songs earlier this year and some of them eventually became popular even in the mainstream music market despite the religious connotations of the songs. She has chosen to sing not only for her fans, but also for God.
