Gigi Leung

Gigi Leung is a film actress and multilingual pop singer from Hong Kong who emerged to quick success in the mid-'90s. Born in Hong Kong on March 25, 1976, she made her film debut in 1995 and earned a nomination for Best Newcomer at that year's Hong Kong Film Awards for her supporting role in Full Throttle. She made her recording debut the following year in association with Warner Music Hong Kong, releasing the Cantonese-language album Love Songs for Myself (1996). A year later she crossed over to the Mandarin-language market with Short Hair (1997), and from this point onward, she began releasing albums in both languages annually. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
