Biography

Tam was born on 15 November 2000 in Hong Kong.[a][2] She is of Russian, Canadian, and Hong Kong descent.[3] While in secondary school, Tam weighed around 77 kg, but later lost weight after taking up basketball and dancing.[4] She joined her school's basketball team in Form 3,[5] playing as a shooting guard.[6] At the age of 17, while studying in Form 5, she was scouted by a talent manager after posting videos of herself playing basketball on social media, though she initially declined in order to focus on the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education.[7][8] The talent manager spent half a year convincing her father, and she ultimately joined the industry as a model after graduating from secondary school in 2019.[9][10] She chose not to attend university, saying that she was "not particularly drawn to university life".[11] She appeared in advertisements and music videos, including Edan Lui's songs "Mr. E's Series of Unfortunate Events" and "Talents",[9] earning the nickname "E Girl" (Chinese: E女郎) for her frequent appearances in Lui's MVs.[12] She also made a cameo appearance in the ViuTV series We Got Game, which also starred Lui, playing a street basketball player.[13]

In November 2023, after two years of training, Tam debuted as a member of the girl group Me& under Media Asia Entertainment Group alongside Feanna Wong and Vian Lin, with their debut single "Eye to Eye".[14][15] Tam also appeared in the horror comedy film Yum Investigation, playing a girl who hires the protagonists to catch ghosts,[16] although film critic Calvin Choi remarked that her character "left little impression".[17] She later starred as the female lead in Patrick Kong's romance film Love at First Lie, portraying the 18th incarnation of Bo in Kong's films, a high school graduate who falls in love with the character played by Edward Chen.[18][19] Chung Kun-chuen of HK01 wrote that audiences could "feel Tam's personality through her performance", praising her "comedic sensibility and 'tomboyish' charm", while considering her acting competent for a newcomer.[20] In November 2024, after Me& released its second single "Me & My Christmas Town", Tam suspended her group activities.[21] In 2026, she starred in the comedy film Night King as ChiLing, a nightclub hostess,[22] with film critic Enoch Tam praising "the 'rough-edged charm' she exuded, which broke away from her previously innocent star image".[23] The film is currently the third-highest grossing Hong Kong film of all time.[24] In the same year, she also attended the Milan Fashion Week,[25][26] and appeared as Bianca Yeung, a police inspector loyal to protagonist M.B. Lee (played by Terrance Lau), in the crime thriller film Cold War 1994.[27]
