Biography
Yoyo Sham was born in 1984 to the Hong Kong artists John Shum and Tina Liu.[3][4] She was a member of a choir in her childhood, and in 1993, she sang "Three's Company" in place of her sister, Sze-sze. She attended St. Paul's Co-educational College Primary School and later West Island Secondary School. When she was 17, she moved to Canada to study.[4]
After graduating from York University in Toronto, she worked as a film production assistant before becoming a backing vocalist. She met Jonathan Lee through work and became his apprentice, receiving vocal instruction. Through her cousin, Jerald Chan, a member of the group Swing, she began providing backing vocals at concerts. In 2010, Hong Kong singer Eason Chan gave her a solo performance of "The End of the World" at his DUO Eason Chan 2010 Concert, which brought her public attention. In June 2011, she sang an a cappella version of "Three's Company" in place of her mother.[5]
Shan has received several nominations for the Golden Melody Awards, held in Taiwan.[4]
