Biography

[edit]

Kwai was born on 15 February 2000, in Hong Kong.[3] She enjoyed singing as an interest when she was young, but had never thought of being a professional singer.[3] Kwai attended Lingnan University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in cultural studies.[4] She worked as a model during her university years and gained popularity on the internet after filming an advertisement for Daikin in 2020.[5] She also appeared in the music videos of Dear Jane's "Ended Before We Even Started" and Kaho Hung [zh]'s "Monologue" in the same year. In 2021, Kwai made her onscreen debut in ViuTV's 2021 anthology series You Only Live Once [zh].[6]

Kwai was signed by Warner Music Hong Kong as a singer in late 2022.[7] She released her first single, "Teaser", in January 2023, which was labelled as a "903 Special Recommendation" by Commercial Radio Hong Kong.[8] She released her second single, "Count to Three", in April 2023, and appeared in the music video of MC's "The One For U". Later the same year, Kwai guest-starred in ViuTV's thriller series Left On Read [zh] as a schoolgirl who is brutally murdered in the first episode.[9] She also made her film debut in the 2023 drama film Time Still Turns the Pages, portraying the teenage version of Hanna Chan's character.[10] In 2024, Kwai won Best Female Debut Singer in the Chill Club Chart Award Presentation 23/24 [zh].[11]
