天后生平简介:
She’s better known by her stage name G.E.M., an acronym for Get Everybody Moving, which stands for her music dreams.
She was born in Shanghai and grew up with a musical background. At the age of four she migrated to Hong Kong. She released her self-titled debut album in 2008, and has since become one of Hong Kong’s best-selling musical artists.
Her fans gave her a nickname ‘girl with giant lungs’ because of her vocal range. I mean, she’s got amazing singing voice and could hit super high pitches.
如何认识天后:
I first knew her from the song ‘Bubbles’. And later she became a guest in a talent show called ‘I Am a Singer’, since then, she has gained great popularity in China. And I just become madly in love with her.
天后的闪光点1:
Her personality is what attracted me most, I mean, she’s straightforward, never hides her feelings from the public, you know, she’s just so real, not pretentious at all. And I guess that’s the main reason why she’s got so many fans all around the world.
She encouraged me to be myself, no matter what other people think of me.
天后的闪光点2:
She’s absolutely talented, I mean, she’s not just an excellent singer, but also a composer. She expresses her feelings and shares her experiences through the songs she wrote. And we could sense her positive energy from her music.
