There are many Female Singers in Hong Kong who can sing, but wei Lan is one of the typical ones who can stand out by the sound alone. She was a hot newcomer in Hong Kong more than a decade ago, and she won all the major awards with Side Tian, and became the successor of the Heavenly King Tianhou, which was unique for a while.

Unfortunately, the good times were not long, and a series of reasons led to the stagnation of her singing career, which can be described as a big ups and downs. But fortunately, since last year, we have also heard Wei Lan's latest works, and her latest main hit of 2019, "So I Love", has also been officially launched.

Wei Lan's starting point as a singer is very high, and in 2000, she was excavated by the famous musician Lei Songde after participating in the Global Chinese Rookie Singing Competition. Lei Songde is the behind-the-scenes promoter of many Hong Kong music kings and queens, and I have to say that his vision is unique. Later, he recommended her to Dawn and became the first singer to sign a contract with East Asia Records.

But at first, because Wei Lan's Cantonese singing was not up to standard, Dawn only arranged for her to do some chores and did not have the opportunity to release records for her.

By 2004, the company sent Wei Lan's cover of Dawn's two old songs "I Love You So Much" and "Love Talked Never Spoken" to get the attention of fans.

In 2005, Wei Lan released his debut album "Day & Night", all of which were supervised by Lei Songde, and re-arranged 13 classic songs, and Wei Lan's beautiful voice received a lot of praise for the first time.

At the end of the same year, Wei Lan took advantage of the victory to launch the second album "My Love", which gave birth to many early classics of Wei Lan such as "My Love My Fate", "Heartbroken", "Big Brother", etc., helping her to successfully become the most eye-catching newcomer of the year.

At the end of the year, in the four major awards ceremonies, Wei Lan won all the awards for newcomer female singers, and less than 1 year after her debut, she was shortlisted for the top 5 of "My Favorite Female Singers in the Music Scene".

In 2006, Wei Lan gained more momentum, defeating Miriam Yang, Xie Anqi and Xue Kaiqi at the Awards Ceremony of the Music Scene, and won the Bronze Award for Female Singer, and her popularity and strength were all close to the front-line status. In November, the third album "DO U KNOW", "Love Talent" and "Run Away from Home" instantly conquered the major charts, becoming one of the highest-selling records in Hong Kong that year.

In 2007, wei lan, whose popularity remained high, opened four solo concerts in the Red Pavilion. After winning the Female Singer Award, he landed in the Red Pavilion to sing, and the scenery was infinite. However, good luck does not seem to have been caring for her, and later affected by the drug use of her sister Wei Shi, coupled with the fat body was criticized by netizens, for a time negative news was entangled, and the company had to temporarily prevent her from showing her face.

During this time, Wei Lan also gradually slowed down the pace of music, but still good songs continued, "He is not used to being loved", "Street lamp dinner" and other songs are the favorite of Hong Kong music fans.

After experiencing ups and downs, Wei Lan finally understood life, and life also polished his temper almost. In 2015, Wei Lan chose to start again, signed with Warner Records, started a new music team, and was released in 2017 with a new work "Love And Other Things" that had been in preparation for two years.

With a charming voice and a voice performance after being baptized by the years, Wei Lan once again proved his good strength, the album was well received, and the trilogy of "Injury Examination", "Natural Enemy" and "One Grid" was even higher in the number of auditions. She also won the "Golden Award for Female Singer in the Music Scene" for the first time, and Wei Lan on the podium could not help but shout "I have been waiting for 12 years!"
