My Take
As someone with a soft spot for Hong Kong pop, I cannot skip George Lam. A Cantopop giant across more than four decades, he is no mere singer but a true author of his work, composing and producing most of it himself. His international background, born in British Hong Kong and educated at Dover College, adds a worldly polish to his artistry. That powerful, soaring voice is unmistakable, but what wins me over is his insistence on shaping the entire creative vision, not just the music. I always gravitate toward artists who chase their own aesthetic instead of the trends, and Lam is exactly that.
