From releasing hit tracks to winning major awards at festivals and becoming new darlings of luxury brands, 2021 was undoubtedly Mirror’s biggest year in its career yet.

After winning a major composer award at The Ultimate Song Chart Awards 2019, Lam officially launched his career as a singer with his stunning debut single Next (下一位前度) in the same year. Since then, the young talent has amassed millions of streams across different platforms and earned accolades at Hong Kong’s most prestigious music awards.
