Creativity runs deep in Chan’s household. With a legendary singer as a father and a fashion trailblazer as a mother, artistic expression was a constant. But instead of following the Canto-pop path her father is known for, Chan’s first single is in English, underscoring her desire to shape her own musical identity.

Chan’s musical contributions go back more than a decade. At just seven years old, she played piano accompaniment for her father’s Baby Song (2011). More recently, she provided backing vocals in the music video for his 2023 single The Code. Clearly, music has always been part of her life—and her future looks just as melodic.
