简介

Chita Yu (real name Yu Chui-zhi) is a Hong Kong singer-songwriter born and raised in Macau in 1980. After graduating from St. Rose's Girls' School, she moved to Hong Kong at age 18 to pursue her music career, participating in several singing competitions but initially failing to release an album. In 2004, she was signed as a contracted composer through a recommendation by Lee Chun-yik, with her first published song being "18變" for the group Twins. In 2005, she participated in the 17th CASH Pop Song Composition Contest and won third place with "For U," which she composed and wrote herself, performed by Kay Tse. In 2006, her Mandarin song "飛" was selected as one of the top ten songs at the Global Chinese Music Composition Contest in Taiwan. In 2009, she officially debuted as the first new female artist of that year, releasing her first album with six tracks. She won the Gold Award for Best New Female Artist at the 2009 Hong Kong music awards. In 2010, she was invited to perform at the CCTV Chinese New Year Gala, singing "相親相愛" alongside prominent artists. In 2011, she founded her own record label "上口文化娛樂" and released the single "I Wanna Find A Way Out" with a distinctive hairstyle that earned her the nickname "爆炸魚." In 2013, she released her second fully self-composed album "R.I.S.E.," containing 13 tracks.
