威利 (香港)

简介

Willy (born 4 January 1950), originally named Feng Weilin, is a former senior male singer from Hong Kong and a former TVB contract artist. He lived in Canada and formed a band with friends in the 1960s. He entered the music scene in the 1970s on an amateur basis when he formed the "Jade Band" with singer Lam Chee-hung and Chang Wu-hiu (大AL). He first gained attention in 1979 when he sang the theme song for a Hong Kong & China Gas advertisement. In the same year, he formed the "Wai Chun Band" with Fung King-fai, Ricky, Tony, and A-yau, and the song "Sunshine and Air", adapted from the gas advertisement song, was included in the band's debut album "City Song". He later joined television to act in series, mostly playing comical and funny roles. From 1996, he felt he was not achieving much in the entertainment industry and turned his focus to the garment manufacturing business in mainland China, with a factory in Hunan and an office in San Po Kong, Hong Kong, producing mid-to-low-priced women's clothing exported as far as Italy. His decision to enter the garment industry was related to his family background, as he had previously opened a handbag factory in Dongguan. He returned to television in 2015 to film series such as "鬼同你OT", leaving in April 2018. Affected by social events and the COVID-19 pandemic, he had no income for a full year from August 2019 to August 2020, and eight performance engagements were cancelled. He married a woman outside the entertainment industry in 1971, but divorced around 1987 due to incompatibility and the appearance of a third party, though they remained in contact.
