Jackie Chan Hiu-ki,also known asKellyjackie,is a Hong Kong pop singer and a former member of a band called theRoyals.Her artist name, Kellyjackie, is an amalgam of the name of her childhood idol,Kelly Chen,and her own name "Jackie".
Starting at the age of 13, while still in secondary school, Kellyjackie started putting her own covers of other Hong Kong pop singers' songs online. After about one year, she started writing her own songs. She then put her first self-composed songLucky voiceand her other songs onto the internet.[1]In January 2005, she wrote the songHe invites me to Disneyland( hắn ước ta đi Disney ) to cope with the stress of theHong Kong Certificate of Education Examination.She claimed the song was inspired by the classicfairy taleofSleeping Beautyand court romance.[1]She eventually repeated form five, and enteredPLK Vicwood KT Chong Sixth Form Collegewith satisfactory results, but left the College in a year to develop her singing career.
She uploaded her songHe invites me to Disneylandto her band's forum, herXangasite, i010 and also cmidi for others to download for free.[2]Surprisingly, the song quickly became popular on the internet (mainly throughBulletin Board SystemsandWinMX) within a few weeks. Many DJs also started talking about the song on the radio. Many were amazed by her talent, given her age and her busy schedule as a secondary school student preparing for her O-level exams. Nevertheless, the song eventually became extremely popular and received widely positive reviews in Hong Kong,Macau,andGuangdongand landed her a 5-year recording contract.
To celebrate the opening of theHong Kong Disneyland,the Walt Disney Companypublished theHong Kong Disneyland -The Grand Opening Celebration Album( Hong Kong Disneyland khai mạc kỷ niệm đại đĩa ) and invited both Kellyjackie and Kelly Chen to perform the songHe invites me to Disneyland,and later to record the song.
After a 5-year hiatus from the Hong Kong music scene because of contract problems with her former manager, she made her comeback by signing withMusicNEXTin 2011 for 3 years.
