Fiona Hoi-Kei Sit is a female Cantopop singer and actress from Hong Kong. She entered the music industry through her uncle's connections with Warner Music Group, Hong Kong. Impressed by her good look and vocal, Warner Music eventually signed her in 2004.

Career

Fiona Sit released her first album F Debut in 2004. It became a best-seller in Hong Kong, being certified gold for sales in excess of 25,000 copies.^[1] The album contained the hit ballad "XBF" (short for ex-boyfriend) and another hit "Keanu Reeves' Reply." On 7 January 2005, Warner Music released a single of her named 886. It included songs such as "Pumpkin Wagon" and "886", which is a short term of Byebye in Cantonese ICQ language. The single was a huge success and it was sold out within 3 weeks. Shortly after the release of her 886 single, Fiona went on to film her first TV series "The Academy" (學警雄心) as a female police trainee. To match the character's circumstances, Fiona cut her hair short, as shown in the picture. In contrast to her past success, fans responded atrociously towards this change in her image, and were wary of her future career decisions. In addition to this, Fiona was also featured in a weight loss product TV commercial, where she was required to do a dance routine. These two events led to numerous mockeries by the Hong Kong media, and dramatically decreased her fanbase.

Warner Music released her second album, Funnygirl, in April 2005. Its success resulted in the release of Funnygirl (2nd Edition), which included a DVD with her music videos, including the #1 single "A Boy Like You". Her third album, Me, was another CD+DVD combination released on 23 December 2005. It included the song "Love", which was featured in the film Embrace Your Shadow, which Fiona starred in. The DVD was a live concert footage of her "903 Fiona 0811" performance. She has won a number of awards, including a gold award for best female newcomer at the Hong Kong Music Awards, as well as a gold award for the song "Keanu Reeves' Reply." [1] In 2006, Fiona raised some controversy with her video clip for "Tong But Lut" as it hold great resemblance to the video clip of "ourselves" by Japanese superstar Ayumi Hamasaki. Her song "Dear Fiona" is a Cantonese version of the song Tomorrow's Way by Yui. Fiona's official fan club, Club F was established on August 11,2006 which was her 25th birthday. Her 4th album "Electric Angel" was released on the same day as well. A fans gathering was held in a Chinese restaurant in Wan Chai. Almost 200 fans attended the gathering and it was certainly one of the most memorable events of her career. Her fifth album, "F" Best, was released on 12th June 2007. This album includes 3 new songs with 15 selected songs from her previous albums. Besides, Fiona and her friends Khalil, Wyman, SIU HAK and so on have designed a painting for each song, to express her own feeling of the song. The album also includes a DVD containing a short film and some MVs of her songs.
