Hacken Lee

Hacken Lee, known for his work in Cantopop, first drew widespread attention during the opening years of the 1990s, above all through the popular track “Red Sun,” only to endure a stretch of limited artistic impact before earning renewed critical notice in the early 2000s. Born in Hong Kong on December 6, 1967, he launched his recording career in 1985 through a deal with PolyGram Records. A part in the 1988 TVB series Teenage No More boosted his profile, after which his music output steadily strengthened and reached its high point in 1992 with the self-penned hit “Red Sun.” That momentum proved short-lived, however, and PolyGram Records ended its association with him by the close of the decade. Returning via Universal Music after 2000, he made a notable impression by sharing the screen in the 2002 TVB drama Legal Entanglement while also recording its theme, “Loving You Unexpectedly.” A pair of concert-hall albums further added to his renewed visibility.
