Paisley Hu
Edit Profile胡蓓蔚
Career
She was first discovered by Tats Lau of Tat Ming Pair, and has released 3 albums and 1 European Parliament since the start of her music career in the mid-90s. Since the 2000s, she is mainly known as a television host on music programmes for TVB. Wu"s formative years were spent in Shanghai, where she received musical training in Italian opera. Her first release was a jazz album in 1994, which was sung in her native Mandarin and produced by Tats Lau.
In 1996, she signed with Musician Limited, a short-lived sublabel of Polygram Hong Kong which was then home to the newly reformed Tat Ming Pair, and during this period released music that showed a more alternative-rock influence.
Her first and only album on the label was released to mixed reception in 1997. She was often unfavourably dubbed as a Faye Wong wannabe, though she has personally acknowledged the latter"s influence in later years.
Wu released an easy-listening Mandarin album in 2002, before becoming a regular television host for various music programmes on TVB and TVB8. In late 2007, she made a brief return to the Hong Kong music scene with the European Parliament Don"t Think Just Do, which featured her first ever number one single, "Letting Go." Throughout her career, Wu has collaborated and recorded with Tats Lau, January Lamb, and Anthony Wong Yiu Ming in the mid-90s, as well as Lazy Mutha Fucka and Edison Chen in 2004.
