In 1995 and the young age of 15, Joey participated in many singing contests, including Big Echo Karaoke Singing Contest, in which she was given the opportunity to be an artist of Go East Entertainment Co. Ltd.. However, her talent did not win the recognition of the company. Go East ended the contract with Joey soon after the song 'The First Time I Want to be Drunk', which is the theme song of a movie, was recorded. The song is Joey's only song produced by Go East.
Afterwards, she continued with school while also working as a clerk and helping her mother in managing the business of a fashion boutique. At the same time, she followed Roman Tam, the godfather of Canto-pop, to learn singing. She was later introduced to Golden Pony Records Co. Ltd. by an ex-colleague of Go East. Not long after she joined the company, it withdrew its business in Hong Kong. Joey's singing career was once again terminated.
Breakthrough as the newest Pop Queen (2003)
In 2003, her song 'My Pride', which is also the theme song of the TV commercial of Banyan Garden developed by Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited, became very popular and well-known among the public. This song was awarded 'The Most Popular Song in the Nation' by RTHK. In the same year, she became the spokesperson of a slimming parlour. In the fad of slimming in Hong Kong, Joey also had her body slimmed and presented herself as a sexy image, which was welcomed by the public. She held her third concert 'Joey Yung Live Show Up!' in Hong Kong Coliseum, which pushed her career to even higher heights, and she was soon named as 'Canto-pop Queen of Hong Kong'. At the end of the year, she was awarded the 'Most Popular Female Singer' in all prize-giving ceremonies held by the media. She was the youngest singer in history to have won this prize. Following this, she began her world-wide tour including Canada, Australia, USA, Mainland China, Macau, Malaysia with her "Show Up concert" throughout 2004 to 2005.
Sales of all her CDs reached at least 5 million copies in 2004, which is impressive, as Canto-pop CD sales are usually about 100,000 copies. She has also won IFPI Best Selling Singer Awards since she started her career. It is also estimated that the total income from field of advertisements in 2004 was about HK $10 million. In 2005, she has purchased two flats in Jardines Lookout, Hong Kong for HKD $40 million. It is not surprising that she has invested since she has earned more than HKD $60 million last year.
In Jan 2006, she has received, again, many awards such as the most popular female singer award for the consecutive third time. She has also won other awards such as Golden song etc. During the Hong Kong IFPI record sales awards 2005, Joey once again for the 2nd year in a row, was the best selling female artist. Two of her albums (Love Joey II and Joey Yung X Hacken Lee The Music Is LIVE 903 Id Club Concert) were of the top 10 selling albums. Following the success of the 8-night "Reflection';s of Joey's Live Concert," her concert CD/VCD/DVD combined to have a sales of triple platinum (120,000 copies), quite a rare accomplishment in today's Cantopop Industry.
On Feb. 27, 2006, Joey released another album, Ten Most Wanted, her all-new cantonese album. More time has been put in the production of this CD than any other CD Joey's produced. Joey says that this album was to try new music styles, and work with different musicians. One of the musicians behind this CD is well praised by Joey,Mavis Faan, who wrote the music of two of the ten songs out of this CD, Get Fit with Jane Fonda and Torn Tongue (lyrics of both songs written by Yiu Fai Chow). Both songs are fast songs that are completely different from the previous Joey songs. It appears that her new music styles are well accepted by the public.
