Biography
Leong was born in
Kuala Pilah,
Negeri Sembilan,
Malaysia and she grew up in
Bahau, a small town where is half an hour driving time away from Kuala Pilah. Her real name is "Leong Chui Peng" . She started her career as a
cover version singer at Hai Luo Music Cafe.
Z-Chen is her cousin.
In her youth, Leong had participated in many local singing competitions and emerged as the winner in a few of them. Veteran singer
Jonathan Lee discovered her during a singing competition at Hai Luo. She was then singing a song called Qī Dài (期待) which was composed by her friend. She started her career in Taiwan, in October 1997, after joining
Rock Records of Taiwan. It was then that she adopted the name "Fish", because the last character of her name "茹" sounds like "fish" (魚) in Cantonese. Her debut album
Yí Yè Zhǎng Dà (一夜長大) was released after two years, only to encounter an earthquake on the day of the album launch promotion (
21 September,
1999). Her career only managed to take off after the successful launch of her second album
Yǒng Qì (勇氣), which means courage.
Leong has enjoyed collaborations with prominent Chinese songwriters and producers, such as
Lee-Hom Wang and Ashin of
Mayday, the latter being her fellow labelmate. She has also sung duets with fellow Malaysians and labelmates,
Guang Liang,
Pin Guan and
Yu Heng.
Her albums have been best-sellers in the
East Asia region, including
Singapore and
Taiwan, where she's based. Since making her debut in 1999, Leong has released ten solo albums. Her best-selling album
The Power of Love had sold in excess of 1.5 million copies in
Asia and more than 40,000 copies were sold in Singapore alone.
Wings Of Love, her seventh and double-platinum album, topped Singapore’s RIAS sales chart for two weeks and remained within the top 15 positions for more than two months. Her
Silk Road album in 2005 had sold 1 million copies in Asia. At the Singapore Hits Awards 2003, she was crowned the
Best Female Vocalist. In 2004, she was presented with the
Regional (Malaysia) Most Popular Singer prize at the same event. In 2005, she won the
Most Popular Female Singer and
Regional (Malaysia) Most Popular Singer awards. Her 2006 album "Kissing The Future Of Love" was a hit and topped the Mandarin charts for weeks. A year later, the same feat would be a achieved with her 2007 album "j'Adore."
After the success of the
Love Parade World Tour 2004/2005, she'd peformed for another series of world tour concerts (including
Hong Kong,
Taiwan,
Mainland China,
Malaysia and
Singapore) which took place starting from February 2007. Starting from December 2007, she's a new series of Today is Our Valentine's Day concerts.
