Sammi Cheng was born Cheng Sau-Man on August 19, 1972, in Hong Kong. She grew up with two older sisters and one younger brother. Throughout her childhood, Sammi and her family were devout Christians, a religious denomination she holds dear to her heart. ?I love the influence by Christianity? and will often go to Bible study,? Sammi says.
In 1988, Sammi Cheng entered the New Talent Singing Awards competition, an annual televised event held in Hong Kong. She placed third in the competition, and although she did not take first place, the sponsor of the contest took interest in her.
Capital Artist signed Sammi in 1988 and before she even completed high school, she had already completed and released three successful albums. The album Sammi was released in 1990, Holiday in 1991 and Never Too Late in 1992. Each successive album outsold its predecessor, one of which remained on the Top 10 Albums of the Week Sales Chart for 10 weeks. The success of the three albums did not make Sammi an overnight celebrity, but she had gained recognition as a new artist to watch. |
