Stephy Tang Lai-Yan is a multifaceted Hong Kong-based artist, renowned for her impressive career as a singer and actress. Prior to pursuing a solo career, she was the leader of the popular Cantopop group Cookies, which catapulted her to fame in the Hong Kong music scene.
In addition to her successful music endeavors, Tang has also made a name for herself in the film industry, earning the prestigious Hong Kong Film Critics Society Award for Best Actress in 2017 for her captivating performance in "The Empty Hands". Furthermore, she has received two nominations for the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actress, solidifying her position as a talented and versatile actress.
Interestingly, Tang's athletic prowess extends beyond the entertainment industry. She was a skilled volleyball player, representing Hong Kong in the sport since her early days, primarily playing as a left wing spiker or libero. However, she eventually decided to focus on her career in the entertainment industry.
In a surprising turn of events, Tang revived her passion for volleyball in March 2015, when she founded her own fashion label, Loey, and secured sponsorship to reassemble a women's volleyball team. As the captain and founder of Loey, she led the team to participate in open-grade C-class qualifications, achieving a record of one win and one loss. The team then went on to play charity matches against the Chinese National Volleyball team and trained in Taiwan against secondary school teams in late 2015.
