Hacken Lee (李克勤; born December 6, 1967), is a male Hong Kong Cantopop singer.
Lee won the 1985 Hong Kong 19 District Singing Contest with the song "Love In The Fog" (霧之戀), Alan Tam's megahit, and launched himself to moderate stardom in the entertainment industry, signing a contract with Polygram Records. Initially, as a new and relatively unknown singer, the sales of his first EP album "李克勤 (EP)" did not even reach the 5,000 mark. However, in 1988, he appeared in a TVB television series "Teenage No More" (不再少年時), which ignited his popularity and resulted in his career steadily taking off.
In 1992, he reached the first peak in his career. His song "Red Sun" (紅日) is still widely recognized to this day as the prime "feel-good" song in Hong Kong society (he wrote the lyrics himself). In fact, this song appeared right at the moment when the golden age of Cantopop was blooming and his music was well-received. His maiden concert held at the HK Coliseum in 1993 was very successful with all the tickets sold out.
However, his fortunes took a turn for the worse from 1995 onwards following various contract disputes with his record company and a concert with a very low turnout. For a short time, he had no recording contract and became a presenter for TVB for shows such as the music programme "Jade Solid Gold", Miss Hong Kong and numerous sports events, notably soccer. At the same time, he also appeared occasionally in dramas for TVB. Although his music career was at a low point then, he made a name for himself as a host and actor.
He signed for Universal Music (環球唱片, his current record company) in 1999. However, it was not until 2001 before he began to release successive hits once more, including "Flying Flower" (飛花), "Feet of Fortune" (前後腳), "I Won't Sing" (我不會唱歌) and "The Grasp of Love" (愛不釋手).
The turning point of his career came in late 2001, after a joint collaboration with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert, together with subsequent sales of its recordings, were a runaway success, and so were his early 2002 concert and subsequent sales of that concert's recordings, impressive achievements considering the overall Cantopop music scene was at an all time low. The TVB drama, Legal Entanglement, which he co-starred in and began airing around the time of the 2002 concert, also achieved high ratings and was one of TVB's most popular dramas that year. He later won a Most Favourite Character award for this role at the 2002 TVB Anniversary Awards. He was also appointed the host of the 2002 World Cup and sang its theme song, which dominated the local charts for quite some time. The TVB Jade Solid Gold Award for Most Popular Male Singer can be said to be the icing on the cake for his high-flying career that year and caused his career to reach even greater heights. He has since won the award three times, twice in succession (2002 and 2003) and another one in 2005.
In 2003, he cooperated with Tam in a series of successful concerts around the world, including multiple shows in HK and Las Vegas. The concerts are named "Neighbors" (「左麟右李」) which is a play of words with a well known Chinese four character idiom 「左鄰右里」 using homonyms 麟 and 李 in the artists' names. The concert became known for the "happy culture" which it inspired, especially in a period of economic downturn and an air of pessimism in HK society as a whole.
He also partnered with Joey Yung for the first time in 2004, of which the combination is better known by a four-character idiom "Urgency cannot afford delay" (克不容緩) which is a play of word with 克 and 容 in the artists' names.
Lee was the first artist in HK to release a DualDisc. Titled Hacken Lee Concert Hall (李克勤演奏廳), the DVD side of the disc featured Making Of footage as well as live recordings of the songs, in Surround Sound, which were featured on the CD side.
Hacken is a role model for many people and he has many fans who have supported him during his career's ups and downs. Today, he is still famous in HK, mainland China, Taiwan, South-East Asia and even the United States.
