Biography

Loo and Lam met each other at a singing competition called “Original Music 2000” (原音2000) held by Tom Lee Music Hong Kong , where Loo won the 3rd Prize and Lam won the 2nd Prize. They were the youngest participants. They then started performing together as a team at university campuses and other local tertiary institutions. After about a year, they were discovered by Anthony Wong Yiu Ming, the chairman of the music production company People Mountain People Sea and a renowned singer of the 90’s. Lam and Loo was then signed by the company on 1 January 2002, and the group was named at17.

The group was invited to Amsterdam and performed as part of the “Hong Kong China Festival” in 2005. Since April 2006, they have been appointed as MCs for TVB’s popular weekly music show Jade Solid Gold.

Their first mega concert “Sing Sing Sing 2006” took place at AsiaWorld-Expo on 30 Sept 2006. Subsequently, they held a series of mini live shows “Just the two of us” at Shouson Theatre, Hong Hong Arts Centre from 03 to 05 Jan 2007, where they performed the songs of other artistes.

The group name at17 was derived from the song “At Seventeen”, a bittersweet commentary on adolescent cruelty and teenage angst, sang by one of Lam’s favourite singers Janis Ian[2]. Inspired by the song, a lot of at17’s songs express teenage girls’ sentiments, but in a slightly optimistic way. The style of their songs has shown some influences from Janis Ian as well.
