Biography

Background information

Chew Sin Huey, though a Malaysian, was made popular in Singapore as the first runner-up in the female category of Project Superstar 2005, a singing-cum-talent search competition organised by Channel U of Mediacorp, Singapore. She had garnered the highest points(With the highest score of 44/50 from the judges) during the female finals from her delivery of the 3 songs and received positive comments from the judges panel. However, she lost on popularity vote which total up to 70% of the total score. However, Sin Huey's singing talent is widely appreciated and she has been offered a 3 year singing contract by Play Music which is now part of Warner Music.

During her school life, Sin Huey took part in debates and gave speeches during her primary and secondary school period. She participated in campus shows and took up the lead role of a musical and also held a mini concert when she was in university.

Sin Huey also made many appearance on TV, including her participation in a local mandarin idol drama Dream Chasers as one of the female lead. Other TV appearances of Sin Huey include her hosting a game show that was being showed on channel U, The 7-eleven game show, where she is the leader of one of the four teams in the show and each team's objective is to eliminate the other teams by arriving at the designated 7-eleven convenient store and play the games. Also appearing on local talk/debate show, Cross Fire, where she showcase her verbal talents and well-structured opinions on social issues which invited guests voice out their opinion on a particular topic, and as well as Let's Shoot!

Career

Sin Huey became the fourth artiste to release an album after Project Superstar Overall Champion Tan Wei Lian, Kelly Poon and Hong Jun Yang. Her debut album 从台北到北京 consist of 4 original tracks, 5 covers and a cover duet with Kelvin [Tan Wei Lian]. She even penned the lyrics for her album's no.1 hit, 从台北到北京 / From Taipei To Beijing (which is a cover of popular danish group, Infernal's "From Paris to Berlin"). The song 从台北到北京 was an instant hit with the listeners and became popular ringtone downloads and received frequent airplay on radio stations as well as in pubs or night hangouts because of its strong rhythmic techno nature. Her music video for the song From Taipei To Beijing became a hot topic in local newspapers and the online community after a 25 seconds video is leaked onto popular video sharing website,Youtube showing her raunchy acts, including one scene where she unbuttoned part of her shirt to reveal slightly a black bra.The video had more then 40,000 hits and she made a stunning return from her recluse from the industry after almost one year of hiatus when she has been preparing for her debut album.It was shocking for those who had always regarded her as the girl next door because of her demure looks and her plain dress sense and could not accept this major change.Following her debut release, she also became more confident,pretty and fashionable and have shown to critics that she has better fashion sense now after vicious remarks and criticisms were rattled upon her during her competition days.Although there is a shift of focus onto her music video and her dressing,the album had received good feedbacks from music professionals and media where most reviews gave her at least 3/5 stars with some as high as 4.5/5 stars because of her steely and emotive delivery which is rare for a newcomer.It also achieved good sales results especially for a newcomer and thus proving her popularity in the Singapore and Malaysia regions.However she feels that she still needs to improve on many aspects and is set to move on to other regions of the chinese community like Taiwan and China of which the album title,从台北到北京 / From Taipei To Beijing, had exactly shown her ambitious vision to take over the chinese music industry by storm. Before this release, she had also lent her vocals to numerous Mediacorp soundtracks, drama theme songs and compilations.

For her debut album, Sin Huey adopted an english name, Sing. It reflects her passion for singing, sounds like her chinese name, Sin Huey and indicates the fact that she is/debut from Singapore.
