Karen Mok (born Karen Joy Morris (Chinese: 莫文蔚), 2 June 1970) is a Hong Kong pop diva who is one of the leading Asian pop singers and actresses with a career spanning three decades.[1] She is the first female Hong Kong singer to win the Golden Melody Award and has won it a total of three times. She has released 18 solo studio albums, starred in over 40 movies, has over 15 million followers on leading Chinese social media site Weibo and holds the Guinness World Record for the Highest Altitude Mass-Attended Music Concert.[2]

Early life[edit]

Karen Mok was born on 2 June 1970 as Karen Joy Morris in Hong Kong. She is of mixed ancestry: her mother is half Chinese, quarter German and quarter Persian, while her father is half Welsh and half Chinese.[3][4] Her grandfather was Alfred Morris, the first principal of King's College, Hong Kong. She speaks English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian, German and French.[5]

Mok attended Diocesan Girls' School from primary to secondary grade in Hong Kong. When she was a F.4 student, she received the 1st Hong Kong Outstanding Students Awards. In 1987 she won a scholarship for the United World College of the Adriatic in Duino (Trieste, Italy) from which she graduated in 1989 with the International Baccalaureate.[6] She subsequently studied Italian Literature at Royal Holloway, University of London.[7]

Music career[edit]

Albums[edit]

While studying in London, Mok auditioned for the West End Musical Miss Saigon. At the same time, she recorded music demo tapes together with fellow students which landed her first recording contract with Star Records. She decided to put her theatre aspirations on hold, headed back to Hong Kong and released in 1993 her first Cantonese album Karen.[citation needed] She achieved her musical breakthrough with the launch of her first Mandarin album To Be in 1997. To date, she has released 17 studio albums, the most successful ones being 做自己 To Be (1997), 全身莫文蔚 Karen Mok in Totality (1995), [i] (2004), Without you (2006), 拉活...莫文蔚 L!VE is... KAREN MOK (2007) and HALF TIME (2018) containing numerous number 1 hits such as Ta Bu Ai Wo, 他不愛我, He does not love me, Yin Tian, 陰天, Overcast[8] and Man Man Xihuan Ni, 慢慢喜歡你, Growing fond of you.[9] Her 2021 single 這世界那麼多人 [zh] Empty World had over 3bn streams on Chinese music platforms and became an anthym during the Covid pandemic in mainland China.

In 2013, she launched her English album Somewhere I belong,[10] an East-meets-West reinterpretation of jazz classics.[11][12] The album is recorded in China with Asian musicians and adding the guzheng on several tracks.[13] She showcased this album at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, London, on 30 May 2013.[14] Mok said about the title of the album: “It’s about what I do, when I feel comfortable, that’s when I’m doing what I love most, that’s singing, that’s when I’m performing on stage, and just singing my heart out, sharing my emotions,” she said. “So that’s where I belong.”[13]

Concerts[edit]

In 2000, she gave her debut solo concert The very Karen Mok show in Taipei in front of 20,000 spectators.[15] In 2005, she started her international concert tours with the Extremely Karen Mok Show,[16] followed by The Original Karen Mok Show (2009–2011)[17] and the tour The Age of MOKnificence (2014/2015),[18][19][20] with which she celebrated her 20th anniversary in show business. Starting from 2005, she also assumed the role of creative director and producer in her concert tours.[21]

Mok's subsequent concert tours were:

Regardez (2015/2016).[22][23] This tour started in Taipei and led Mok to 27 cities in Asia, North America, Europe and Australia/New Zealand. As part of this tour, she was the first Chinese pop artist to give solo concerts in Madrid and Milan.[24]

The tour was largely conducted in outdoor stadiums, with the maximum attendance of 40,000 in the Beijing Workers' Stadium, Beijing, on 22 September 2019.[28] On 12 Oct 2019, she performed in Lhasa (Tibet) at an altitude of 3650m, setting the Guinness World Record for the Highest Altitude Mass-Attended Music Concert[29] and being the first solo stadium concert in Tibet. Her concerts in the Taipei Arena (Taipei) on 07 and 08 Dec 2019 had the special feature that she performed entirely different song lists on each night.[30] The European leg of the tour brought her in London to the Palladium and in Paris to the Folies Bergère, making her the first Chinese pop singer to perform in this venue.[31] With the Ultimate tour, Mok celebrated her 25th anniversary in show business. Interrupted by the events around the global Covid pandemic, the tour finished with three concerts in Hong Kong in June 2021.
