the pancakes (Dejay as the only member)

Since she released her debut album "les bonbons sont bons" in early 2000, she has been making music (melody, lyrics, arrangement, vocals, instruments and self-financed publishing) as well as other kinds of creative works (such as short videos and writing). Her tunes have appeared in various TV commercials. e.g. KMB, CLP Power, HSBC, KIA Motors(broadcast in various countries in Europe), etc. The Spanish indie label Elefant Records has released an album and a vinyl of the pancakes which were introduced and sold in other countries. Dejay has been working irregularly with Alice Mak and Brian Tse since the first McDull movie and the song "Gum Gum Gum" for the film "McDull, Prince de la Bun" has won the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards' "Best Original Film Song".
