Life and career

Early years: 1980s

Lee was brought up in a middle-class family. He lived in Arts Mansion in Happy Valley during his teenage years. He studied in Pun U Association Primary School (1974-1980) and Wah Yan College, Hong Kong (1980-1987).

After his HKCEE in 1985, he entered the TVB new talent show along with Alex To, William So, Vivian Chow and Grasshopper, though he was unable to make it into the top 15 finalists. He then participated in the Second Hong Kong 19 District Singing Contest in 1985, a competition which he won with his rendition of Alan Tam's song "Love in the Fog" (霧之戀). He was subsequently offered a contract with PolyGram Records.

Lee however continued his studies at Wah Yan College while singing part-time. He turned full-time in the summer of 1987 after failing to gain a university place due to poor HKALE results.

His debut EP Hacken Lee EP sold less than 10,000 copies. Symbol of Destiny was released in 1987. His musical popularity lacking, he gained recognition by starring in TVB dramas in the late 1980s, especially the youth drama series "Teenage No More" (不再少年時), for which he also sang the theme song. In 1989, his song "Unchanged in Lifetime", the theme song of ATV's Cantonese version of the drama series "Blue Moon," won both the RTHK "Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards" and "TVB Jade Solid Gold Awards."

1990s

In 1990, Lee, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau were dubbed as "Three Musketeers in the music industry" by the media and were hailed as "tomorrow's highly anticipated superstars". Later on that year, however, due to the contract disputes between Hacken and his company, Hacken's career faltered.

In 1992, Lee's career began to rise when he released the song "Red Sun" (紅日), for which he penned the Chinese lyrics that made it popular. In 1993, Hacken switched to Star Record Company and released the song "Look Back," which once again boosted his singing career and allowed him to win TVB Jade Solid Gold's Golden Award as well as reach the top five nominees for the Most Popular Singer Award. His first solo concert at Hong Kong Coliseum, later that year, sold out in just a few hours.

In 1994, Lee was crowned the title of "Zero Defect Vocals," alongside Jacky Cheung who was named "Perfect Vocals" the year before, and as well as the successor of the famous Alan Tam.

In 1995, after the unprecedented success of his first solo concert, Hacken held his second concert again at the Hong Kong Coliseum, "Dragon '95 Hacken's Contact of Hear Concert", for a span of 10 days. However, sales had declined around 40%, to which only grew worse after the concert, leading to contractual disputes between the record company.

In 1996, Lee was signed on to another company where he released the album "When I Found You" (當找到你), with which sales and popularity improved slightly. However, due to several personnel changes and contractual disputes since the release of his album "By Hacken Side" (在克勤身邊), his album eventually was postponed indefinitely.

In summer 1998, Lee was chaired as TVB for World Cup association football's sportscaster, and he composed and sang the song for the program, "Adventure of Football Fans", with the success of it leading to the release of a compilation album.

After the contract was expired with the record company, Lee's inability to find a recording company led him in several attempts in maintaining popularity by foraying beyond his singing career into acting in dramas and hosting TV programs.

In late 1999, Lee eventually signed onto Universal Music (former PolyGram) and issued his album "A Year Or So". In December, he had a musical performance with the Hong Kong Repertory, named "Adventure".
