Yoyo Sham (born November 7, 1984, in Hong Kong) is a Canadian-Hong Konger singer-songwriter, also known by her works as backing vocalist performing alongside many notable Chinese singers including Eason Chan, Sandy Lam, Tanya Chua and Khalil Fong. She is the daughter of actor John Shum and costume designer Tina Lau.
In 2011, Yoyo made her decision to develop her career independently in Taiwan. In the same year, she released her first EP "4-6pm". Without any advertising, the album’s first distribution in Hong Kong and Taiwan was sold out within two days. In Mid-2012, she released her second EP "2/2", and was invited to perform at “Simple Life Music Festival” in Taipei at the end of the year.
In balance of her works as backing vocalist in concert tour and her solo performances in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Yoyo released her much-anticipated first album ”here” in 2015. The album was again sold out within a week and received high recognitions – it was awarded “Top 10 Best Singles of Year (空隙)” of The Association of Music Workers In Taiwan (中華音樂人交流協會), “Top 10 Best Albums of Year” of KKBOX. Yoyo was nominated for “Best New Artist” at 2016 Golden Melody Awards.
