Gloria Tang Sze-wing[a] (born 16 August 1991), known professionally as G.E.M. (backronym of Get Everybody Moving) or Tang Tsz-kei[b], is a Hong Kong singer, songwriter, and producer. Born in Shanghai and raised in Hong Kong, G.E.M. made her debut in 2008 with the release of her self-titled Cantonese extended play G.E.M. The release won her the gold award for best newcomer at three major music awards ceremonies in Hong Kong. Her debut studio album, 18... (2009), was named one of the top ten best-selling records in the territory in 2009.

G.E.M.'s third studio album, Xposed (2012), was named the best-selling Mandarin album of the year at the IFPI Hong Kong Record Sales Awards. It also brought G.E.M. her first Best Female Mandarin Singer nomination at Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, making her the youngest nominee in the history of the category. In 2014, her appearance on the Chinese singing competition I Am a Singer 2 gained her immense popularity in Greater China. Throughout 2015, G.E.M. released a series of singles including "Long Distance", "Goodbye", and "Away", which led up to the release of her first studio album recorded entirely in Mandarin, Heartbeat (2015).

In 2016, G.E.M. became the only Asian artist featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. That same year, she released the single "Light Years Away" as the Chinese theme song for the film Passengers, which remains the most viewed music video by a Chinese artist on YouTube. In March 2019, G.E.M. departed from Hummingbird Music after 11 years following a contractual dispute, and subsequently launched her own management company G-Nation. She continued to see success with her next two studio albums, both of which reached number one on the Hong Kong album charts. G.E.M. embarked on her I Am Gloria World Tour in 2023, which grossed over US$70 million within six months alone.

G.E.M. has won numerous accolades throughout her career, including sixteen IFPI Hong Kong Sales Awards, twelve RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards, thirteen Metro Radio Mandarin Music Awards, one Golden Melody Award, and one MTV Europe Music Award. In 2018, she was included at number 34 on BBC's 100 Women list of influential women from around the world.

### 2022–present: Revelation

[edit]

> ...the inspiration for the entire Revelation album came from a supernatural experience she encountered. One day, overwhelmed by sadness, she was crying and praying in the bathroom. When she began humming a melody unconsciously in the shower, she began to feel it bringing her peace, transcending her circumstances. The inspiration for an album emerged: She wanted to use her new song to speak of her struggles, heartbreaks, and prayers, and to remember how God answered prayers to redeem and bless her.

Christianity Today[1]

On 16 July 2022, G.E.M. announced her new album Revelation would be released soon.[38] The 14-track album is to be released by Warner Music China. "Gloria", the first single from the album was released on 9 August 2022, G.E.M. spoke of the inspiration behind Revelation. On 8 December 2022, G.E.M. released her single "Wallfacer" (面壁者).

On 10 July 2023, G.E.M. released her first Spanish language album, Revelación, making her the first Mandopop singer to release a full Spanish album.[39][40] On 7 November 2023, G.E.M. announced her fourth concert tour I am Gloria World Tour. It started on 9 December 2023 at Guangdong Olympic Stadium in Guangzhou, China.[41][42] In February 2024, G.E.M. served as a guest performer at the iconic event "TATLER XFEST: Hong Kong Team vs Inter Miami CF" at Hong Kong Stadium.[43]

## Personal life

[edit]

G.E.M. is a devout Christian and several of her songs reflect Christian themes, including Gloria, Heartbeat, and Walk on Water.[1] Her Revelation album is inspired by a "supernatural experience she encountered."[1] She has stated that her field has been stressful, but that it has been "her faith in God that kept her through the hardships of her career and allowed her to grow in trials."[1]

## Contractual issues and lawsuit

[edit]

On 7 March 2019, she announced that she would no longer be represented by Hummingbird after three months of negotiations on her contract and allegedly being pressured to work. Hummingbird replied saying that there was no such pressure or unfair practices. G.E.M. continued on The Queen of Hearts World Tour until April 2019 so as not to disappoint her fans.[44] As "G.E.M." and "Tang Tsz-kei" are trademarks held by Hummingbird, it was speculated that she may have to give up using the stage name.[44] However Hummingbird explained that the copyright was to prevent piracy, and a lawyer is being consulted before an appropriate course of action is carried out. A spokesperson added that "a lawyer has been assigned to make sure that [she] will receive all the basic rights that she deserves".[45]

On 29 March 2019, Hummingbird filed a court case claiming that G.E.M. has three more years on her contract, ending in 2022, and is looking to validate the contracts signed in 2014, with no start date indicated on the documents, as to be taken in effect only in March 2017. Should their case succeed and she leaves the company, she may have to pay HK$120,000,000 (approximately US$15 million) as compensation for losses. G.E.M. maintained that the 2014 contract was signed under the pressure of not being able to participate in the finals of I Am a Singer if she did not sign the contract. G.E.M. had since filed a counter-suit for unspecified damages, claiming that the company had failed in fulfilling their contractual duties. Both parties seek exclusive rights to her copyrighted works, including the stage name.[46][47][48]

On a Shende Wisdom Talents (捨得智慧人物) episode aired on 27 October 2020, G.E.M. alleged that she had suffered "mental abuse" at Hummingbird.[49][50]
