Ferren "Coco" Lee (Chinese: 李玟; 17 January 1975 – 5 July 2023) was a Hong Kong musician, actress, dancer, and singer.[1][2] Her career began in Hong Kong and later expanded to Taiwan and internationally.[1][2][3] Lee released 18 studio albums, two live albums, and five compilation albums, including her first English-language album, Just No Other Way.[4][5]
Her single "Do You Want My Love" received international attention, entering the top 50 of the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart and the Australian Singles Chart.[6][7] Lee performed "A Love Before Time" from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the 73rd Academy Awards, becoming the first Chinese American to perform at the Academy Awards.[3][8] She was also the first Chinese American singer to sing at the NBA games, the first Asian to have concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the first Chinese ambassador for Chanel.[9]
Early life
Ferren Lee was born in Hong Kong on 17 January 1975,[10][11] the daughter of a Hongkonger mother.[12][13] She had two elder sisters, Nancy, a Hong Kong actress who later also became her manager, and Carol.[14] Her father died before she was born. When she was nine, her mother brought her and her sisters to live in San Francisco,[15] where she attended Presidio Middle School and Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School.[16] She was crowned Miss Teen Chinatown San Francisco in 1991 when she was 16.[17][18]
Lee participated in a karaoke singing contest in order to pay for the damage she made to her mom’s car when she was 17, and she won. She entered it a second time as it was so enjoyable and she won again.[19]
After graduating from high school in 1993,[17] she was offered a recording contract in Hong Kong and attempted to juggle her burgeoning career there with her studies at the University of California, Irvine,[19] but eventually left after her freshman year to concentrate on her pop career.[20][15]
Career
Career beginnings and Sony Music: 1993–1998
During the summer of 1993, Lee returned to Hong Kong to see her sisters participate in the Miss Hong Kong Pageant. While there, she took part in the 12th Annual New Talent Singing Awards and was the first runner-up,[17][21][22] singing Whitney Houston's Run to You.[23][24] The following day, Capital Artists offered her a recording contract.[23]
Lee made her debut on compilation albums including Red Hot Hits '93 Autumn Edition (火熱動感93勁秋版).[25] In 1994, she released her first solo albums in Mandarin, Love from Now On (愛就要趁現在) and Promise Me (答應我), with Fancy Pie Records.[26][25] Her English language cover album, Brave Enough to Love, and her third Mandarin album, Woman in Love (被愛的女人), were released the following year.[26][25]
In 1996, Lee signed with Sony Music Entertainment.[26] Her next album, Coco Lee, became the best-selling album of 1996 in Asia.[15] The following year, she released her Mandarin album Sincere as well as a self-titled Cantonese album.[26] In 1998, the Mandarin album Di Da Di was released, selling 1 million copies in less than 3 months.[26]
International collaborations and English debut: 1998–2005
From her next album Sunny Day, "Colors" was used for the opening of the Football World Cup, and the song "The Answer" (答案) for the Chinese movie Bishonen. In 1998, she was hired by Walt Disney Pictures to sing the theme song "Reflection" (自己) and voice Fa Mulan in the Mandarin version of Mulan.[27][15]
In August 1998, Coco performed in Taiwan to a concert audience of more than 50,000 fans, the second-largest concert audience in Taiwan, exceeded only by Michael Jackson.[28] She also performed in Michael Jackson's "Michael Jackson and friends" charity concert.[29][30] In 1999, under 550 Music, Lee made her debut Just No Other Way, which included the hit, "Do You Want My Love".[18] Her love song "Before I Fall in Love" was included in the soundtrack of the movie Runaway Bride.[29] She also recorded a duet called "Can't Get Over" with singer Kelly Price. Lee recorded the charity singles "We meet the future" and "Hand in hand" for SARS with other artists including Wang Leehom, Stefanie Sun, Elva Hsiao, and Jolin Tsai.[25] In Asia, she released a Mandarin album You & Me. By 2000 she had released 20 albums in Asia and had sold 7.5 million copies of her albums on that continent.[31]
In 2001, Lee sang the song "A Love Before Time" for the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which she performed at the Oscars.[29] Her album Promise Coco was released in October 2001. In 2002, Lee released her remix album D. Is Coco (Dance Is Coco). She sang an anti-tobacco song called "From the Beginning 'til the End" (煙絲萬縷) with singer Jacky Cheung.[25] Lee sang the US national anthem at the National Basketball Association (NBA) debut of Yao Ming, a Chinese basketball superstar, in 2002, making her the first Chinese-American singer to sing the anthem at a major international sporting event.[32] She also sang the anti-racism song "A Dream of One" with Korean singer Jin Young Park. In 2003, she performed with Shaggy at the "MTV Asia Awards" in Singapore and also presented the show with him.[33]
Lee co-starred in the Chinese comedy movie Master of Everything (自娱自乐) with John Lone, which won the Best Foreign Film award in the 2005 Beverly Hills Film Festival.[34] In 2004, as the Youth AIDS ambassador, she attended the global AIDS conference in Bangkok, Thailand as the representative of the Asian artists to meet various youth groups discussing what she could do to educate them about AIDS.[34]
Second English album and Warner Music: 2005–2011
In 2005, Sony BMG released her second English album, Exposed. The album was banned in Mainland China for sexy lyrics in a few songs such as Touch or So Good.[35] Lee's next Mandarin album, Just Want You (要定你), was released on 22 September 2006. In 2008, Lee was chosen to sing one of the 2008 Summer Olympics' songs, "Forever Friends", opposite Sun Nan.[36]
As the first Asian singer to perform at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Lee had a solo concert there in July 2009, singing some of Michael Jackson's songs in homage to her idol. [37] On 14 August 2009, she released her new Mandarin album East to West (CoCo的東西) with Warner Music Group.[citation needed] It contains the songs "Party time", "Turn" (流轉) which is on the soundtrack of the movie "The Legend of Silkboy" (世博总动员-湖丝仔) for the Shanghai World Expo 2010 and "BYOB" ("Bring Your Own Bag") a song to encourage people to bring and recycle their own shopping bags to save the environment. She recorded the song "Smile Shanghai" (微笑上海) with other artists including JJ Lin, Andy Lau, Jam Hsiao, and Jane Zhang for Shanghai World Expo 2010. On 27 March 2010, Lee began her "East2West" World Tour Concert in Taipei at Taipei Arena. She performed at the Encore Theatre in Wynn Casino in Las Vegas on 3 and 4 July, then in Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore on 2 October,[38] and in Nanning on 16 December. In March 2011, Lee was one of many artists who participated in the recording of "Artists 311 Love Beyond Borders" (愛心無國界311燭光晚會) official theme song called Succumb not to sorrow (不要輸給心痛) for the Cantonese version. On 7 April 2011, her song Dreams on oriental seas (梦在东方的海上) featuring Sun Nan was broadcast. It was named as the theme for the 14th FINA world championships, which took place in Shanghai on 16 July 2011.[39][40]
New album: 2011–2023
On 8 June 2011, Lee announced that had she set up her own studio. On 25 June, her song Four seas alliance (四海盟約), the theme song for the 2011 China television drama All men are brothers (水滸傳), was broadcast. On 17 December 2011, she performed at "Booey Lehoo Concert" in Beijing with will.i.am and apl.de.ap from The Black Eyed Peas, John Legend, and Shunza.[41][14] On 9 February 2012, she performed at the TRANS4M Boyle Heights benefit at Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles with will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas.[42]
Her album Illuminate (盛開) was released on 31 May 2013 with Universal Music.[9]
In 2016, she competed in the fourth season of the Chinese reality show I Am A Singer, although she admitted that losing her voice to bronchitis in 2014 had affected her singing ability.[35] However, she recovered and participated, going on to win the competition, making her the first non-mainland Chinese singer to do so.[43][44] Lee later returned as a guest singer for two more seasons (now rebranded with the new title Singer); on the fifth season during the biennial concert, and on the sixth season as with a guest performer for Jessie J, the eventual winner of that season.[45]
Personal life
Lee married Hong Kong-based Canadian businessman Bruce Rockowitz on 27 October 2011 in Hong Kong in a Jewish ceremony.[46] The wedding included performances by Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys, and Ne-Yo.[47][48] For her wedding, she recorded the song "I Just Wanna Marry U" (Chinese and English version), which was released on 24 October 2011. She had no biological children but had two adult stepdaughters from her husband's previous marriage.[49][47] Bruce was blamed by some for allegedly cheating on Lee in the later period of their marriage. There were reports saying that Lee and her husband had been separated for over two years before she died, and that they were due to sign the divorce papers in July 2023.[50][51]
Health issues and death
Lee was born with an abnormality in her left leg.[29] At the age of two, she underwent surgery which failed to correct the problem, causing her to rely more heavily on her right leg for most of her life.[52] On 8 March 2023, she disclosed to her fans on social media that she had surgery on her pelvis and thigh in Hong Kong, after triggering an old leg injury during a dance rehearsal in October 2022.[29][52] She shared videos of herself learning to walk again with the aid of a walker as well as a nurse.[52] Lee had been suffering from depression for a few years. Her condition deteriorated drastically the few months before her death, despite the fact that she had sought professional help and tried her best to battle the disease.[18]
On 2 July 2023, Lee attempted suicide[53] and was admitted to Queen Mary Hospital in an unconscious state.[54] She died at the hospital three days later, on 5 July 2023, at the age of 48.[55][56][57][58] After her death, Lee’s friend disclosed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. This was confirmed by her sister, added that Lee had undergone surgery to remove the tumour in December 2022.[59][60] [61][62]
Her sister, Nancy, revealed that her funeral would be delayed to at least August, pending an autopsy.[63] As stated in an obituary published by Lee’s family on 21 July 2023, the star’s vigil will be held on July 31 at Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point. There will be a public memorial service from 6pm to 10pm. The funeral service will be livestreamed on Nancy’s YouTube channel at 4pm. The private funeral service will be held at 9am on August 1.[64][65][66][67][68]
