Lai works closely with the a cappella group C AllStar. She always plays keyboards in their concerts, so she has earned the name 'the 5th member of C AllStar'.[1]
In 2012, Lai was awarded the fourth 'Joseph Koo New Generation Award' at the Annual CASH Awards Presentation. In 2010, her hit song 'Love Stairs' (天梯 Tianti) was one of the top ten gold songs[3][4] at the 2010 RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards as well as TVB Jade Solid Gold Best Ten Music Awards. In 2011, 'Lover Stairs' also won the Best Melody as well as the CASH Best Song award at the CASH Golden Sail Music Awards presentation. As of March 2015, the viewership of the official Music Video of 'Love Stairs' exceeded 10 million, which tops all the Cantopop Music Videos.[5]
