Moon Tang (born 17 May 1999) is a Hong Kong singer-songwriter. She is known for her dreamy, lo-fi aesthetic, blend of pop, R&B, and indie genres, and her candid, emotional songwriting in both Cantonese and English. She gained prominence for her viral covers and original songs shared on social media, leading to a record deal with Warner Music Hong Kong.
Moon Tang was born Tang Hoi Man (鄧凱文) on 17 May 1999 in Hong Kong.[1] She is of Thai-Chinese descent.[1] Tang began her musical journey by singing in competitions in secondary school and initially explored interests in visual art and even considered a career in acting or musicals.[1]
She studied Communication Design at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.[1] During her university exchange in Copenhagen, she began writing her own songs, feeling a need to express her emotions beyond covering other artists' work. Her first original song was "Get Lost."[1]
Career
Tang gained initial recognition through her social media presence, where she uploaded cover songs and eventually her own original compositions. Her cover of Mavis Hee's "King Sing" (傾城, lit. 'Astonishing City') in a video about Hong Kong's disappearing neon signs garnered over a million views on YouTube.[1]
She released her debut EP, Dear Moon, in 2020 through SEEAHOLE. In 2021, she collaborated with Gareth.T on the single "Honest", which became a major hit, accumulating over 15 million streams on Spotify.
In 2022, Tang signed with Warner Music Hong Kong, marking a significant step in her career.[1] She continued to release popular singles like "Lately" and "i hate u". In 2023, she released the album WATER COMES OUT OF MY EYES.
Her debut full-length album, 25, was released in March 2025.[2] The album explores themes of self-discovery and the complexities of adulthood, featuring collaborations with artists like Marf Yau, Sam Ock, and Gordon Flanders.
