After university studies in London, her passion for music led to an offer from a record company which brought her back to Asian entertainment.  She soon became a household name in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and elsewhere in Asia in her dual career as actress/singer.  She first starred in Wong Kar Wai's "Fallen Angels," for which she won two Best Supporting Actress awards in 1995 - the HK Film Academy Award and the Golden Bauhinia Award.  Many other memorable roles followed, especially in Asia's number one comedic actor/director Stephen Chow's films like "God of Cookery," "King of Comedy," and "Shaolin Soccer," which led to more acting nominations, giving firm recognition to her acting talent.  Karen recently starred in Columbia Pictures Asia's female actioner "So Close" which was widely released across Asia, and also made her first on-screen appearance with Jackie Chan in "The Twins Effects." "Around the World in 80 Days" marks her first foray into Hollywood.

In music, her many accolades include being the first ever Hong Kong born artist to win Taiwan's coveted Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer 2003. The same year in mainland China, Karen was presented with the MTV/CCTV Award for Best Female Singer (HK), a major award, which makes her the undisputed reigning queen of "Mando-pop."
