Background
Eman Lam is the sister of Hong Kong based singer-songwriter and musician Chet Lam. Probably influenced by her brother, she began performing music early in life. She sang in some of the song demos composed by Chet Lam, which gained her initial attention from music production company People Mountain People Sea's director Anthony Wong Yiu Ming.
In 2000, Lam met Ellen Joyce Loo at "Original Music 2000" (原音2000), a singing competition in Hong Kong. After the competition, she started performing with Loo at university campuses and tertiary institutions. The team again drew attention from Ming, who decided to sign them under his music production company and later became at17.
In contrast with Ellen Joyce Loo (who has been writing songs which incline more toward Cantopop), Eman Lam’s songs seem to show an inclination toward more varieties of styles including folk, jazz, and blues.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
