She began her singing career in 1984 when she was signed to CBS/Sony Records. Her first single was I Don’t Know About Love. Sandy Lam has recorded not only with CBS Sony Records in the 1980s, but also with Warner Music, Rock Records (Taiwan’s largest independen­t label), Virgin Records, Capitol Records, EMI Music, and now Universal Music. Lam started her singing career in Hong Kong in the mid80s with a string of up-tempo Japanese style songs. She then issued some “City-Rhythm” R&B tracks. In 1991 she released the ground breaking coming-of-age “Wildflower” album to rave reviews, part of the “unplugged” craze in the Cantopop scene. Lam gained popularity in Taiwan with her debut Mandarin release “Home Again Without You” in 1991. In 1995 she teamed up with Jonathan Lee, Taiwanese music producer, and released her fourth Mandarin album Love, Sandy featuring a hit single “Scars”, which became one of the all-time best selling Chinese language albums. Lam returned to the music scene with a hit single “At Least I Still Have You” from her first album with Virgin in 2000. A Korean remake of the song, sung by Super Junior-M, a subgroup of the K-Pop band Super Junior, was released in their Me album titled Dangsinigi­e in 2008. In December 2001 she released a Mandarin-language album entitled “Truly Sandy”, on which she co-wrote four songs. In the same year, Lam appeared as cast member of an Andrew Lloyd Webber concert Masterpiec­e, which also featured West End and Broadway star Elaine Paige and China’s all-time best-selling recording artist Kris Phillips. This concert was sold out with an audience of over 17,700 people. Lam has won many awards in the course of her career, including Best Regional Performing Female Artist, Best Album, Best Female Vocalist, the Asia Pacific Most Outstandin­g Female Artist, and an honorary Music Award for her contributi­ons to the music industry. Lam won a total of four awards at the 24th Golden Melody Awards in 2013.
