Born in Shanghai and raised in Hong Kong, G.E.M. is known for her vocal performances, autobiographical songwriting, and musical versatility. She is recognized as a leading figure in Chinese popular music and among the most known artists in the Greater China region.

G.E.M. debuted under Hummingbird Music in 2008 with the release of her self-titled Cantonese extended play, ''G.E.M.'', which won her the gold award for best newcomer at three major award ceremonies in Hong Kong. Her debut studio album, ''18...'' (2009), was recorded in both Mandarin and Cantonese and was named one of the top ten best-selling records in the territory in 2009. ''Xposed'' (2012) was named the best-selling Mandarin album of the year and made her the youngest nominee for Best Female Mandarin Singer in the history of the Golden Melody Awards. In 2014, her appearance on the Chinese singing competition ''I Am a Singer 2'' gained her immense popularity in Greater China.

G.E.M. subsequently released her first Mandarin studio album, titled ''Heartbeat'' (2015), which produced the singles "Long Distance", "Goodbye", and "Away". The following year, she released the single "Light Years Away" as the Chinese theme song for the film ''Passengers'', which remains the most viewed music video by a Chinese artist on YouTube. In March 2019, G.E.M. departed from Hummingbird after 11 years following a highly-publicized contractual dispute, and subsequently launched her own company G-Nation.
