There are many things that China and Singapore have in common, and one of them is music.

Many Singaporean singers have pursued their musical career both at home and here in the Chinese mainland, as well as in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Here are just a few.

Singaporean singer Kit Chan has worked in many areas since her debut in 1993, including music, theater, television, composing, creative direction, community work and even entrepreneurship. Chan is without a doubt the most successful singer in Singapore, as she enjoys the title of Singapore's "national treasure" in music.

Chan has enjoyed success in Taiwan and Hong Kong more than she did in the Chinese mainland, until she participated in the hit television show I am a singer earlier this year. Her years of theater training and delicate and smooth vocals became an immediate sensation among viewers.
