Folktronica and cantopop singer Ellen Joyce Loo who initially found fame and success as part of the band at17 and later as a solo artist was found dead today in Happy Valley.
Sadly it appears the 32 year old singer known for her upbeat and optimistic songs about female and LGBT issues committed suicide.
Loo was born in Toronto and moved to Hong Kong when she was four. In 2001 at the age of 15, she co-formed the popular band, at17, with Eman Lam Yee-man. The critically acclaimed and popular band split in 2010 with Loo releasing several successful albums as a solo artist.
Thank you Ellen for your music, you’ll be sadly missed.
