About 柳應廷

Jeremy Lau Ying-ting (Chinese: 柳應廷; born 20 November 1992), known professionally as Jer, is a Hong Kong singer, actor, and a member of the Hong Kong boy group Mirror. Apart from his group activities, Jer has also pursued a solo singing career, winning Best New Performer at the Metro Hit Awards, the Ultimate Song Chart Awards, the Chinese Gold Song Awards, and the Chill Club 20/21 Awards. In 2018, Jer quit his reporting job to audition for ViuTV's reality talent competition Good Night Show - King Maker, and finished in top 20. While only the top 10 finalists were guaranteed a contract with ViuTV, Jer managed to catch the attention of producer Ahfa Wong, who encouraged him to try out for the boy group Mirror. Jer initially declined, but was ultimately convinced. The group debuted on 3 November 2018 with the single "In a Second" (Chinese: 一秒間). Jer had started his solo career with his debut single, the soft rock ballad "Water Story" (Chinese: 水刑物語) was released on February 29, 2020. "Water Story" peaked at number three on the Ultimate 903 Chart, RTHK Chinese Pop Chart and number four on Metro Radio Pop Chart. His second single "Back Lights Story" (Chinese: 迴光物語), released in August, achieved commercial success, peaking at number one on the Ultimate 903 Chart and ViuTV's Chill Club Chart. He is the eighth artist in history to have a number one single on the Ultimate 903 chart during his debut year. Jer again collaborated with singer-songwriter Ng Lam Fung and lyricist Siu Hak on his fourth solo single "Madman's Diary" (Chinese: 狂人日記) released March 17, 2021. Jer remarked that "Madman's Diary" is a tribute to legendary rock band Queen and their song "Bohemian Rhapsody", noting that he wanted to bring something unconventional into the Cantopop scene. The song is also the first of three songs, named the rebirth trilogy. The progressive rock single topped the Ultimate 903, the Chinese Pop Chart, and the Chill Club Chart. His fifth single, "Sand's Ware" (砂之器) was released on July 16, 2021. On August 18 it peaked at number one on the Ultimate 903 music chart. On October 13, Jer released his seventh single "Stellar Moments of Humankind" (Chinese: 人類群星閃耀時). The song takes the same Chinese title as the history book Decisive Moments in History (German: Sternstunden der Menschheit) by Stefan Zweig. Produced by Carl Wong, the song serves as the conclusion to the rebirth trilogy. On January 26, 2022, Lau's new single "MM7" was released to streaming platforms and radio stations.
