Alfred Hui Ting-hang (born 29 April 1988) is a male singer from Hong Kong . He is a contract-based male artist of Television Broadcast Limited. He has studied Secondary 1 to 5 at St. Joseph's College and Secondary 6 to 7 at German Swiss International School (German: Deutsch-Schweizerische Internationale Schule). He holds a bachelor's degree in Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, and holds dentistry license. His father was the vice-chairman of Hong Kong Kidney Foundation.
In 2009, Alfred Hui participated in the first season of “The Voice” (超級巨聲), a singing contest held by Television Broadcast Limited (TVB), the city's prominent television broadcaster, and formally began his singing career after signing a contract with the broadcaster. As one of the judges on "The Voice", Gary Chaw (曹格) is also a prominent and highly regarded singer in East Asia. His remark on how Alfred bears the resemblance of yet another fellow pop-star named Wu Chun (吳尊) from Brunei, whose record label and management is based in Taiwan, has led Alfred to gain extra publicity. Since then, Alfred was then referred to as the “Wu Chun of Tseung Kwan O” (將軍澳吳尊). Tseung Kwan O is where the broadcaster's studios are located. Alfred then joined Stars Shine (星煥國際) in 2011 and is pursuing an independent development in the pop-music circuit. Within half of the year, two individual CD albums of Alfred Hui’s songs were issued to the pop-music market. His representational songs include “Departure” (出走) and “Ant” (螞蟻). Many music lovers cherish Alfred’s songs, and this enabled him to obtain Champions from several radio channels in Hong Kong. Later on, Alfred Hui obtained “The King of the Young Singer Award” in “The Four Major Music Media Prize-Giving Ceremony for the Hong Kong Pop Music Circuit” in 2011, “903 Music Gold Award for Young Singer” granted by Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Corporation Limited in 2011, "Gold Award for Young Singer" granted by “The 34th Ten Distinguished Chinese Golden Music Prize-Giving Concert” in Radio Television Hong Kong in 2011, and “The Gold Award for the Most Favorite New Male Singer” granted by Television Broadcast Limited in 2011.
