Cass Phang (Chinese: 彭羚, born 2 February 1969) is a retired Cantopop singer from Hong Kong, affiliated with EMI in 1993–1998 and since then with Sony Music Entertainment. She was born in Hong Kong, studied at Munsang College and a high school in Australia. In September 1998, she married Hong Kong actor and pop singer Jan Lamb, a member of musical rap duo DJSofthard. She gave birth to two daughters in 2000 and 2004.
Phang was first spotted as a backing singer for Louis Yuen, and signed to Rock Records in 1990. In December of that same year she released her debut album, With Love, which included the track Let's Stay Awhile, a cover of Janet Jackson's Let's Wait Awhile. However, it was only with her second album, Love, Pain, I'm Still Waiting (愛過痛過亦願等) that she began to garner some success, when the title song was recognised in the Billboard Awards.
Her third album, Like First Love (彷彿是初戀) was released in 1992. The title song was a cover of Paula Abdul's hugely successful hit, Rush Rush. In 1993 she released her fourth album, SEE FOR CASS, her last album with Rock Records, which featured her talent for a cappella. During these early years she became known for her sweet voice and wide vocal range.
In 1993, Phang signed to EMI, releasing her fifth album, So Beautiful...To Be With You(有著你…多麼美), which included her first foray into more dance orientated tracks.
In 1994, she released her first compilation Unfinished Novel(未完的小說), which included the new single, Let Me Go With You(讓我跟你走), on which Eric Moo laid down vocals for. This proved to be a huge success, and her breakthrough album. Later the same year she released her first Mandarin language album, My Eyes...My Tears(我的眼．我的淚), intended for the Taiwanese market.
