Gloria Tang Tsz-kei (simplified Chinese: 邓紫棋; traditional Chinese: 鄧紫棋; pinyin: Dèng Zǐqí; Jyutping: Dang6 Zi2 Kei4; born August 16, 1991) is a Chinese singer-songwriter based in Hong Kong. She is better known by her stage name G.E.M., an acronym for Get Everybody Moving. She made her music debut in 2008 with the self-titled EP GEM. She has since become one of Hong Kong's best-selling musical artists, winning IFPI Hong Kong's Top Selling Female Artist award in 2012.
G.E.M. gained popularity in Greater China after her appearance on Hunan Television's programme I Am a Singer (season 2) in 2014. Her fan base also extends to the United States, Canada, Australia, Norway and Southeast Asia; the same year, she won the Favorite Asian Act award at the 2014 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. In 2015, she was ranked eleventh in Forbes' China Celebrity List.
In 2016, she concluded a two-year world tour titled X.X.X. Live, and was the only Asian artist featured in Forbes' 30 Under 30: Music shortlist.
Gloria Tang Sze-wing was born in Shanghai, and at the age of four she migrated to what was then British Hong Kong. She grew up with a musical background, with her mother being a graduate of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, her uncle playing violin, her grandfather playing saxophone in an orchestra, and her grandmother teaching her how to sing. She appeared on Educational Television in Hong Kong (by then a special administrative region of China) at the age of seven, at which age she was already writing songs and entering school singing competitions. At the age of thirteen she achieved grade eight in piano.
