Tsang, Wing Han (æ›¾è© éŸ“), popularly known simply as Wing, is a New Zealand citizen originally from Hong Kong. Having taken up singing as a hobby after arriving in her new homeland, Wing gained an audience by entertaining patients at nursing homes and hospitals in and around Auckland. This prompted suggestions that she release a CD; the result was a debut entitled Phantom of the Opera, featuring the title song from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, and a selection of other popular tunes—all of them unencumbered by typical musical conventions like harmony, pitch and rhythm—to the accompaniment of a programmed synthesizer.
