Femme Genre



Through Music category from RFHK Talent Development Scheme, 3 young females will make their voices heard. From a female perspective, Yi, Wynne and Vincy will observe and discuss issues that females are dealing with every day, using 3 different languages: Putonghua, Cantonese and English. As females, wherever you are from, we face same situations--gender stereotype, unfair treatment in reality and so on. We express our feelings and opinions through music, decorating evil with humor and wrapping sorrow with cheers.

The 3 EPs will be released in early 2015.
