DENG Ziqi's meteoric rise to fame is nothing short of a fairytale. The Shanghai-born Hong Kong singer-songwriter, who is better known by her stage moniker GEM (Get Everybody Moving) released her self-titled debut in 2008 but stayed largely unknown outside of Hong Kong until she participated in mainland Chinese reality TV programme I Am a Singer in 2014.
Her girl-next-door appeal and impressive pipes captured everybody's imagination and even though she only emerged runner-up, GEM has gone on to become a bona fide star - a journey which was chronicled in her biographical rockumentary G-Force released earlier this year.
"The Chinese Taylor Swift", as she's nicknamed, was the only Asian musician to land on Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2016, following a No 11 placing on Forbes China Celebrity 100 list in 2015.
