Denise Ho, a.k.a. Hocc, Hong Kong born Singer-Songwriter, spent the teenage years in Canada, moved back to Hong Kong to kickstart her music career in 1996. 
 The only female disciple of the late Canto-pop Diva Anita Mui, Hocc won the New Talent Singing Awards in 1996, which led to a four year period of inactiveness with the label Capital Artists, until she released her first album in 2001. 
 A rebellious soul at heart, she has released over 15 albums since her first EP "First" in 2001, with hit songs such as "Woodgrain", "Rolls Royce" and "How the steel was tempered". She has joined and left major labels, including Capital Artists, EMI and East Asia, and proceeded in establishing her own independent label Goomusic in 2015. With four major coliseum concerts, various cantonese and mandarin albums on record, she is one of the most influential female artists from Hong Kong since the turn of the 2000 era. 
 Hocc produces her own albums and concerts, including two theatre pieces, "The Butterfly Lovers" (2005) and "Awakening" (2011) which earned wide acclaim from the public and critics. 
 On a activism side note, Hocc was the first mainstream female singer in Hong Kong to have come out publicly in 2012. Her participance in the Umbrella movement in 2014 changed her path as a singer-songwriter, as she was banned and blacklisted in Mainland China, she has since diverted her attention to creating original ways of surviving in the HK music industry.
