Joyce Cheng Yan-yee (born 30 May 1987) is a singer and actress from Hong Kong.
Career
Cheng, the daughter of renowned Hong Kong entertainers Lydia Shum and Adam Cheng, was brought up by her mother following their separation. She attracted media spotlight due to her challenges with weight and authored a memoir titled My Weight Loss Diary, which details her fitness transformation beginning at age 16.
In 2005, she took on the role of Snow White during the inauguration event of Hong Kong Disneyland. Her debut music video, "Depend on Myself" (), came out in 2006, and she launched her first album in 2011.
Her acting career commenced in 2008 with a recurring part in TVB’s sitcom Off Pedder, where she also performed the opening theme. Subsequently, she appeared in the drama Isolated Seven Day Romance.
The 2015 release of her single "Are You Skinny Enough?" () tackled issues of body image and earned positive reviews. The following year, "Girl God" () emerged as her major hit, gaining extensive acclaim and multiple music accolades. She continued to release singles such as “@princejoyce” in 2021 and hosted her inaugural concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum in 2018. After concluding her contract with TVB in 2017, she established her own record label, Passion Fruit Records, in 2018.
Cheng has been on a break since 2023. She was scheduled to make a comeback on Hunan TV’s Singer series in July 2025 but withdrew due to injuries sustained to her face and shoulder during a promotional shoot.
