Kelly Poon (born 11 July 1983) is a Singaporean singer, songwriter and actress who was the runner-up on the first season of the Project SuperStar singing competition held in Singapore.
Early life
Poon attended Huamin Primary School and Yishun Town Secondary School. She later graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a Diploma in Maritime Transport Management in 2004.
Career
After graduation in 2004, Poon became an air stewardess with Singapore Airlines.
She auditioned for Project SuperStar in April 2005 and was eliminated in the fourth quarter-final, but was back on stage following sufficient public votes in the revival round. She supposedly impressed both the critics and the judges with her on-stage personality and versatility, and then came in second in the Grand Finals of Project Superstar[1] whilst securing a recording deal with Universal Music.
She released her first album Love Me, Kelly on 14 February 2006 in Singapore. Later, Poon signed a management contract with Yao Chien and released her second album In the Heart of the World in Singapore and Taiwan. Her third album, Smiling Kelly, was released on 22 October 2008 in Taiwan. By the end of 2010, she ended her contract with Yao Chien and signed with Rock Records in the same year, releasing her fourth album Super Kelly on 29 July 2011 in Taiwan and 3 August 2011 in Singapore.
In 2013, Poon hosted her first television show 女人我最大 新加坡, working with Pauline Lan.
Poon moved to Mode Entertainment in Singapore and Cosmos Entertainment in Taiwan in 2014. Her EP Miss Kelly was released in July 2014. Poon was appointed as spokesperson of casual clothing brand dENiZEN in 2015.[2] Her most recent Album Miss Kelly was released in July 2014, consisting of her compositions too. In the same year, Kelly was awarded an Singapore Golden Melody Award and also won an award at the Global Chinese Music Awards. She then also acted in a movie with Tender Huang in 2017.
Personal life
Poon revealed that she suffers from keloid problems, where she scars easily after a wound heals, "if a mosquito bites me, it takes very long for the bite to heal".[3] Her mother is known to constant worry about Poon's well-being.[4] On 24 February 2020, Poon registered her marriage to Template:Interlanguage link, a Taiwanese music producer-songwriter.[5] In August 2023, it was announced that the couple was expecting their first child, a boy.[6]
