Edison Chen (Traditional Chinese: 陳冠希; Pinyin: Chén Gūanxī; Cantonese: Chan Kwoon Hei; born October 7, 1980 in Vancouver, Canada) is a popular Hong Kong teen idol. He was an artist of the Emperor Entertainment Group (EEG). Edison Chen’s contract with EEG ended in 2005.



Born in Vancouver, Canada, Edison is of Chinese descent on both sides but his father is of ¼ Portuguese ancestry, as his father is a Macanese.

Edison Chen was born on October 7th, 1980. Raised in Vancouver and New York, he now lives in Hong Kong and currently works in Asian Cinema, Music and Fashion. He owns a lifestyle company named CLOT, which works with labels and artists from all around the world gathering them all together in unison in the Greater Asian region, although they are based in the Hong Kong region. Seemingly this is the first venture of this sort of cause in Hong Kong. Edison’s official online blog states that “He is just a normal everyday guy like you, but only his job is to entertain…”

Prior to his music career, he went to High School in Hong Kong International School (HKIS) in the class of 1998. He also attended high school at R.C Palmer Secondary School in Richmond, BC. He was considered a poor student among many teachers at both schools. Some of his peers said that he always skipped classes and was considered somewhat anti-social.
