Juno Mak

Juno Mak (; born 18 March 1984) is a Hong Kong singer, record producer, actor, and director. He made his musical debut in 2002 with the EP ''On the Road.'' His albums have won Best Record three times at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation.

He made his directorial debut with the horror film '' Rigor Mortis'' in 2013.

Career

Music

Mak began his music career as a pop singer with Universal Music. Two albums, ''On the Road'' and ''Next Step'', were released with Universal Music. Both albums reached the top spot on TVB. Although he won awards upon his debut, it was later rumoured that his fans were hired professional groupies earning up to HKD150 an hour, and in 2002 he was booed by audience members during an awards ceremony.

Mak's 2015 EP ''Addendum'' spawned the number one singles "Unforgettable" (念念不忘), "Imperfection" (瑕疵), and the award-winning duet "Rashōmon" (羅生門), a duet with Kay Tse.

Film

In 2010, Mak wrote and starred in Wong Ching-po's film '' Revenge: A Love Story''. The film was a hybrid of slasher and love story. Mak and Wong Ching-po collaborated again in 2011 on the film '' Let's Go!''.

In 2013, Mak directed the film '' Rigor Mortis'', which pays tribute to the 1980s Jiangshi genre. In 2015, it was announced Mak would direct the crime thriller ''Sons of the Neon Night.''

Anti-graft investigation

In 2003, Mak, his father, and a number of music executives from TVB and Universal Music HK were arrested as part of an investigation into an alleged bribes-for-awards scam. The case was eventually withdrawn with no charges made.

Personal life

Mak is the second son of Clement Mak, the chairman of CCT Fortis Holdings Limited.
