Michael Cheung Tin-fu, aka MC Cheung Tin-fu, isn’t your usual Canto-pop success story. A former busker, the singer found fame as runner-up of the 2019 talent competition reality show King Maker II—and then turned down the prize of a record deal. He has since topped local charts with his album This is MC and single Pillow Talk, and has become the third most popular Hong Kong artist on Spotify.
