    When mentioning Niki Chow, everyone will associate her with Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh's love triangle. Niki has never admitted to the relationship. However you can tell by her behaviour as in the past when Kevin was mentioned she would be all sweet. But now if his name is mentioned she would instantly react with a displeased look. You do not need to go into details as it's quite obvious.

    Do you feel that she is pitiful? I don‘t feel that since Niki is still filming series for TVB and still the big sister as in main lead. She has support from her record company and releasing her latest album "Redefine Niki". Also the support from a group of assistants. When she returns home she gets encouragement and support from her parents. Loved by so many, Niki is really a precious little princess.

    Change of Production Team

    Niki's Songs such as "Pity he has a girlfriend", "Greeting Heartbreak", "Mister Question Mark" have always been directed to the karaoke path. But there is a big change of direction in her new album. Her first single "Guessing Lantern Riddles" taken from the new album is a fast tempo dance track. "I have never worked with the people who produced my new album before. Such as Chet Lam, Khalil Fong, Keith Chan Fai Young and Yeung Jan Bong. So the songs are different. The song "Guessing Latern Riddles" is a song that people may need to get used to. People may feel that Niki needs to continue to sing Karaoke type of songs and would be better singing girly songs. But I personally feel that its quite fun. Different producers can find out different things about you. Although it’s taken me 2 years to produce an album. But I have worked hard on this album. It has helped me develop. "


    Learning to become a Producer/Singer

    Niki has been shooting drama's one after the other. Last year she went to Mainland to film "The Book and Sword" series. She entered the mainland industry and it has taken her 2 years to release an album. Niki frankly said "I have used half of my time earning money. I am originally an actress turned singer. As for the market at the moment, you cannot depend on album sales to earn money. I need to depend on acting and advertisements in order to earn a living. But when I filmed the mainland series "The Book and Sword". I was given the chance to write the lyrics for the sub theme. I am really happy about that. In the past I attempted to write Cantonese lyrics but I didn’t think it was good enough. That's why it was never released. This time I wrote Mandarin lyrics and felt it was easier. I felt that the lyrics the team wrote weren't great so attempted to try myself. In the end the two version's of lyrics were combined into one song. When I was recording the song, I still altered the lyrics. Also when the lyrics were to be printed off I still felt the urge to alter them. Virgo's are people who are quite stubborn."

    It's not a bad thing to be stubborn, as this helped Niki get into producing and songwriting for her album. As well as learning to write lyrics Niki also started to learn to play the drums and piano. "Not sure whether its to do with getting old but I find that I have no strength in playing the piano with my hands. My little finger can never hit the key. But I will adapt to it. I hope one day I can perform on stage." Niki works very hard and her intention is to show people that she is very serious about her music.

    Resists being a Princess

    Looking back at Niki's career to date in the Television and the music industry, she is very lucky. She didn't have to wait long to become a female lead. Also the roles are always likeable. As for the music industry, Niki joined her record company early and is very popular among her colleagues. She is also considered as Big sister status in the company. Just like a princess, likeable and loved by thousands.

    But when Niki heard the comment about being like a princess, she resisted "I personally don't think of people on different levels. You should treat everyone the same. A princess is someone that needs people to adapt to her. Who doesn't want to be loved more? But there are many different types of Princesses. Such as an Cute princess and a Bad Princess. If you feel that I am an cute princess then Thank you. But I want to be a princess that brings happiness to others, that everyone likes. I will be fair and evenly matched to everyone else. A ordinary princess."

    Take care of her family

    To be loved by so many people, Niki should be grateful. "These things you can only encounter and not request for. I thank all of them and will cherish them. I will treat everyone nicely just like friends. For my fans I will improve my singing and release better albums. For fans who like my acting, I will do my best to improve. As for my family, I will earn more money. I hope to continue to be a good daughter and spend more time with them."

    "I am someone who takes care of my family and it's very important to me. No matter how busy I am I will insist to live with my family. One day I will get married, but right now I have the responsibility to be a good daughter. Perhaps we only see each other for a few hours. At home we pass by each other but at least we have seen each other for a moment. They know what I am up to. My parents just want these kind of things. I will do my best, whatever they require I will give to them."
