Wing (singer)
Wing Han Tsang (born 1960), known professionally as Wing, is a Hong Kong–born New Zealand singer. She started singing as a hobby after moving to New Zealand and began by entertaining patients in nursing homes and hospitals around Auckland. Her nursing-home performances led to a CD debut, Phantom of the Opera, which featured the title song from the musical and other popular tunes played with a programmed electronic keyboard. Although her style is unconventional and often called outsider music, it gained an international audience through a string of cover recordings.
Wing has appeared on TV shows such as SportsCafe and Rove Live. She even guest‑starred on South Park in a 2005 episode named after her; the creators noted she had to approve her likeness for the episode and later thanked her for boosting sales.
She has performed at various New Zealand events, including Massey University orientations in Wellington, and she joined the 2008 South by Southwest festival. On May 11, 2008, Wing performed on the BBC Introducing stage at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, singing ABBA’s Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia, as well as Elton John’s Candle in the Wind. Scott Mills personally funded her trip to perform there.
In June 2008 she appeared on NZ Music TV channel C4’s Rocked the Nation, singing “Pokarekare Ana.” Wing toured the United States in late 2009, with shows at Birdland Jazz Club in New York City (October 25–26) and the Rrazz Room in San Francisco (November 2).
Wing announced her retirement from music in 2015.
