Leo Ku Kui-kei (born 18 August 1972), founder of ChillGOOD TV, is a Hong Kong Cantopop and Mandopop singer, actor, TV host, model, cartoonist, MV director, and producer and designer. He employs falsetto as a singing technique and was named as one of the "Five Fresh Tigers of TVB".

Career

Ku paid passengers' fares to take the red minibus from Sai Wan to Tsuen Wan for free.

Joining TVB in 1991, Ku has released over 35 albums and he has won nearly 300 male singer and music awards over the course of his career.

In addition to Ku's career in Hong Kong, between 2000 and 2003, he played the male lead in two television drama series in mainland China, Romance in the Rain and My Fair Princess III: Heavenly Earth.

Ku's most famous Mandarin Chinese song is "Really Want" (好想好想), the theme song for the drama series Romance in the Rain. The song was broadcast across China. His best known Canto-pop song is "Never Too Late" which appeared on many year-end lists about the best songs of 2006 in Hong Kong. Ku was also selected to be the first host and a contestant in the third season of the Chinese version of I Am a Singer.
