Early life

Loo was born in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia, and is the elder of two daughters. She began to take singing lessons when she was 10 years old, and enrolled in numerous singing competitions in the Asia Pacific region since the age of 6. Her family emigrated to Singapore when she was 12 years old both for her higher education and her father's job posting to Singapore. She graduated with a Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level from Riverside Secondary School. [2]

Career

She rose to fame in 2013 when she participated in and won the fourth season of Campus SuperStar , one of the Chinese singing competitions held in Singapore. [3] Her victory made the series' history since the show began in 2006 as the first female winner, [3] and her grand prize included a two-year Mediacorp management contract, $5,000 cash and the opportunity to perform with Taiwan-based singer Ding Dang in Glass Anatomy The Musical.

In November 2013, Loo announced that she would be starring in Singaporean television series C.L.I.F. 3 as Yang Hongxi, the daughter of Terence Cao's role, and would be part of a Chinese New Year compilation album in a song together with Julie Tan, Jayley Woo, Ian Fang and Shane Pow in 2014. [5]


At the Star Awards 2021, Loo obtained her first Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award. [6]

Music career
