"The handwritten signs on minibuses and the patterned mosaic tiles in cha chaan teng are two unique features of Hong Kong. Surprisingly, these two elements fit perfectly well with skateboards which symbolise the pursuit of the extreme and breaking the convention. Nevertheless, it requires countless trials of mixes and matches to trigger such chemistry. I hope this skateboard can serve the same purpose as my music in getting everybody moving and motivating them to leap forward." - G.E.M.


Debuted at the age of 16, G.E.M., a female singer-songwriter, immediately won the three major new artist awards in Hong Kong. By the age of 25, she completed over 100 solo concerts. In 2016, she was the only Asian musician ranked on the list of the brightest stars in the music industry of the “Forbes 30 Under 30”. Two years later, she became the only Chinese listed on “BBC 100 Women 2018”. She was invited as the finale performer in the NASA 2019 Breakthrough Prize, aka Oscars of Science, in the same year, in which she performed her original song Light Years Away. The song became the first Chinese song that reaches 200 million views on YouTube in 2019. G.E.M. came to be the first Chinese female singer having three songs with over 100 million views on YouTube in 2020.

「手寫小巴牌和舊式茶餐廳的紙皮石花紋地磚,是香港獨有的傳統,搭配在追求極限、突破常規的滑板上,效果竟然出奇地合拍。但火花的確需要不斷碰撞才能產生,希望這塊滑板也能像我的音樂,鼓勵大家帶著自己的文化不斷創新、突破,Get Everybody Moving。」── G.E.M.鄧紫棋
