Leo Ku Kui Kei (古巨基) (born August 18, 1972) is a Hong Kong Cantopop singer and actor. He was an entertainment news programme (娛樂新聞眼) presenter at TVB as well as hosting the music show Jade Solid Gold from 1992 before releasing his first album (愛的解釋) on 1994 to become a Cantopop singer. He is one of the few Cantopop artists that employs the use of falsetto (假音). Because of this, many people including David Tao have praised his unique talent.
One of his best songs "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" (歡樂今宵) released on 1997 earned him various musical awards most notable the Silver Male pop singer by Commercial Radio. However, his singing career was stalled in the next few years but became popular again on 2003, thanks to the efforts of his current manager Paco Wong, with the release of new albums "Games" (遊戲 - 基) and "Nobita" (大雄). He was then referred as one of the 'New Four Heavenly Kings' by veteran singer Alan Tam along with Hacken Lee, Andy Hui and Edmond Leung.
Leo Ku's recent albums have revolved around a specific theme. The album "Games" was based on the theme of video games, "Nobita" was based the theme of comic books, while "Jade Solid Gold" is named after a popular music show of the same name. "Nobita" is one of Leo Ku's most successful albums ever, with 64,152 copies sold in 2004. It was the eighth best selling Cantopop album of 2004 in Hong Kong.
On April 9, 2005, a party was held for Leo Ku to celebrate the completion of Part 2 of his concert (勁歌金曲演唱會) and also to celebrate his "Jade Solid Gold" album reaching double Platinum (100,000 copies).
