Edwin Siu

Siu became popular in high school as a singer. In 2001, he distinguished himself in a singing contest and was signed by Music Nation Group as a singer and found early success.[2] After a fierce competition with new singers including Juno Mak and Shawn Yue, he won the Rookie of the Year award. However, Siu's initial success ended abruptly in 2002 after he made the controversial statement “the good will always prevail” at the party after 2002 JSG award .[3] The following day his comment was taken out of context with news reports claiming that Siu's comments were made towards fellow singer Juno Mak, who was known for his wealthy father's backing of his career, angering Mak's supporters and fans. Siu's career plummeted immediately and was sent by his management company to restart his career in mainland China. He was sent to Beijing and was eventually dropped by his management company in 2004, preventing him from releasing any new albums.[4][5] Siu has said 2004 was one of his most depressing year as his career spiraled downhill and his father also died.

Finding little success in mainland and missing his family, Siu returned to Hong Kong in 2008 to sign with TVB as an actor. Starting with minor supporting roles he eventually climbed to lead actor roles at TVB. In 2012, he starred in the TV drama Daddy Good Deeds playing the character "Yip Kwai" with an image that subverted from his early career. The role brought him his first TVB acting nomination as a supporting actor. In response to his role, Siu remarked that “It was too easy for me to succeed in the past, then I become arrogant. I often lost my temper when I felt unhappy with some small thing. But now I knew that rather to have a sudden rise in life, I prefer to work hard step-by-step. I was fortunately to have this opportunity to reintroduce my image to the public.” In addition to his role on Daddy Good Deeds, he also sang the series' theme song, which was very well received.[6]

In 2013 he starred in his first lead role, co-leading with Ruco Chan in Brother's Keeper. His character "Lo Wai-son" brought him further recognition as an actor in which he won the TVB Star Awards Malaysia best actor award. After the success of Brother's Keeper, Siu was given more opportunities as a lead actor.

Siu is good friends with actors Wayne Lai, Raymond Cho, Raymond Wong, and Power Chan. The five together have starred in The Confidant and Overachievers.

In 2014, Siu began dating his Madam Cutie On Duty co-star Priscilla Wong.[7][8] In 2018, the couple announced that they were married.[9]
