Eman Lam Yee-man (born 25 October 1982) is a Hong Kong singer and songwriter. Lam and Ellen Joyce Loo were part of the vocal duo at17.[1]
In contrast with Ellen Joyce Loo (who had been writing songs which incline more toward Cantopop), Lam's songs seem to show an inclination toward more varieties of styles including folk, jazz, and blues.[according to whom?]
