Leon Lai Leon, the youngest and tallest of the "Four Heavenly Kings", is one of the top 5 paid singers in Hong Kong. He became the darling of fans (particularly among females) in the early 90's and has remained one of the most attractive singers in the industry. Despite his success throughout the decade, Leon was troubled in 1995 and 1996, until renowned Mark Lui became his producer and helped discover a new niche for the superstar. The smash-hit, "Words That Have Not Been Said", propelled Leon to the top again, and he has stayed there since. His new upbeat dance music was a big change from the industry's dominant "love song" theme, a risky move that proved successful. Aside from also being a respected actor, he is seen to remain one of the most sought-after singers in the coming decade.
