Grasshopper is a Hong KongCantopop male group formed in 1985.[1] The band consists of Edmond Chi-Wai So (Chinese：蘇志威), Calvin Yat-Chi Choy (Chinese：蔡一智) and Remus Yat-Kit Choy (Chinese：蔡一傑).[1]
Calvin and Remus are brothers and grew up with neighbour Edmond in a poor neighbourhood in Hong Kong.[2] It was Remus who was interested in dancing and singing at the beginning. His mother was his dancing teacher. In order to enter a talent competition, the 16-year-old Remus enlisted Calvin and Edmond as his back-up dancers. The act did not make it far in the competition but began to perform as a trio. They later named themselves Grasshopper inspired by their agility and favourite cocktail.
In 1985, the trio auditioned in the Hong Kong New Talent Singing Awards where Anita Mui was one of the judges.[2] Before their turn to perform during the audition, the venue had a black-out. While waiting for candles to be lit to illuminate the venue, Anita chatted with the trio and were impressed with them.[2] They would later reached the finals but failed to be placed in the top three. Mui subsequently invited them to be her back-up dancers/singers.[2]
The trio released their first album in February 1988 and continued to go on tour with Anita Mui. In 2000, Edmond was approached by TVB to star in a series. This started a period where the Grasshopper members pursued their respective solo careers. Contrary to popular belief, the band never was dissolved.
They stopped singing and focused on acting for a few years, but returned to music in 2005 when they opened a few successful concerts. They are best known for their talent and their physical features.
The band currently hold concerts all over the world including in Las Vegas.
Edmond So has 2 daughters, Yumi (born in 1999) and Ina (born in 2007), with his wife, former singer Winnie Lau Siu Wai. The pair met and began dating in the early 1990s and got married in 1998. This caused anger from fans of Roger Kwok as Winnie was Roger's girlfriend at that time. Roger and Edmond starred in a TVB series together in 2003 called the Greed Mask. Calvin Choy has a daughter and a son, but also a stepdaughter Gigi from his wife's previous marriage, but his brother, Remus Choy, is still unmarried.
In 2020, Remus Choy has created his own YouTube channel (傑少煮意RemusKitchen) that mainly focuses on his love for cooking and teaching recipes. His channel has been a huge success, renewing public interest of him not only as a singer, but also as a 'chef'. Then in 12 December 2021, Grasshopper launched their official YouTube channel called "GRASSHOPPER CHANNEL" focusing on just about everything such as their career, with touches of variety show - talk and having fun.
