The body of the Chinese Wikipedia records that, because Panther Chan had earlier entered the ONE OK ROCK contest, the Japanese agency Amuse took notice, and in 2015 Panther Chan was invited to join Amuse Hong Kong, which Amuse had set up in Hong Kong. On September 25 the same year Panther Chan recorded, each in a Cantonese version and a Mandarin version, "向星星許願", adapted from the Japanese band flumpool, and an original song of Panther Chan's own, and formally debuted with these four songs. The lead of the same article dates the joining of Amuse to 2016. Encouraged by the company, Panther Chan in this period began writing Cantonese songs. In 2016 Panther Chan released the Cantonese version "發燒" and the Mandarin version "倒立" of the same song. The English Wikipedia records "發燒" as Panther Chan's debut song. In May afterwards, because of a difference of opinion with the agency, the cooperation ended in less than a year.

Panther Chan then set up a company with MJ (譚傑明), guitarist of the band Mr., Tom (杜志烜), the drummer, and Leanne Ho (何思諺), a model and founder of an afternoon market, and in 2017 founded the independent music label "自由意志", became an independent musician, and released radio works including "出走" and "你快樂嗎". In the independent period Panther Chan wrote and sang the themes "告別昨天" and "Tracey" for the films "骨妹" (2017) and "翠絲" (2018).

In 2018 Panther Chan's "Run Away" reached No. 1 on 903專業推介, Panther Chan's first No. 1 song. The same year Panther Chan won best new Cantonese female artist of the year at the 华语金曲奖, and at the end of the year, with three radio songs, won the Ultimate Song Chart Singer-Songwriter Bronze Award for the first time at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards for 2018. In early May 2019 Panther Chan held "1029陳蕾音樂會", named with the birthday date, at Music Zone, KITEC, and at the end of the same month released the first solo album of the same name, "1029", including the radio songs of the past three years and some acoustic versions. On June 25, on the Commercial Radio Hong Kong programme "1圈圈", Panther Chan said she would join Warner Music Hong Kong, and on July 15 Warner formally announced it. Songs released after joining include "相信一切是最好的安排", "沙門", "凡星" and "下流社會". For 2020 Panther Chan won the Ultimate Song Chart Female Singer Silver Award for the first time, and won the CASH singer-songwriter silver award at the 43rd Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs Awards.

In 2021 Panther Chan shot a musical-theatre advertisement for the virtual bank Airstar Bank, and wrote and sang the advertising song "凡星". At the end of October the same year Panther Chan held "陳蕾沙門演唱會" over four days at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok. The second solo album, "Honesty", went on sale on the first day of the concert, and it was also Panther Chan's first solo album after joining Warner Music. In February 2022 Panther Chan was chosen as that month's Hong Kong representative in Spotify's "EQUAL Global Music Program", and the portrait went up on a screen in Times Square, New York. Panther Chan has also shared concert bills with other singers: in 2022 with 岑寧兒, in 2023 with 江𤒹生 and Ian Chan, and in 2024 with Kaho Hung, 魏浚笙 and others. In 2023 Panther Chan and 陳健安 were mentors of the "蕾多安芬" group on the ViuTV idol talent show "全民造星V", and the same year, at the 21st CASH Golden Sail Music Awards, won best female-singer performance for "下流社會" and best duet performance for "言之無物". On January 1, 2024, the Ultimate Song Chart Awards for 2023 were held at AsiaWorld-Expo. Panther Chan won the Ultimate Song Chart Female Singer Gold Award, My Favourite Female Singer, and the Ultimate Song Chart Singer-Songwriter Silver Award, and "伸縮自如的愛" placed third on the professional-recommendation Ultimate top ten.

In early March 2024 Panther Chan held a first solo concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum. "陳蕾演唱會2024《念》", on the theme "念", ran for four shows and opened on March 2. The third solo album "念", released in the middle of April, shares the name of the Coliseum concert and is Panther Chan's first album on which every song was written by Panther Chan; Panther Chan composed and wrote the lyrics of every song. "念" then became a tour, with one show each in Macau, Guangzhou and Foshan between 2024 and 2025. In 2024 Panther Chan was also invited to the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, sang "一生所愛", originally sung by Lowell Lo, and presented two awards. The film "看我今天怎麼說" opened commercially in 2025. Invited by the female lead 鍾雪瑩, Panther Chan sang the theme "What If". 鍾雪瑩 wrote the lyrics and 戴偉 wrote the music, and Panther Chan also made a guest appearance in the film.

On September 1 "不下床", a duet with 麥浚龍, was released, with lyrics by Wyman Wong. Panther Chan is especially fond of the anime "HUNTER×HUNTER", and the albums "念" and "凝", and many songs, take their names from terms in that work.

Panther Chan has said that, from primary school, Panther Chan liked making small handicrafts, mainly textiles, and also founded a handmade-accessories brand to help make a living. In 2026 Panther Chan's large crocheted work "荒島之幻象", nearly 3 metres high, was shown at the third "約好織物祭", held at Mill 6 of The Mills.
