About the artist
Mr. rhythm guitarist Ronny Lay was born on July 11, 1979. Raised in Hong Kong, he was discovered by a talent scout when he was young and began appearing in print advertisements and music videos.
His band career entered the formal debut stage in 2008. Introduced by Alan Tam, Ronny Lay and the other four members debuted as Mr. and joined Universal Music Hong Kong.
His career took a turn after the band's contract with its record company ended. Ronny Lay said that after the contract ended, the band lost nearly all its entertainment work and income, leaving him no choice but to teach fitness; during the coronavirus pandemic, all previously scheduled work was also canceled.
Acting required Ronny Lay to adapt anew to a different position in the industry. At the start of this career change, he began as an extra, worried about making mistakes, and prepared himself for receiving less attention than before; he later divided his time between working as an actor and as a fitness instructor.
Fitness and teaching gradually became another line of work. At the end of 2020, Ronny Lay signed with Shaw Brothers as one of its artists and founded the Fitness & Music fitness center in the same year, working there as a personal trainer and teaching guitar. He also launched the online music program "Uncle Lay’s Show," serving as producer and host for the first time.
The members also personally explained the band's later hiatus and reunion. Ronny Lay said that a series of jobs and performances had been planned after the band's 2019 concert at Hong Kong Coliseum but were later halted by the coronavirus pandemic; Desmond Tam subsequently wrote a long message explaining to the members why he wanted to organize a concert. All four members serve as lead vocalists after the reunion, which Ronny Lay said was not intended to replace anyone but to show the public that the group still had different possibilities.
