Career

1998–present: Early life and career beginnings

Archie Sin was born on 15 May 1998 in Hong Kong, the elder of two sons.[1][2] He studied piano for more than ten years and developed an interest in singing during his secondary school years at La Salle College.[3] Sin won several school singing awards and cited Hins Cheung as his musical idol. He wanted to pursue a singing career without attending university; his parents rejected his aspiration as they preferred him to follow an academic path.[4][5] Sin graduated from the University of Hong Kong with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration in 2020. While performing with a college band, he competed in ViuTV's singing competition show King Maker II (2019) and made it to the Top 60.[3] He later continued his vocal training and was encouraged by a friend to audition for TVB's singing competition Stars Academy (2021). An outstanding performance of his during the show was Eason Chan's "The Night No Longer Comes" (黑夜不再來, 2000) for which Eric Kwok praised Sin for his ability in making the song "his own."[6] He also scored the highest by the judges in the first round of the finale with Stefanie Sun's "What I Miss" (我懷念的, 2007), ultimately finishing fourth place overall.[7]

He also made his acting debut in the series, portraying a secondary school student who experiences monster parenting.[12] Sin has released several solo singles, including "Bug Fix" (2023),[13] "No Offense (無意冒犯)" (2024),[14] and "Courage (勇氣)" (2024).[15] In 2023, he competed in Asia Super Young, becoming one of the finalists and debuting in the boy group Loong 9.[16]
