Karen Mok wrestles with what's been a life-long question for her on the title of her first English album, "Somewhere I Belong."
The Hong Kong pop diva has a half-Chinese, half-Welsh father and her mother is half-Chinese, one quarter-Iranian and a quarter-German. It's easy to see why Mok cannot pinpoint one ethnic identity.
So where exactly does she feel like she belongs? Mok explains it's not a geographic location, but rather her home is on stage, wherever she performs.
"It's about what I do, when I feel comfortable, that's when I'm doing what I love most, that's singing, that's when I'm performing on stage, and just singing my heart out, sharing my emotions," she said. "So that's where I belong."
After 16 successful Mandarin/Cantonese albums, Mok is venturing into English lyrics and a mix of music styles.
The album is her first attempt to cross from pop to jazz. She sings classic jazz tunes, as well as reinterpretations of Chinese and Western pop songs.
