Kit Chan is a Singaporean singer.
She was a member of the pioneer generation of Singaporean singers to successfully break into the international market, marked in particular by her breakthrough into the competitive and highly critical Taiwanese market with her hit Mandarin album Heartache (心痛) in 1994. She had released an EP "Don't Spoil the Harmony" (不要傷了和氣) the previous year. She is also the ambassador to the Christian relief organization, "World Vision". Fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese, she is the first Singaporean singer to break into the Hong Kong Cantopop market and the Taiwanese Mandopop markets. Kit was the first local pop singer to have been selected to sing the National Day theme song. In 1998, she was tasked to sing 'Home' during Singapore National Day Parade. In 2004, she was invited to perform this song again. In 2010, she performed the song during the National Day Parade again. In 2007, Kit sang the theme song 'There's No Place I'd Rather Be' during Singapore's 42nd birthday. This makes Kit the first and only singer to have the honour of performing the National Day Parade theme song three times.
