**Ram Chiang Chi-kwong** (born 2 July 1961),[1] also known professionally by his English name **Ram**, is a [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong_people) actor and former singer-composer, currently under [Television Broadcasts Limited](/source/Television_Broadcasts_Limited) (TVB) management. A versatile actor who is most recognized for his many supporting roles in TVB dramas, Chiang was awarded the "TVB Professional Actor Award" in 2014 for his many years as a dedicated TVB employee.[2] He also won the [TVB Anniversary Award for Best Supporting Actor](/source/TVB_Anniversary_Award_for_Best_Supporting_Actor) with his role in the 2014 drama *[Come On, Cousin](/source/Come_On%2C_Cousin)*.

## Career

Ram Chiang started out singing [cover songs](/source/Cover_version) of other artistes before he was invited by [George Lam](/source/George_Lam), one of the singers he imitated, to perform alongside him on stage in 1985. During the concert, George Lam gave him the English name "Ram" as opposed to George's "Lam", since "L" and "R" together make [stereo sound](/source/Stereophonic_sound). After this, Chiang was signed to [Polydor Records](/source/Polydor_Records) in 1985. He became well known for performing classic 90s Hong Kong pop songs such as "You Needn’t Be Acquaintances to Meet with Each Other" (相逢何必曾相識, a duet with [Rita Carpio](/source/Rita_Carpio)), and "Queen's Road East" (皇后大道東, a collaboration with [Lo Ta-yu](/source/Lo_Ta-yu)).

After becoming disenchanted with the Hong Kong music industry, Chiang decided to quit being a singer in the early 1990s and signed with TVB to become an actor.[3][4] He mostly played supporting roles. In 2014, his popularity skyrocketed when [Wong Cho-lam](/source/Wong_Cho-lam) wrote a role tailor-made for Chiang when he was cast as Ko Yam (高音), a talented washed up musician with a tragic past in the comedy *[Come On, Cousin](/source/Come_On%2C_Cousin)*.[5] The role won him the "2014 Best Supporting Actor" award at TVB's annual anniversary awards and saw a resurgence in his singing career.

## Personal life

Chiang is married and has a son. He is a private person and does not talk about his family much.

Being a devout [Christian](/source/Christians), Chiang does not attend the blessing ceremonies of any projects he works on, as ceremonies involve [Taoist](/source/Taoism) and [Chinese folk](/source/Chinese_folk_religion) rituals. It is an industry standard in Hong Kong for the filming cast and crew to offer incense to the gods to ask for their blessings of safety and smooth production during filming.[6]
