Leung tried out to become a DJ for [[Commercial Radio Hong Kong|Commercial Radio]] when he was studying at the [[New Asia College]] of the [[Chinese University of Hong Kong]]. Though also working part-time, he became a DJ, taking the name Kelvin at first. He then used his own English name and converted it to a Chinese translation as his DJ name, Sammy ({{zh|c=森美|cy=sāmméih}}).
A few years into his DJ career, he was paired with [[Kitty Yuen]] (Also known as [[Yuen Siu Yi]] or Siu Yi), and they are still partners. One of Leung's other radio shows not hosted with Siu Yi is ''Sammy Moving'', co-hosted by [[Leo Chim]], Ah So, Marco, and later Seven Luk (Chan Keung).
Leung co-hosted the show ''[[Minutes to Fame]]'' (Season 3) with [[Miriam Yeung]], and starred in a Hong Kong movie ''[[Breeze of July]]'' with [[Monie Tung]] in 2007, the Opening Film of the 2007 [[Hong Kong Asian Film Festival]].
In 2008, he presented his own talk show, ''The Show Must Go Wrong'', at the [[Hong Kong International Trade and Exhibition Centre]]'s Star Hall. As of 2008 he was the primary spokesperson for the [[Vita Green]] product [[Vita Hair]]. In 2009, he partnered with [[Stephen Chan Chi-wan]] to host a multimedia show [[Ten Man Lane]].
In 2010, Leung started co-hosting (with [[Kristal Tin]]) the second season of the singing competition ''[[The Voice (Hong Kong singing competition program)|The Voice]]'' on [[TVB]].
In 2017, Leung publicly supported [[John Tsang]]'s election campaign for chief executive.
He was one of the main characters starring in the TVB drama, ''[[Friendly Fire (TV series)|Friendly Fire]]''. 2012–2013
==2006 Radio controversy== Leung was reprimanded in 2006 by [[Commercial Radio Hong Kong]] and the [[Hong Kong Government]] over an online poll created by his show, asking listeners to nominate "the female artist whom you want to sexually harass the most". The poll created an enormous furore, and as a result, CRHK was fined a hefty sum by the government and Leung was suspended from his radio show for two months, during which he could not take up any paid jobs but instead had to attend to classes on media ethics. His role as the host on [[TVB]]'s ''15/16'' quiz show was also revoked.
