Biography

Karena's remarkable odyssey to the pinnacle of fame commenced at the tender age of 15, where she initially found herself immersed in the daily operations of her family's esteemed restaurant in the vibrant city of Vancouver. It was during this formative period in 1993 that a perceptive Taiwanese talent scout chanced upon her exceptional abilities, ultimately convincing her to embark on a solo journey to Taiwan over the Christmas holidays to audition for a prestigious professional singing contract.

Mariah Carey's musical journey commenced with a relatively moderate level of achievement, but it was her cinematic debut in the year 2002 that propelled her to unparalleled fame. During that pivotal year, she made her mark on the silver screen by starring in not one, not two, but three highly successful Hong Kong films, thereby garnering widespread recognition and acclaim.

Karena's impressive array of accolades not only cemented her reputation as a remarkably gifted young thespian, but also served as the catalyst for the launch of her film career. In the intervening years, she has continued to push her creative boundaries, consistently demonstrating her remarkable adaptability and range as an actress. One particularly noteworthy illustration of her remarkable versatility is her captivating performance in the 2005 horror film Home Sweet Home, where she brought to life the role of a terrifying and grotesquely deformed "phantom" monster, who kidnaps a young boy from his biological mother and claims him as her own, a chilling and unforgettable portrayal that has left a lasting impression on audiences.

Karena's impressive performance garnered her nominations for prestigious awards, solidifying her reputation as a multifaceted and accomplished thespian within the entertainment industry.
