• Name — Tats Lau Yee-Tat • Born — 27 February 1963 • Birthplace — British Hong Kong • Occupation — * Musician • songwriter • actor • Years Active — 1980–present Tats Lau Yee-Tat (born 27 February 1963) is a Hong Kong musician, songwriter and actor.

During the 1980s, Tats Lau was active in Hong Kong's independent music scene. He established several underground bands including DLLM and OEO (Oriental Electric Orchestra, which was influenced by YMO). Lau's career reached its climax when he established classic Cantopop duo Tat Ming Pair with Anthony Wong Yiu Ming. Tats Lau is the chief music composer and instrumentalist in Tat Ming Pair while Anthony Wong is the lead singer. Unlike other Cantopop musicians in the same generation, Tats Lau has strong influence of Synthpop music from UK. Tat Ming Pair, along with Beyond and Tai Chi, eventually became one of the most important music groups in Hong Kong history. After the disbandment of Tat Ming Pair, Tats Lau has formed several music groups such as Tats Lau and Dream (zh-HK), Tats Lau Government School (劉以達官立小學) and zh-HK. However, those groups only enjoy limited success in comparison with Tat Ming Pair. In 2009, Tats Lau formed the new band LOVE MISSION, and the other members are Charis Chung (zh-HK, vocal), Rita Ip (zh-HK, keyboard + background vocal), Man Kit Wong (zh-HK, bass + background vocal), Anson Tang (zh-HK, drums).

For the younger generation, Tats Lau would be more famous for his performance in many comedy films by Stephen Chow such as The God of Cookery, Forbidden City Cop and many other Hong Kong comedy films.
