    After Capital Artists closed, Ho joined EMI in 2002. Although she was only with the company for a brief 2-year period, it was during this time that her musical talents flourished. She teamed up with Ying C Foo (\u82f1\u5e2b\u5085) for her first EMI label release, Hocc\u00b2. The song “Angel Blues” (\u5929\u4f7f\u85cd), composed by Ho herself, not only reached top spots on music charts, but according to Ho, it is also her “growing up” song.<\/p>\n

    In 2002, Ho’s two singles “Angel Blues” (\u5929\u4f7f\u85cd) and “Goodbye… Rosemary” (\u518d\u898b…\u9732\u7d72\u746a\u8389) won multiple music awards in Hong Kong, including CASH Golden Sail Music Awards (CASH\u91d1\u5e06\u97f3\u6a02\u734e) \u2013 “Best Vocal Performance by a Female Artist” for the song “Angel Blues”.

It also marked the start of a close collaboration between Ho and the Green Mountain Orchestra band. She was named the Orbis Student Ambassador 2005, and visited Hainan in July. In September 2005, Ho performed in the musical Butterfly Lovers (\u6881\u795d\u4e0b\u4e16\u50b3\u5947) as the leading actress, producer and musical director. Her album of the same name gave her three Number 1 singles \u2013 “Becoming a Butterfly” (\u5316\u8776), “Lawrence and Lewis” (\u52de\u65af\uff0e\u840a\u65af) and “Coffee in a Soda Bottle” (\u6c7d\u6c34\u6a3d\u88e1\u7684\u5496\u5561), which are all based on the story of the Butterfly Lovers, with possible homosexual themes. These singles helped her to receive the “Female Singer Silver Award” at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation 2005 (\u53f1\u5412\u6a02\u58c7\u6d41\u884c\u699c\u9812\u734e\u5178\u79ae).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    The significant public attention and positive reception to her music helped her garner the “Female Singer Gold Award” at the Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation 2006 (\u53f1\u5412\u6a02\u58c7\u6d41\u884c\u699c\u9812\u734e\u5178\u79ae). She sang the Chinese version of Ayumi Hamasaki’s song “Secret”, known as “Wounded City Secret” (\u50b7\u57ce\u79d8\u5bc6), for the 2006 movie Confession of Pain. She continued as the Orbis Student Ambassador 2006 and visited Vietnam, and later started her own charitable fund. In 2008, a new album “Ten Days in the Madhouse” was released. She produced this album from the viewpoint of society’s outcasts and to raise awareness of mental health issues. She encouraged people to understand and find out more about people with mental illnesses and those who formerly suffered from mental illnesses, and care about their needs and situations. Ho encouraged communication between them and the public, ultimately, to achieve social harmony. “Ten Days in the Madhouse” was Ho’s most ambitious project. Yet, with the release of a documentary by Hong Kong director Yan Yan Mak (Butterfly) and an exhibition for charity, Ho showed that a multimedia project by a musician can be about something more important than clothing tie-ins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    On 7\u201310 October 2016, Ho returned to the Hong Kong Coliseum for her first crowdfunded concert \u201cDear Friend,\u201d. As she was banned and blacklisted by China, Ho could not find any powerful sponsor that would support her shows. So she came up with a crowdfunding alternative she called \u201cTogetherly Exclusive.\u201d She invited individuals and small and medium enterprises to pledge sponsorship for the event. Eventually, sponsored by over 300 small enterprises and individuals, the four-day concert was successfully held and revisited 24 of the singer’s greatest hits.<\/p>\n

    On 5 June 2016, French cosmetics brand Lanc\u00f4me cancelled a promotional concert by Denise Ho that was scheduled to be held on 19 June in Sheung Wan. This action was taken in response to a boycott campaign launched by the Communist Party-controlled Global Times, which denigrated her for supposedly supporting Hong Kong and Tibet independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
