No Labels Please- Rising Star Eleanor Lee Is Determined To Chart Her Own Course

Actor, singer, songwriter—Eleanor Lee is a triple threat and an ingénue who stays resolutely grounded even as she shoots for the skies. Just don’t call her cute.

- Jeffrey Yan.

In many ways, Eleanor Lee is your standard card-carrying member of Generation Z. She’s a multi-hyphenate, a digital native, and gushes over Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. But not every 20-year-old can lay claim to having parents who are household names in Singapore—her mum is presenter Quan Yifeng, her dad is actor Peter Yu, and her godfather is celebrity hairstylist Addy Lee. Her every move is hotly watched by 216,000 (and growing) followers on Instagram and 8.6 million more on Weibo. But like Zoë Kravitz or Kaia Gerber, Lee represents that new breed of celebrity offspring who, although undeniably blessed in the looks department, is not content to just rest on their parents’ laurels and be famous for fame’s sake. She delights in the work, and is determined to make her own name, carve out her own path.
