Jocie Kwok was the first artist to be granted copyright to sing Mouse Loves Rice, a song that took China by the storm in 2004. Her first album, No More Panic, attained platinum status with its sales worldwide.

Kwok, whose Chinese name is pronounced Guo Meimei, suffered greatly after an Internet celebrity by the same name stirred a large scandal affiliated with the Red Cross. Though the two are in no way related to one another, the impact from the Red Cross scandal was so big that it cut down 70 percent of Kwok's commercial activities.(Source: chinadaily.com.cn )
