Born Wong Oi Chi (王愛之), Wong's mother decided to change her Chinese name to Wong Yuen Chi when she was five, since her original name sounds like the Chinese translation for AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Wong won the CASH (Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong) Song Writers Quest in 2000 with her Mandarin piece "It is just misunderstanding and not tragic at all" (是一個誤會沒甚麼可悲).
She signed for Universal Music (環球唱片) in 2004 as an all-round artist (composer, lyricist and singer). On 5 October 2004, she sang with Jacky Cheung (張學友) "I am really hurt" (我真的受傷了) in his live performance and started to become well-known.
