The Pancakes is a Hong Kong–based one-girl band consisting of independent singer-songwriter Dejay Choi.
The music of the Pancakes is characterised by Dejay's very innocent, almost childlike voice with bright and catchy melodies.
Most of the Pancakes' songs have English lyrics, unlike the majority of Hong Kong pop music, where Cantonese is the norm.
Choi participated in several independent bands before founding the Pancakes, such as the Postcard (in 1996, a three-member band), Ginger Biscuits (in 1997, a solo act) and Tricycle Rider (in 1999, also with three members).
Her real Chinese name is unknown to the public, although appears as 蔡明麗 (coi3 ming4 lai6 in Jyutping) on her 2011 Cantonese album 腦殘遊記.
