Gloria Tang Sze-wing^[a] (born 16 August 1991), known professionally as G.E.M. (backronym of Get Everybody Moving) or Tang Tsz-kei^[b], is a Hong Kong singer, songwriter, and producer. Born in Shanghai and raised in Hong Kong, G.E.M. made her debut in 2008 with the release of her self-titled Cantonese extended play G.E.M. The release won her the gold award for best newcomer at three major music awards ceremonies in Hong Kong. Her debut studio album, 18... (2009), was named one of the top ten best-selling records in the territory in 2009.

Recorded in both Mandarin and Cantonese, G.E.M.'s third studio album, Xposed (2012), was named the best-selling Mandarin album of the year at the IFPI Hong Kong Record Sales Awards. It also made her the youngest nominee for Best Female Mandarin Singer in the history of the Golden Melody Awards. In 2014, her appearance on the Chinese singing competition I Am a Singer 2 gained her immense popularity in Greater China. In 2015, G.E.M. released her first studio album recorded entirely in Mandarin, titled Heartbeat, which produced the singles "Long Distance", "Goodbye", and "Away".

In 2016, G.E.M. became the only Asian artist featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. That same year, she released the single "Light Years Away" as the Chinese theme song for the film Passengers, which remains the most viewed music video by a Chinese artist on YouTube. In March 2019, G.E.M. departed from Hummingbird Music after 11 years following a contractual dispute, and subsequently launched her own management company G-Nation. She found continued success with her next two studio albums, both of which reached number one on the Hong Kong album charts. G.E.M. embarked on her I Am Gloria World Tour in 2023, which grossed over US$70 million within six months alone.

G.E.M. has won numerous accolades throughout her career, including sixteen IFPI Hong Kong Sales Awards, twelve RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards, thirteen Metro Radio Mandarin Music Awards, one Golden Melody Award, and one MTV Europe Music Award. In 2018, she was included at number 34 on BBC's 100 Women list of influential women from around the world.
