Ke Le (born Lau Jia Yi on 11 June 1997), also known as Yang Guang Ke Le, is a Malaysian-Singaporean host, singer, actress and businesswoman. Born in Singapore, Lau grew up in Johor Bahru, Malaysia and started performing in the Johor Bahru getai industry at age 12.[3][2] She was discovered by a Singaporean getai organiser to perform in Singapore in 2013. She entered the Singapore television scene in 2018 after finishing in the top five of the singing competition, GeTai Challenge.[3] Since then, Lau has hosted programmes such as Curious City (2021) and appeared as a contestant on the reality show Streamers Go Live (2022). She has also starred in the Jack Neo film, Ah Girls Go Army, in 2022.[5]

Lau's parents used to own four restaurants in Malaysia before Lau was 12, but were forced to close all businesses during an economy recession. Lau eventually dropped out of school at age 15 to help out with her family's financial situation.[3][6]
