HONG KONG (AP) – Karen Mok wrestles with what’s been a life-long question for her on the title of her first English album, Somewhere I Belong.

The Hong Kong pop diva has a half-Chinese, half-Welsh father and her mother is half-Chinese, one quarter-Iranian and a quarter-German. It’s easy to see why Mok cannot pinpoint one ethnic identity.

So where exactly does she feel like she belongs?

Mok explains it’s not a geographic location, but rather her home is on stage, wherever she performs.
