discord.py bot only responds to one command

It only displays one of the commands at one given time.
If I write !hi or !bye it won't work, but if I write !sing it would output la la la.
If I switch the character before it, it would change to !hi or !sing not working but !bye working and saying Goodbye!

import os

client = discord.Client()

@client.event 
async def on_ready():
  print('We have logged in as {0.user}'
  .format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  if message.content.startswith('!hi'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  if message.content.startswith('!bye'):
    await message.channel.send('Goodbye Friend!')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  if message.content.startswith('!sing'):
    await message.channel.send('la la la')

client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

Only have one event, don't make a new one for every command.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return
  elif message.content.startswith('!sing'):
    await message.channel.send('La La la.')
  elif message.content.startswith('!hi'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')

You're trying to use multiple events, instead use all of the events in one event like this:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

  if message.content.startswith('!hi'):
    await message.channel.send('Hello!')
 
  elif message.content.startswith('!bye'):
    await message.channel.send('Goodbye Friend!')

  elif message.content.startswith('!sing'):
    await message.channel.send('la la la')

Also, make sure to have elif in the other events instead of if. This should do it.

Don't repeat on_message events. Have only one and put if statements into this one event.

This is a perfect example of using commands.Bot():

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.command()
async def hi(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello!")

@bot.command()
async def sing(ctx):
    await ctx.send("la la la!")

@bot.command()
async def bye(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Goodbye friend!")

Bot() inherits from Client(), and provides much more functionality when it comes to handling commands!
