How did Tao Zhe return to Taiwan Province to make music? This starts with his traditional virtue of helping others in China. 1993, Wang Zhiping, a record producer, went to Los Angeles to buy a stereo. When he was difficult to compare with the foreign shop assistants in the music industry, Tao Zhe, who was also in the store, took the initiative to translate for him, so that Wang Zhiping could buy what he needed smoothly. Wang Zhiping was grateful and asked his name. He also knows that this helpful little boy likes playing music and knows music. Six months later, Wang Zhiping wanted to make a record for Zhou Baoyuan, who also came back from the United States, so he "recruited" Tao Zhe to show his voice in Taiwan. After returning to Taiwan Province Province, Tao Zhe began to write songs and compose music, and his works were gradually recognized by the music industry in Taiwan Province. Someone began to ask him to arrange music, hoping that he would participate in music production and become a full-time producer. At that time, Xin Che was going to release an English album, and A Zhe had heard of Tao? Works, like Tao Zhe's R&; B style, so I found him somewhere in my broken heart to be in charge of this production. 1995 When Chan Sarah, who had disappeared for a long time, came up with Shu Hua's album in full bloom, he discussed with the producer that he wanted to change his previous style, so Wang Zhiping, the producer at that time, asked Tao Zhe to help him make this album, flaunting the American "R&; B) With the creation of genre, Chan Sarah has also expanded her singing field.

1995.05 Making an album, Yang Caini smiled and wept to write a song: Safe haven, do you do it? You are indecisive.

1996 438+0 made an album. Eric Suen Yiu Wai Yao Wei composed Hello Stranger and Midnight Rosemary.

1996.08 released an album, and Eric Suen Yiu Wai Yaowei will definitely write songs.

For Tao Zhe, who has been studying in the United States since the age of 15, it is not easy to help Taiwanese singers make the whole album, because a producer has to communicate and coordinate with singers, teach singers to make sounds, master melodies and so on. What is more difficult is the expression of lyrics, and how to teach the singer to master pronunciation correctly, which he has to overcome on the road of production. But because of his love of music, he redoubled his efforts to make it well, and the language problem was not that big. His life experience abroad and years of cultivation of western music make his music style distinctive and carefree. 1995, Yang Caini came to Taiwan Province for the first time to release films. Yang Caini came to Tao Zhe because he came back from studying in the United States and was exposed to American music? It's perfect to make an album for Yang Caini. In addition, Eric Suen Yiu Wai Wai Yiu, who came to Taiwan Province from Hongkong to develop, was also a very popular idol singer at that time. In the past, Eric Suen Yiu Wai Yaowei sang many songs that belonged to dance music or that kind of little love. In this habit album he released, the record company wanted him to change some different styles, so he also asked Tao Zhe to write more American-style songs for him in the album and act as the producer of the songs. Later, in the same year, Eric Suen Yiu Wai Yaowei released a new affirmation song+featured album, and the main new songs were definitely invited.

1995.07 Making an album, L.A.BOYZ YOUNG GUNS composing songs, YOUNG GUNS, Dangerous People, Another Lonely Nightla.people

1995.06 Make an album BABES BaBy BaBy compose a song Babe Baby.

1996.07 produced the album Baby Lover Boy and composed songs Lover Boy and Song of Peace.

Make the album "Los Angeles". Boyz writes songs with pure energy and misses Christmas Eve, clowns and balloons, Pu 'er energy, rock and roll.

After many pleasant cooperation experiences, Tao Zhe wrote songs, made songs, produced harmony and "played" with Wang Zhiping. So when Wang Zhiping wanted to release the album "Three Brothers in Los Angeles", he once again called on Tao Zhe to join in and compose music for these three brothers who also received American music since childhood. In the album, Tao Zhe added different styles of lyric, brisk and rap songs to them, which made the three brothers admire his production skills. The main reason may be that Tao Zhe, who is good at black dance music, can "catch" the feelings of the three brothers about singing and dancing, and naturally "catch" the popular tastes of young people at present, becoming the "new favorite" that the record industry strives for, and also laying a solid foundation for the three brothers in Taiwan Province. BABES, the same girl, also came back from America. These three girls who have studied black jazz dance in the United States for more than ten years, in addition to showing their dances, of course, the songs should also be accompanied by a little black jazz style, so Tao Zhe is certainly the only choice for their album production.

1996 .07 Zheng Zhongji is in a dilemma in writing songs-I miss your love.

I don't know if you have noticed that we have seen Tao Zhe's albums before, and most of them seem to be singers who came back from the United States. I don't know whether these singers who came back from abroad are more receptive to Tao Zhe's works, or whether local singers in Taiwan Province are less receptive to Tao Zhe's comparative works (Rhythm and Blues). For example, the singer (Zheng Zhongji) who came back from abroad will be introduced next. In Zheng Zhongji's debut album, Tao Zhe's song "Miss Your Love" was also included. The melody of this song is a very American lyric song.

1996.08 Alejandro Delfino discovers love and composes music to discover love, secret, let me tell you, the color of night.

Alejandro Delfino, who has always dominated Hong Kong and Taiwan with black music and dance, also featured several works by Tao Zhe when he released his album Discovering Love, including Alejandro Delfino's Black Singing and Tao Zhe's The Sharpest R &；; Compose music At that time, their cooperation was the representative of black rhythm and blues music in Taiwan Province province. In this album, a song called "Secret" is composed by Lin, the Hong Kong lyricist we introduced last week. This kind of cooperation is really hard to get!

1997 Tao Jingying composed the song "I love you" beautifully.

In fact, when it comes to Tao Zhe's works, most of them are mainly composed, because composing is very simple for him, but because he studied abroad for nearly ten years before, it is very difficult for him to write words in Mandarin! Therefore, it is not so simple to find a lyricist who can match his style. Since 1993 returned to China to compose music, Yang Lisu, a former singer, has cooperated with him the most. From the earliest song written for Zhou Baoyuan to the song written for Tao Zi, almost two-thirds of them worked with Yang Lisu. I don't know about you. Especially words like baby or love ... ...

1998 making an album-does Zhao Yonghua love writing songs? There is nothing to say.

1998 may writes songs hand in hand, don't lie to me, be tall and tall.

After several years of behind-the-scenes music work, Tao Zhe's year before last was indeed his best year. He jumped from behind the scenes to the stage, released his own album, and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer and Best Album Producer in one breath. In addition, he also won several platinum sales. With such excellent results, singers who want to invite him to sing and find him as a producer can't escape from Tao Zhe! Tao Zhe, who is not good at expressing himself or rejecting others, had to run back to the United States to hide and think slowly. He is quite sure that he can write songs or make albums for these singers. After some struggle, in 1998, Tao Zhe first helped Zhao Yonghua to make two songs in the album, namely the title song "Love or Not" and "Nothing to Say". After that, the greatest thing was to help a-mei get married in a handheld album. In the album, Tao Zhe wrote two songs for A-Mei. The most special thing is that he has never written lyrics for anyone except Tao Zhe, who has his own lyrics in his album. He composed two lyrics "Don't lie to me" and "Tall" for A-mei, because he appreciated her special temperament, voice, charm and her musical potential. B knowledge, give a concise lecture, let A-mei broaden her music path, Tao Zhe also made a special guest appearance in the song "Lafite is high".

R&A originated in Taiwan Province Province; "Godfather B" Tao Zhe and Tao Zhe, who have always had their own musical style, created their own new wave of music and released their first album of the same name "Tao Zhe" on 1997. As soon as this album was released, it caused R&; B wind, although Tao Zhe never wanted to classify his music as R&; B, but many brothers and sisters in the music circle unanimously praised his music as the most authentic R& in Taiwan Province Province; B.

1997 the first album of the same name (Tao Zhe) is 1 .airport take-off 2. The airport is at 10: 30 3. Arrive at the airport 4. Love is simple (I love you) 5. Beach (Blue Moon) 6. Seventeen (our love) 7. Looking at the spring breeze) 8. Asshole) 9. Song) 10. Quicksand (everything is gone). 1 1. Take 6 and subtract 3 12. Do I) 13. Say goodbye before saying goodbye) 14. Blue Moon Suite 15. Answering machine

Tao Zhe, who went to the United States to study in junior high school and devoted herself to western culture, successfully subverted the traditional music style by combining the black music style with local songs in this album, which injected new blood into the popular music in Taiwan Province Province. This album is not only sold in Taiwan Province province, but also bought by people who like it in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia through various channels. It is also strongly broadcast on major radio stations all over Asia. The main reason may be that Tao Zhe integrated his growing background with music, and the whole music range was very wide. The whole album sounds smooth and natural, giving people a very appropriate feeling. This may be the success of his album.

Perhaps influenced by parents' artistic temperament since childhood, the whole album has diversified musical styles. First of all, the title song of the album is "Looking forward to the Spring Breeze". Tao Zhe added a new arrangement to this Taiwan Province folk song, and also added some words that subverted this traditional song. "Looking forward to the Spring Breeze" not only gives a new interpretation to traditional folk songs, but also has "good intentions". He said that he often heard men's "comments" about women, which he thought was a kind of contempt. Therefore, a new lyric "Who says that women's hearts are hard to guess? They owe someone a love ... It is more comfortable to buy flowers and wear them themselves ..." What he wants to emphasize is actually "women's autonomy". Let this song, which is not sung by young people, be popular in ktv again after his repackaging.

This singer can compose his own music, write his own songs, make his own voice, arrange his own music, mix his own music, and master it later. Except that his skillful voice sounds comfortable, he brought real black music into the pop music market in Taiwan Province Province, which is really admirable.

In addition, the whole album sincerely records Tao Zhe's thoughts, and it is also quite ingenious in recording, all of which comes from his own self-creation. It is very interesting to use human voice as an instrument in the production process. The next song "10:30 at the airport" is a bit like a movie. The fast-moving lens always makes people unable to see the faces of the lovers in the film, especially the hero, which is actually a masterpiece of the director's good intentions. The main reason is to make the audience pay attention to this song, but I wonder if the audience has found out that the hero is Tao Zhe who filmed MTV for the first time. Tao Zhe, who filmed MTV for the first time, said: "Fortunately, the hero in the film can't tell it was me, because when I was the hero for the first time, I was so nervous that my face was sweaty. If people see my embarrassment, they won't concentrate on my songs.

David, seen from the screen, feels a little shy and introverted. Besides talking about music, he also has many opinions and opinions ... He also has high demands on his words and deeds, especially his clothes. For a suit, his trousers should have a certain length, and he will be very careful about the size of his white shirt.

Although mom and dad are well-known artists in the circle, Tao Zhe's fame depends entirely on his own authentic materials. He can not only write songs, but also play harmony. You can also win the Golden Melody Award, the Best Composition Award, the Best Mandarin Male Singer Award and the Best Newcomer Award with your debut album "Dark Horse", not just for the curtain call. In addition to his outstanding achievements in Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, he also won the annual "Asian Outstanding Singer Award" by Billboard Billboard Magazine in the same year.

After his last album, Tao Zhe disappeared for nearly two years, except occasionally returning to Taiwan Province to help him record the album. The second album "I'm OK" has finally released a brand-new album, which is the crystallization of his two-year efforts. In the album, Tao Zhe got rid of the last R&; B style, presented in the form of alternative rock. This is Tao Zhe, who wants to contact the market with music full of rock spirit, so that people can return to the simple happiness of listening to rock music in the 1960s and 1970s. At the same time when this album was released, Tao Zhe held solo concerts in Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province, and many big-name singers were present to listen to his singing.

Since I was a child, I often traveled to and from Taiwan Province Province and the United States. Traditional China and western civilization have exerted great influence on Tao Zhe. China people's feelings have always been subtle, so he will try to interpret their feelings in a more "relaxed" way and in a natural way. So you can hear a lot of "Oh Baby" or random transliteration in songs. The point is not to pronounce every sound correctly and bite every word clearly, but to face the music with your most sincere self.
