Vae's singer career!

The detailed process of the Internet era in 2006-2008 has just begun. At the beginning of 2006, Vae was a sophomore in Medical University. In his spare time, out of his love for music, he recorded some "music works" with a pc and a pair of headphones, most of which were only rough semi-finished samples: some were created casually while playing the piano, some were adapted by covers, and some were co-written with netizens-but when these messy and random "gadgets" were uploaded to the Internet by him under the pseudonym "Vae", they broke out very surprisingly. In 2007 and 2008, while continuing his studies, he kept the "good habit" of writing and publishing a work every month. Although popularity and discussion are rising at a constant speed, in order to ensure that his studies will not be affected, he refused all the invitations to perform. His works became the only interaction between him and his fans. This practice of "saving money without earning" also shows that although he is young, he is by no means short-sighted. His blog is constantly updated. In addition to some lyrics, there are many interesting remarks compiled by fans as "quotations" and circulated spontaneously. His official website is very colorful, and thousands of people enter the forum every day-personal charm and musical charm are mixed together, and chemical reactions are constantly taking place. An achievement unrelated to music is that he won the honor of "Top Ten Young Students in Anhui Province" in 2008 because of his excellent overall quality. In the continuous creative practice, the maturity and integrity of Vae's works are getting stronger and stronger, and people gradually feel his unique musical temperament. His works can be marked by the following key words: soft, cool, concise and sometimes rebellious. Whether it is talent or hard work-in short, in these three years, Vae has changed a lot from an amateur to a professional musician in music. In terms of popularity, it has gradually become a first-line star in the online music industry. Many record companies came to his hometown to talk about signing contracts, but he refused because he didn't want to affect his studies. At that time, public opinion generally believed that Vae not only inherited the grassroots nature of the first generation of online singers such as Xiang Xiang and Donglaidongwang, but also raised the level of online music to a new height, which changed the impression that "online songs = folk songs" to some extent. However, in 2008, no one knows how long he will be popular, because almost all the online celebrity stars before him ran a red song for a year ... and then they were forgotten by the public. The representative works of this stage: The Funeral of the Rose, The House of Genius, Rain on the Qingming Festival, Broken Bridge and Canxue (according to the publication time) 2009-20 10 Vae, a solo musical miracle, took half a year to do one thing-20091. Vae completed the lyrics, composition, arrangement, recording, mixing, etc. of this record alone, and even the paper models used for the lyrics were selected by himself in the printing plant. In an interview, he said, "Maybe not many people have the experience and energy to participate in the whole process of creating, making and making a record." This music model worker has set a precedent and paid enough, but he has also received enthusiastic response from fans. The album was announced to be out of stock a few days after it was pre-sold on its personal website. Musically, the fresh texture, good arrangement and production methods of this album have made people in the industry give a good evaluation of this album. But because there is no record company to promote the spread, most media can't know this record at all, which makes it lose the "admission ticket" to compete with other mainstream records; Only a small number of media people made the popularity of this album spread because of their personal favorite recommendation and spontaneous publicity by fans. The appeal of Vae makes record companies have to face up to such a question: Why can't artists who are praised by them hold it? Record company bosses aim at the value of Vae, and people are constantly looking for Vae to talk about cooperation and sign contracts, including many people who looked for him two or three years ago. However, Vae's requirement is that the second album must be independently created and produced by itself, and the company is only responsible for promoting and distributing it. But at that time, no one had the courage to take the case, and the signing was put on hold. He was in no hurry and decided to fight for another year. He said at that time: "Only when we reach a certain height and have certain value can we have the capital for negotiation. Expect a cautious businessman to take risks to realize your musical ideal? Don't even think about it. " 2010 65438+10.6, a whole year later, his second album "Seeking the Fog and Realizing the Tao" was released. Words, songs and producers are still monopolized, but several new names have appeared in the arranger list. In addition to further emphasizing personal characteristics, as a music producer, Vae's production concept tends to be the top in the industry, and it has surpassed most popular albums of the same type in terms of structural arrangement, fluency of mixed recording, and retention of moving details. The height of words, songs, singing and production is amazing; The tendency of "rhythm music" is more and more obvious, but it is not limited to how to ensure "purity". The combination of Chinese and western makes the whole album very attractive. The works in the album, such as "Dusty Face" and "Luzhou Moon", have achieved great success with the reputation of netizens. Only one song, "Dusty Face", has been downloaded more than almost all previous works. As a music producer alone, the first-line standard of Vae has also been affirmed by first-line domestic brands. After the release of Looking for Fog Enlightenment, it was invited by Sohu, Lenovo and Huayi Music to create works for its flagship products/artists. What's more commendable is that he has gained a good reputation in art. In the past two years, Vae has been working hard, handing over two works created and produced entirely by himself, and has gained a large number of fans, especially the great influence brought by "Looking for Fog Revelation". I'm afraid he didn't even think of it. In music, he also made his ideas clear, and his style became more and more distinct. Representative works at this stage: redundant interpretation, dusty face, Luzhou Moon, Bancheng Yansha, Su Yan (based on the publication time) 20 1 1-? This game changed his rules. 20 1 1 In March, an event happened in the mainland music scene: Vae signed a contract with ocean butterflies Records. In response to this news, some people who don't know the situation invented a "he said he would never sign the contract" for Vae with their vague impressions, and then criticized it on the basis of this fiction; However, the more interesting news is that Vae has completed his third album "Sugra Without a Bottom" with the independent production mode of the first two albums. Although I don't know how many rounds the two sides played, the result alone should be considered satisfactory for Vae, which has worked hard for many years to get recognition-probably no other record company dares to arrange the album entirely by artists themselves; For the record company, signing the "newcomer" Vae is really profitable, and the huge amount of money to promote a newcomer is saved, because he is really not a newcomer and he has been a celebrity for quite a long time. What will happen in the future remains to be seen. Impression Overview Vae is not only a unique singer, songwriter and music producer, but also one of the representative figures in the network music era. It is generally believed that Vae not only inherited the popularity of grassroots stars such as Xiang Xiang and Donglaidongwang, but also raised the level of online music to a new height, which changed people's impression that "online songs are that kind of folk songs" to some extent. Strong network popularity and tasteful works make Vae a great success in the network age. With the gradual decline of online music, on June 65438+1October 10, 2009, Vae swaggered out an independent physical record "Customization", covering all the creation and production of lyrics and songs, and received rave reviews. At the same time, the topic and controversy about Vae have never stopped. During his four years on the Internet, he relied on Doomed Face, Fairy Tales, If Then, Why Not, Rose's Funeral, If You Are the Wind, Qingming Rain, Redundant Explanation, Bad Boy, Shallow Singing, Broken Bridge and Angel. Vae is not only proficient in lyrics, composition and arrangement, but also proficient in the recording and post-mixing of all works, which shows Vae's all-round musical ability and high musical literacy. Up to now, VAE, who has signed up for Haidie Music and rarely exposed in front of the camera, casually searched Baidu and found that he has a large number of fans, which are very popular and growing. 2006- 10, those works written, composed, arranged, sung, recorded and mixed by Vae alone. Once its fan forum is launched, it is expected to enter the original rankings of major portals and many radio stations. Today, with the industrialization of records and the commercialization of music, this is a small miracle-it has won the hearts of website editors and radio editors without the support of the company. In addition to his extraordinary musical talent, Vae is also good at writing. When I was a student, I published more than 20 large and small works in publications such as Germination, Children's Literature and Youth Literature. Besides writing, Vae is good at playing computer. 200 1 year "Iflytek" Cup National Web Design Competition won the first place in Anhui Division. In 2008, due to outstanding personal comprehensive quality, Vae won the title of Top Ten Young Students in Anhui Province. In 2009, he published his own independent record Custom, which covered all the lyrics and productions, and gained excellent reputation. It set a good example for independent music in the Mainland and became the object of imitation by many post-80s musicians. 20 10, once again published the one-person solo record "Seeking the Fog and Realizing the Tao". On March 30th, 20 1 1, the first album release conference and the official signing ceremony with Ocean Butterfly were held in Beijing. 20 11April 01The third independent record "Sugra bottomless" was released by Haidie Music.
