I still remember the summer vacation of the 2008 college entrance examination graduation season, as in previous years, I had nothing to do at home, one day I was playing cards with a few children of the same age in the neighbor's family, when a classmate surnamed Zhu kept humming a song "Funeral of roses", listening to the brisk melody, I thought it was Zhou Dong's new album, but he said that this was a song created by a singer named Xu Song, which has been popular for some time. Because mobile phones and computers were not as popular as they are now, if you wanted to listen to songs, you had to take MP3s to the Internet café to download, so I didn't know Xu Song at that time.
It was because of a small hum from the neighbor that I specially went to the Internet café behind my family's back, not to play games, but to listen to Xu Song's album, and to check the detailed past of Xu Song. He is a post-80s, born in Hefei, studying in the management department of Anhui Medical University, but in his spare time, with some of his skills and love for classical music, he recorded some songs and posted them on the Internet under the pseudonym vae. Later, because the brisk melody of the song was loved by netizens, everyone began to pay attention to this young boy. During his college years, he insisted on releasing some new works on the Internet every month for everyone to enjoy, and gradually became more and more popular, and various performance invitations also appeared. However, in order not to delay his studies, Xu Songdu politely declined these invitations.
Time came to January 2009, just graduated not long after Xu Song released his first album "Custom", from lyrics, composition, arrangement, recording, to mixing is basically done by one person, this album has been released, just a few days on the website was pre-sold. This also made some record companies smell the business opportunity, so they invited Xu Song to join them through various means, but Xu Song only had one requirement, that is, he must independently create a second album. However, it was obvious that no company was willing to bet so much on an unknown newcomer, and Xu Song could only continue to fight on his own.
In January 2010, his second album "Finding Fog Revelation" released by him began to be released, which contained many well-known songs, including "Gray Head" and "Luzhou Moon", and the second album won the love of many peers. Finally in 2011 by the multinational music company - Haidi favored, and very happy to agree to Xu Song's request to create music independently, so Xu Song officially joined The Sea Butterfly Music Company, and after joining, released his third album "Sogra No Bottom", and in the declining digital music era, single-day sales exceeded 200,000 copies, sensationalizing the major media.
This issue of the story begins here, what did Xu Song, who joined Sea Butterfly Records, do? Pay attention to me, and in the next issue, let's continue to talk about the creative road of musician Xu Song.
