Vae, an independent musician in the Mainland, is an all-round musician who integrates lyrics, composition, production, arrangement, mixing and record planning. 2009-20 12 released four full-creation albums of lyrics and songs for four consecutive years, and the distinctive personal music style made Vae firmly occupy a place in the mainland music scene.
The theme of his ci works is novel and eclectic, and he is called "genius". There are a large number of unexpected and specious works that criticize and reflect on social reality, such as Carrot Beard, Toast Don't Eat, robbing Peter to pay Paul, etc., as well as elegant and graceful works, such as Thousands of Baidu, Luzhou Moon, and Half City Smoke and Sand. Even when depicting an ordinary love story, the audition, imagination and embarrassment are all well written. The most commendable thing is that no matter how the style of the work jumps, several key words in personal temperament run through all the works: introversion, reflection, nostalgia and humor from time to time.
His music styles are diverse. So far, his widely recognized tracks mainly come from two styles: lounge (sofa music) and popular folk music. "Sofa music" is not a music type defined by musical instruments, but a kind of "idle and lazy music suitable for sitting on the sofa". It is neither a dance music with strong rhythm nor a guava without rhythm. The leisurely rhythm and smooth and concise melody lines throughout are important symbols of Vae music, such as Su Yan, not eating toast, audition, cooling down and so on. Adding "folk music elements" and "classical lyrics" to the distinctive rhythm has made Vae-style popular folk music styles, such as broken bridges, half-city smoke and sand, clear rain and old enemies.
His third full-creation album, and the first nationwide release album after signing with Ocean Butterfly, Sugra Without a Bottom won the 20 1 1 mainland record sales champion with a sales volume of 220,000 copies.
His works are far ahead in the CRBT list of China Mobile, with 20 1 kloc-0/65438+800 million downloads.
Up to now, his personal forum "Vaecn" has 65,438+0 million fans, making it the largest star forum in China.
Up to now, his Tencent Weibo has 6.5438+0.284 million fans, and in June, it was 2065.438+0.2, ranking third in the "Tencent Weibo influence list" (people category).
20 1 1-20 12 He won many domestic music awards. See the column of "Honor Record" in this entry for details.
Budding college days.
(2006-2008)
At the beginning of 2006, Vae was a sophomore in Medical University. In his spare time, out of his love for music and the foundation of playing the piano as a child, he used simple music equipment.
Vae
Some "music works" were recorded: some were created casually, some were adapted by covers, and some were co-written with netizens-but when these casually thrown music were uploaded to his personal website and shared with friends under the pseudonym "Vae", it burst into a lot of attraction and attracted more and more attention. People began to "search for human flesh", a young man who sang green but his works were quite interesting.
In 2007 and 2008, while continuing his studies, he kept the habit of writing and publishing a work every month. Popularity and discussion are heating up, and there are some invitations to perform gradually, but in order to ensure that his studies will not be affected, he refused. 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. Apart from some lyrics, many distinctive remarks have been compiled into "quotations" by fans. Thousands of people enter the forum in his official website 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 single works, we can gradually feel his unique musical temperament. Whether it is extraordinary talent or hard work-in short, in the three years from 2006 to 2008, Vae completed the transformation from an amateur to a professional musician. In terms of popularity, it has gradually become a new star in the independent music industry.
The representative works at this stage are: Broken Snow, The Funeral of Roses, Brilliant, A Clear Rain.
One-handed musical miracle
(2009-20 10)
In the summer of 2008, Vae, who just graduated from college, spent half a year doing something-June 2009, 65438+ 10/0, and a record called Custom was born. Vae completed the lyrics, composition, arrangement, recording, mixing, etc. of this record alone, and even wrote the lyrics.
Venous bubble embolism
The type of paper he used was also selected when he went to the printing factory. 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." The album received enthusiastic response from fans and was declared out of stock within a few days of pre-sale on its personal website. In terms of music, the fresh texture and good production methods of this album have made people in the industry give a good evaluation of this album. However, due to the lack of promotion and dissemination of record companies, the mainstream media simply can't know this record, which makes it lose the "admission ticket" to compete with other mainstream records; The popularity of this album began only because a few media people recommended it out of personal love and fans spontaneously promoted it.
Vae's appeal makes record companies have to face up to such a question: Why can't artists who have paid a lot of money just hold it? The record company boss is aiming at the value of Vae, and people are constantly looking for him to talk about cooperation and sign contracts, including those who looked for him two or three years ago. However, Vae's requirement is that the second album must be created and produced independently. Obviously, no company will make such a big bet on a little-known newcomer, and Vae still has to work hard on its own.
20 10 65438+2000 10.6, after a whole year, his second independent album "Seeking the Fog and Realizing the Tao" was released. Words, songs and producers are still monopolized, and several new names have appeared in the arranger list. In addition to further emphasizing personal characteristics, the whole album, as a music producer, Vae's production concept is becoming more and more mature, and its structural arrangement and moving details far exceed most popular albums of that year. 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 standard of Vae has also been affirmed by domestic first-line brands. After the release of "Seeking the Fog and Realizing the Tao", it was invited by Sohu, Lenovo and Huayi Music to tailor works for its main products/artists. What's more commendable is that these works have also gained a good reputation in art.
In the past two years, Vae has been working hard, handing over two works completely created and produced by himself, and has gained a large number of fans, especially the great influence brought by Seeking Fog and Realizing Tao, which I am afraid he never thought of. Musically, the style is more and more distinct.
Representative works at this stage: Redundant Interpretation, Doomed Face, Luzhou Moon, Half-city Smoke and Sand, and Plain Face.
This game changed his rules.
(20 1 1 year)
20 1 1 in March, something happened in the mainland music scene: Vae signed a contract with Haidie Music. He used the independent production mode of the first two albums to complete the third album "Sugra Without a Bottom". Although I don't know how many rounds the two sides played, the result alone should be considered beneficial to Vae. After years of hard work, it has been recognized-there is probably no second record company that dares to create and produce albums 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.
20 1 1 in April, 2008, Sugra Without a Bottom, dubbed "the album of thoughts" by Ocean Butterfly, successfully won the record sales champion in Chinese mainland. So far, the major mainstream media and recording industry in China have to face up to this musician. The album itself, whether it is music, content, production level, can be called top grade, coupled with a huge fan base, it is reasonable to win the sales champion.
201111On October 25th, Vae held its first concert in the North Station Theater. This concert can be said to be similar to a concert, but not a concert. Formally speaking, it absorbs and draws lessons from almost all available perceptual effects such as drama, folk art, film and television images, light and shadow, sound and electricity, and serves the situation expressed by Vae's songs. On the other hand, both the content production team and the video photoelectric effect team are top production teams in China. All this is just for one goal, so that all friends who like Vae can not only get close to Vae, but also transform into any role in the song on the constructed space-time stage, communicate with Vae perfectly and share the charm and magic he created in the music lyrics. The inspiration for this concert comes from The Butterfly Metamorphosis directed by Meng Jinghui.

In recent decades, the global average temperature has experienced two fluctuations of cold-warm-cold-warm, and the living environment of human beings is facing more and more challenges. The reason for these changes is the excessive exploitation and waste of natural resources by human beings. For this reason, in recent years, the world has started different ways of "protecting the earth" environmental protection actions. As the spiritual leader of the post-90s generation, Vae appeals to everyone to support green environmental protection and participate in low-carbon environmental protection through the song "Global Cooling" in the new album "Sleepwalker". This time, Vae also cooperated with Hi Xiaobai to launch a limited edition reusable shopping bag. Hi Xiaobai, as the leading convenient life service platform (online convenience store) in China, meets your fresh, convenient and economical life needs with "timely arrival" and "subscription life" services. This joint cooperation, Vae hopes to arouse everyone's enthusiasm for environmental protection.

Many fans lined up at convenience stores to buy limited edition shopping bags. Vae himself said: I am very happy to participate in this kind of environmental protection activities.
