Vae is not only a unique and independent singer, songwriter and music producer, but also one of the representative figures in the peak period of online music era. It is generally believed that Vae not only inherits the popularity of grassroots Internet stars such as Xiang Xiang and Donglaidongwang, but also raises the level of online music to a new level, which changes the impression that "online songs are like common songs of mice loving rice" to some extent. Super-high network popularity+tasteful works make Vae famous in the network age. With the gradual decline of online music, in June, 2009, 65438+ 10, Vae published "Self-definition and Fog-seeking Enlightenment of Independent Entity Records", 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.
In the three years since he appeared on the Internet, a large number of original works with unique styles, such as Ayutthaya, If at that time, Park No.7, Why Not Do It, Rose's Funeral, If You Become the Wind, Rain on the River at Qingming Festival, Redundant Explanation and Sunny Melbourne, etc. , deeply loved by the audience, has won the best male singer and singer selected by major portals for many times. 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.
Vae, who doesn't sign a record company, rarely exposes himself in front of the camera, which is extremely low-key. Just searching Baidu, he found that he has a large number of fans and a high popularity. A little trouble is a topic that fans talk about. Why is the popularity of Vae always so high? In addition to his musical skills, his simple, straightforward and low-key style has been praised by friends and a large number of senior fans. In 2006-09, those works written, composed, arranged, sung, recorded and mixed by Vae alone, once launched in its fan forum, unexpectedly entered the original charts of major portals and many radio stations. Today, with the industrialization of records and the commercialization of music, this is a small miracle-without the support of the company, it has really won the hearts of fans, music editors and music critics, making people spontaneously recommend and inherit his works.
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. When he was a sophomore, he wrote an essay "Treating scars as dimples". "At that time, it was only because of interest that it was posted on his personal homepage." But what he didn't expect was that this exercise was later used as a reading comprehension test by the Jiangsu college entrance examination Chinese simulation paper. At present, his Sina blog has a very high number of visits and reprints.
Besides writing, Vae is good at playing computer. 200 1 won the first place in Anhui province in the "Kuaifei" Cup National Web Design Competition.
In May 2008, on the eve of graduation from Vae University, he won the title of Top Ten Young Students in Anhui Province with his excellent comprehensive quality.
June 5438+October 2009 10, Vae published its own independent record "Customization", covering all the lyrics and production, which gained excellent reputation, set a good example for independent music in the mainland and became the object of imitation by many post-80 s musicians.

[Edit this paragraph] Style introduction
Vae's song:
In 2006, vae vaguely sang A Rose's Funeral, which sounded like Jay Chou (in fact, Jay Chou was a cover and Vae was the original singer), but today's "custom" has been called Vae at will. His unique transliteration and shallow resonance falsetto, gentle and slightly hoarse bass and lazy and casual singing style are recognized by more and more people. It only took Vae more than two years to complete the transformation from a similar excellent singer to an excellent singer. Of course, the controversy continues, and people have different understandings of music. But listening to Vae's songs, no one will doubt his uniqueness.
Creation of Vae:
There are many Chinese style creators who write Chinese style, but compared with Vae's handwriting, it stands out from the crowd. Whether it is "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" or "Memories of Nanshan", hentai, which is vulgar but not vulgar, elegant but not floating, makes people want to stop. The recent "Luzhou Moon" created a dreamlike dream for everyone who listened attentively, and sang the regret of an ancient passionate scholar's youth, the cherish of a wisp of hair, and the recollection of a love affair with touching and tactful singing and exquisite and elegant soundtrack. Distant infatuation falls gently in my heart.
How can the lovely youthful and touching nature of If You Become the Wind and the fearless love spirit of Why Not not not meet the taste of the post-90s generation?
Raping songs such as "Andersen has no regrets" and "Don't bite me" are all portrayal of life. "If you are unhappy, you will not suffer from internal injuries", which is also a spontaneous attitude towards life.
..... There are many styles, so I won't go into details one by one.
[Edit this paragraph] The first album
Vae (Vae)' s first independent album Customized was officially released on June 5438+ 10/0, 2009. With many original works and unique personal temperament, Vae, which has been a smash hit on the Internet, has done all the work of "customization" such as lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, production, recording and mixing. On June 5438+February 2008 1 1-2 1, the pre-sale in official website exceeded 10,000 in more than ten days.
Vae, 23, is fully aware that he dominates music and defines himself in his habits. Not many Chinese singers have this unique ability, and even fewer can hand over such excellent records from scratch within four months. After the handover, so many people are eager for hot discussion and support rather than narcissism-and it is really strange if all this is not promoted by the brokerage company.
Independently creating every musical detail makes the whole album full of personal flavor. The emotional logic of Vae's cool tone runs through, and the melody lines of retro and pop collision can be seen everywhere, and the all-round musical ability shows its edge. The insider, unnecessary explanation, if at that time, bad boy, fairy tale and other tracks are full of strong narrative and self-mockery. Coupled with the looming black humor, it is different from the sweet or sad or explosive music in the current pop album. Every work in Customs is like a tragicomedy-it is difficult to define it and give it. In this way, there are not many Chinese songs that people want to listen to and want to listen to, which have both popular potential and creative personality.
The emotional color of customs is gray, and dark memories and hidden self-teasing appear alternately, which is mature and delicate beyond age in emotional processing. Vae seems to have no intention of changing the whole album into a variety of styles and making it into a platter-if "customization" is still mentioned by many people a few years later, it must be an important factor-the style coordination is extremely well controlled, but it definitely makes people remember the characteristics of each song after listening to it again. The theme of lyrics is also a small-scale big article, which returns to the essence of love songs, focusing on inner experience and emotional stories, but the marginal theme involving assassins' dark battles like Inside is also refreshing. In terms of music production, Vae's simple and soft music arrangement is quiet and comfortable, with high personal recognition and listening tolerance. After listening to and pondering "Custom" with a lyric book, I believe you can feel its unique musical weight.
There is no commercial positioning and packaging, no planning and hype by the propaganda team, and this independent record has not played with the concept of style and genre to flaunt its uniqueness like many newcomers who released it for the first time, but only left a procrastination "custom". This self-styled "custom" contains great possibilities for people's happiness.
