On May 12, Song Bingyang sang the new song "Suzaku Street" for the first time at his personal signing concert in Zhengzhou, which was created by him for the TV series "The ▪ First Love of Chitose Adults", and was also included in his second album "The Only You in the Universe DO IT LIKE THIS".
From the release of the first album "SBYXII" on November 15, 2017, to the signing of the second album "The Only You in the Universe DO IT LIKE THIS", the interval between the two albums is less than 6 months. Such a speed can not avoid the "high production" question, but Song Bingyang is so "alternative", in just a few months, the second album has been completed.
In fact, looking back at Song Bingyang's debut experience, it is found that Song Bingyang has always belonged to the "alternative".
At the age of 14, Song Bingyang became one of the earliest trainees in China and went to South Korea alone to start his trainee career.
When the debut of the album was about to be announced halfway through the production, Song Bingyang "willfully" gave up the opportunity to debut and become famous, and went to the Berkeley Conservatory of Music in the United States for systematic study.
During his studies in the United States, Song Bingyang did not honestly become a nerd, created a lot of music works during his school years, and even chose to take a leave of absence after 5 semesters of study, devoting all his energy to music creation and production.
Perhaps not willing to be just a music creator and producer behind the scenes, in 2016, Song Bingyang announced his debut with "U Make Me Strong".
At this point, he returned to the original starting point and officially debuted as a "singer".
"The trainees taught me a lot of things, but it was fundamentally different from what I wanted to do."
Recently, with the popularity of variety shows such as "Idol Trainee" and "Creation 101", "trainees" have become popular and gradually entered the public's field of vision, and the group of trainees has also attracted people's attention.
As early as 2004, the trainees were still in the embryonic stage in China, and Song Bingyang, who was only 14 years old at the time, entered the South Korean SM to become the company's trainees, becoming the earliest batch of trainees in China.
"In general, trainees learn a lot, including music production." Recalling his career as a trainee, Song Bingyang sighed that he had gained a lot, but there was a certain gap with what he wanted to do. "Actually, unlike what I want to do and what I'm doing now, I want to make music myself." In Song Bingyang's view, the trainee is his own past, and when the trainee is a student, it is more of a lot of things to learn how to do, but as for why he wants to do it, he does not know the reason, but Song Bingyang still insisted on it for 7 years.
From trainee to the beginning of recording the album more than halfway, Song Bingyang, who was about to debut, made a decision: give up his debut and study in the United States. This may be a bit "willful" in the eyes of many people, but Song Bingyang has his own ideas and plans.
In fact, song Bingyang, who made such a decision, experienced a long time, and in the fourth year of being a trainee, he germinated such an idea, and he struggled for 3 years and finally put it into action. "If you're really a musician, you definitely have to accumulate a lot of professional knowledge, you need to learn, learn more basics." 」 Song Bingyang said.
"Singing is my original intention, to be myself, to do what I first did"
After ending his career as a trainee, Song Bingyang became a student and entered the Berklee College of Music in the United States. During his time at school, Song Bingyang, who claimed not to be a nerd, was a bit "restless" and produced a lot of music as the mastermind behind the scenes. "In the fifth semester, I kept my academic status and returned to China to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Because singing is my original intention, to be myself, to do what I started. Song Bingyang said.
In 2013, Song Bingyang met Zhang Jie, a fellow who studied at the Berklee College of Music in the United States, and the two met as before, in addition to chatting about music together, Song Bingyang was also invited to write songs for him. In Zhang Jie's album "Love, Don't Explain", Song Bingyang composed music for "Two Completes" and "I Am Here". "It's a coincidence, and it's also a kind of fate."
A few days ago, Zhang Jie was participating in the variety show "Creation 101" for the same trainees, and Song Bingyang, as the earliest generation of trainees in China, felt that those girls were very lucky, "Jie Ge will definitely give them a lot of valuable advice for singing and singing." ”
"Singer, songwriter, music producer, most want to delete the identity of music producer"
"The Only You in the Universe DO IT LIKE THIS" is the second album created by Song Bingyang, which is still co-authored by Song Bingyang himself and the well-known music producer Chen Junting
Song Bingyang brought his second new creative album to meet with everyone again, which is also the second time after "SBYXII", Song Bingyang and Taiwanese music producer Chen Junting co-producer, at the same time, Song Bingyang also took over the creation and planning of the entire album.
This new album contains a total of 7 tracks such as "DO IT LIKE THIS", "Humming Song", "No Temper", and Song Bingyang admitted that his favorite is the most sentimental love song on the album, "Too Late": "This song is very different from the past, and I feel that I have broken through myself." ”
From songwriting, record production to singing as a singer, Song Bingyang travels between three identities: singer, songwriter and music producer. Song Bingyang claims that his performance and creative process on stage is very ethereal, and when he is a producer, he will have a great sense of accomplishment.
If one of the three identities of singer, songwriter and music producer must be removed, the music producer will be Song Bingyang's choice, because Song Bingyang prefers the feeling of "flowing".
