Biography:
Dinkson, mainland male singer, songwriter and lead singer of the band, born on August 27 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, was the runner-up of the 2006 "Absolute Singing" and the 2013 "The Voice of China" Naying team student.
He is a rock guardian with a musical attitude, and a three-year-old Ding who has transformed into a hot-blooded teenager in front of anime. Whether it is the ding-style rock that hits people's hearts, or the funny cover of "Frowning Eyebrows" in the singing bar, it shows Dinkson's diverse and three-dimensional life. In order to realize his dreams, he was hit by reality, and even more for the music to challenge fate, as his autobiographical graphic essay collection said: "From a young boy in the North Drift to a Golden Disc Award singer, his life can be described as a contest and game between reality and dreams." ”
# Non. Mainstream music #
The music in me, feeling in you, dare to think and dare to do, you have to do "non. Mainstream" music.
Dinkson's new album is titled Non- Mainstream", he himself defined the album this way: "What I think of as non-mainstream music may not be the kind of melody that the public will sing after listening to it once." For me, catchy melodies are not the most important, I want my works to be musical and listenable, and the audience can have new surprises and new feelings every time they listen to it. ”
Some of the things that people pursue in the second half of their lives have a lot to do with childhood memories. Dinkson said that he grew up in the era when music stayed on cassettes and records, and although the record industry is not as good as before, it is still his dream of a post-eighties person to have a well-made physical record of his own.
This new album, Dinkson insists on using the most meticulous attitude and the most professional team production, not to mention spending seven figures to build, in this era of digital album flooding, Dinkson believes that there is never a word "will" in the treatment of music. The first single launched in the album, "Fool's Faith", the team went to Paris, France to shoot, "Burning Bar Small Universe" and "One Thousand and Two Nights", Dinkson invited Jay Chou's royal arranger Cai Kejun to help, and strived to give the best feedback to listeners who understand him with the greatest sincerity.
# Producer's first experience #
Some people say this about Dinkson, saying that he has experienced a long hibernation, from the initial youth wandering, to today's blockbuster, still able to quietly adhere to the noise of self, tenacious growth.
This time Dinkson served as the producer of his new album, for this first experience, Dinkson said: "Before I did not understand what producers should do, as long as I finished the music creation part, I would 'throw the pot' to the producer to produce." This time I personally served as I learned that in fact, a song melody, lyrics out can only be counted as 50% complete, the remaining half need to be made by the producer to do meticulous adjustments, it can be said that this time I really fully participated in the whole process of the birth of the song to the finished product. ”
The first time as a behind-the-scenes producer, Dinkson said that the surprise was greater than the worry: "The demo of the song 'Masquerade' originally had only a simple guitar accompaniment, and after communicating with the arranger, I originally wanted to make a hoarse and sad rock, but I didn't expect the teacher to help me enrich the gothic style I hear now according to his professionalism, which is cooler than the original." A lot of times the music that ends up is the result of a lot of people's efforts, and the more I dig into the behind-the-scenes work, the more I know how grand it is to make a song. ”
When it comes to the biggest questions he encountered, his answers are really cute. Dinkson said that this time as a producer, because there are too many versions of music files stored in the computer, every time he sends it to the instrument teacher, he will send a mistake, and frankly said that there are ten songs in the new album, probably the seventh song, he slowly found the feeling, did not make the mistake of making a mistake in the file.
This time when he first experienced the work of a producer, Dinkson said that in addition to self-challenge, he gained more sense of achievement and fun from music.
# Burn it small universe #
"We are a small life in the vast universe, and the small universe in our life burns forever." Post-80s and post-90s people must be familiar with this line in Saint Seiya. Dinkson says "Burn The Little Universe" on his new album is one of his favorite songs.
Saint Seiya is Dinkson's favorite anime, whether it is specially integrated into the music of the new album, or the handmade that can be seen everywhere in the home, Dinkson instantly transforms into a hot-blooded anime teenager.
Reflecting on his childhood experience, Dinkson said: "When I was a child, the mall sold genuine models, but the price was too high, and I could only look at it from a distance every time. Once, a classmate in our class brought a model of the Golden Saint Fighter to the school, and the whole school rushed to see it. When I was a kid, I would collect boxes of these models, go home and cut out the characters on the boxes and paste them on my desk and pretend I owned them. In 2009, I came to Beijing, I had the ability to make money, and I began to buy myself a handmade one a month. Then in 12 years, after experiencing a heavy blow in my career, the money I kept to publish the album was also cheated out by others, so I had to sell all the models I collected and go back to my hometown to do business. ”
Before participating in the second season of "The Voice of China" in 2013, Dinkson returned to his hometown of Wuhan to start selling hats in the night market, and during that time he felt that life was without music, like the sky had lost color. It wasn't until Dinkson, a cartoon man with red-rimmed glasses, returned to the stage that he felt like he had returned to his true self.
"The first thing I did after I became a singer was to buy back all the handicrafts I had sold. When I work outside for a day and come home to see so many 'childhood friends' lying quietly in the cupboard, it is as if I have returned to the state of my childhood. That simple pleasure gave me great comfort. Dinkson said that the Hand of the Saint Seiya alone had a collection of one or two hundred, which he believed was a satisfaction that music could not replace.
# Red whistle #
The whole decade from 2006 to 2016, music, guitar, rock, Dinkson's music has a color called red, there is a kind of power called "red whistle".
Dinkson said he likes red, which represents blood, openness and enthusiasm, and we can also hear the red of his personality from his music. The voice competition begins, he wears the iconic red-rimmed glasses all the way and writes his own musical story, so the question is, how many pairs of red-rimmed glasses does Dinkson have?
I couldn't resist asking Dinkson, but I didn't expect Dinkson to say, "I actually only have one pair, and I'm not nearsighted at all." When the competition was held that year, the director said that the red-rimmed glasses were more grabbed than the black-framed glasses, so he forced my black-rimmed glasses to be painted red with red paint, and I also gave them to Teacher A Mei on the spot. Later, whether it was a performance or an announcement, as long as I took off my glasses, everyone wouldn't know me, and everyone would know that this was Dinkerson. "Now red-rimmed glasses have become a unique symbol of Dinkson.
As for forming his own independent band, it has always been Dinkson's dream, and last year he took his "Red Whistle" band to complete the national tour, and the feeling of completing the dream with the band members made him feel as if he had returned to his youth on campus.
# When you hear the world cheering for you #
In June 2016, Dinkson released his first autobiographical collection of graphic essays, "When You Hear the World Cheers for You," explaining that "the twists and tribulations of life will turn into a cry for the Jedi Strikes Back."
"The first time I wrote the first word was in 2011, when I had the opportunity to release a record, but suddenly I was cheated out of the production fee. The music is gone, the money is gone, I want to use some text things to record the mood of the moment, but also want to give some immature tips to people who yearn for this circle. ”
Dinkson recalled that when he first arrived in Beijing, he did something that still seems to be "two", that is, to go to the Xidan Library to find the so-called "star teaching materials" and search for "star" occupations through recruitment websites. "Later, I found that no one would teach you how to be a singer at all, and you had to rely on your own experience to explore." I thought, why not write down my experience in Beijing over the past few years? Maybe I can give some advice to young people like me. Dinkson said that it was this original intention that made him insist on creating, and later there was such a collection of essays.
The book records Dinkson's arduous journey to the north, in order to stick to the music path, he slept in the basement, set up a stall, sold singing in the subway, and experienced huge production fees being fooled. Ten years later, he finally let all the ridicule eventually turn into a cry to cheer for his dreams.
As long as you have an immortal belief in your heart, the whole world will applaud you. Now Dinkson sings "unpopular songs", which is also the most simple and touching song, creating an inner musical kingdom in a down-to-earth manner.
