Name: Tong Jun
Song: "The Sun"
Live broadcasting has become a part of singer Tong Jun's life. Every night, she will appear on time in the Kugou live broadcast room, singing for fans and sharing each other's feelings. The live broadcast has accumulated strong popularity for her: on Kugou Music, Tong Jun has nearly 270,000 fans, the song "There is a Lover in the World" (Chinese version) sung by her has continued to reach 130 days on the Kugou list, and the total number of reviews of another song "Is This Love" (Gentle Girl Version) has exceeded 200,000.
From the resident singer to the music anchor, Tong Jun has always struggled on the road of chasing her dreams. Although the stage is different, the figure of her earnest singing is equally moving.
Music is a necessity and can be ignited by music at any time
Tong Jun lives in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere. Her father is the conductor of the orchestra, her mother is good at singing, and Tong Jun has shown an excellent sense of music and a strong interest in music since she was a child. She can learn the theme song of the episode on TV once or twice: "I would hum the theme song of "Longing" when I was about one year old, and according to my mother's recollection, although I did not understand the words at that time, the pitch was particularly good. ”
But Tong Jun did not think about music as a profession at first. In college, she studied public administration and participated in many art clubs. Originally planned to go to graduate school, but was introduced by a friend to the bar to sing, thus becoming a singer. She said: "I slowly accumulated experience in singing, and later I met a very good teacher, mastered the breathing method, and felt that I had reached a higher level in singing. ”
Tong Jun sang for ten years. She did not think of giving up: five years ago, Tong Jun temporarily left the music scene because of pregnancy, during which time, she took the sommelier qualification certificate and planned to change into the wine industry in the future. But she suddenly found that she could not give up her love of music: "One day I sat in my office and felt that life had seen the head at a glance. When I used to participate in competitions, I was often asked: What is the place of music in your life? Now I get it: for me, music is a necessity, and I can be ignited by music anytime, anywhere. ”
From offline to online, making music is expensive to insist
Tong Jun persisted. After giving birth, she returned to the music industry, not only continuing to do offline performances, but also trying to broadcast live online in 2018. From offline to online, Tong Jun also encountered water and soil dissatisfaction, but quickly overcome: "Because the live broadcast can't see the audience, it was a little unaccustomed at first." Later, it was found that live broadcasting can communicate and interact with the audience at zero distance and in real time. I'm singing over here, and they're going to react right away on the other side of the computer, like praising you for singing well. When I announce the release of a new song, they will be the first to support it. ”
In her opinion, the Kugou music "Star Project" provides a stage for musicians to realize their dreams: "We can also have our own original songs and have our own fans." At the moment when offline performances cannot be carried out, live broadcasting has become Tong Jun's main work. She broadcasts live for two or three hours every night, and the proceeds of the live broadcast allow her to continue making music with peace of mind.
In addition, through live broadcasting, Tong Jun uses her singing voice to bring warm companionship to fans from all over the world: "Many people have stereotypes about live singers, but I hope that through my efforts, everyone can see that music anchors can also be very positive and use songs to spread positive messages to everyone." ”
