Ma Jiantao: An extraordinary musical path for a self-taught musical talent

Ma Jiantao

One

Born in Henan in 1981, Ma Jiantao was an authentic peasant boy. Ma Jiantao has been very fond of music since he was a child, however, due to family conditions, he did not receive a music theory education as a child. Despite this, Ma Jiantao did not give up his love and pursuit of music. At the age of sixteen, he bought a guitar himself and began to teach himself.

In 1998, ma Jiantao was seventeen years old, and in order to pursue his musical dreams, he came to a bar in Hangzhou as a Waiter. At that time, he especially liked to listen to some of the resident singers in the bar singing. He also hopes to one day become a bar singer. However, after all, without studying professional music theory, Ma Jiantao has a fiery passion for music, and he cannot tap his musical potential or activate his own musical cells. So he began to ask some of the singers in the bar for advice, of course, there is no free lunch in the world, which cost him his meager salary. Based on his musical talent, Ma Jiantao quickly learned guitar, bass, and harmony. It didn't take long for Ma Jiantao to become a bar singer.

Some people may think that the bar singer sounds very low,000, but in fact, this is a layman's term. "Bar singer" or "flyover singer" seems to be the necessary path for every musician, because it is a stage. No matter how talented people are, they need to have a stage. The bar, or skybridge, is the first stage for musicians.

Talent will not stop, especially for a talented person, but also the pursuit of a higher realm of art. In 2005, Ma Jiantao began writing his own songs and producing his own original music compositions. 2006 was a watershed year for Ma Jiantao's music road. This year, he completed his debut album The Impossible. This album contains nine songs: "I Love Angels", "Impossible Possibilities", "My Arms Are Not Gentle Enough", "In the End Love Or Not Love Me", "Old Love Songs", "After Falling in Love", "Don't Easily Say Break Up", "Please Let Me Leave", "Love Me Tired". The lyrics and singing of these nine songs were all done by Ma Jiantao alone.

The release of the debut album "Impossible Possibility" marked Ma Jiantao's official debut. As mentioned above, the year was 2006. It was also in this year that Ma Jiantao and the love song prince Zheng Yuan cooperated in songs such as "Is It Wrong to Love a Person", which further enhanced Ma Jiantao's popularity. "Is It Wrong to Love Someone" is included in Zheng Yuan's album "The One Who Loved". This song is written by Chen Li and composed by Ma Jiantao. Zheng Yuan's voice is extremely unique, the voice is pure and bright, suddenly brisk, suddenly slow and quiet, and the voice line seems to have a faint worry. Ma Jiantao's songs are combined with Zheng Yuan's singing voice, which complement each other and have unlimited charm.

Ma Jiantao's composition skills are quite profound. This is quite difficult for a self-taught musician. Of course, the success of original music also confirms Ma Jiantao's own strong musical talent.

Some people say that Ma Jiantao is an all-round musician. It lives up to its name.

Since childhood, he has not received professional music education, and he has completely relied on his love for music, and has worked hard step by step to understand music and become familiar with various instruments. From the initial familiarity with the guitar, to the later mastery of bass, piano, etc., this learning process, without talent and sweat, can not be practiced perfectly.

After embarking on the road of original music, Ma Jiantao's musical talent was further revealed. Lyrics, composition, arrangement, almost at your fingertips.

Ma Jiantao composed lyrics and discarded the bad words and phrases of "false, big, and empty". The words he composed are very contagious and have a clean and delicate feeling.

Close to life: such as "Naked Departure", "I want to liberate myself, wholeheartedly to forget, hairstyle for new ideas, mobile phone number to delete you, QQ avatar to isolate, determined not to have contact again."

Close to emotion: such as "The Impossible Possibility", "If this is the case, why should it be like that, let's go crazy for love, so give me strength, remember me hiding in your heart".

Ma Jiantao composes music, full of strong emotion, the melody is beautiful and bright. The penetration is very strong, and the emotional resonance brought by the music is extremely strong. Especially in the interpretation of love, his songs seem to melt frost and snow. For example, he wrote to Zheng Yuan's "Is There a Mistake in Loving One", "Tolerance", "Eyes That Hurt More Than The Heart", etc., such as "Sighing Love" that he wrote to Qi Long, such as "Clouds That Can't Be Separated from the Sky" arranged by him for Huanzi.
