In 2014, Yang Kun burst into tears on the stage of "The Voice of China", and the person who made him cry was a niche music singer who did not look outstanding and had a hoarse voice - Palhati.
Who is Palhati?
A song "How Do You Give Me Up To Be Sad" made Yang Kun, Na Ying, and Wang Feng turn around for him at the same time.
He could make Yang Kun cry and make Na Ying and Wang Feng fight for him.
Wang Feng asked him, "What is your dream?" ”
But the honest Palhati said bluntly: "I don't have any dreams, I just want to do things, do my own thing seriously, and the dream comes." ”
Wang Feng said he was Bob Dylan, China, and the students affectionately called him "Uncle Pa."
A two-string guitar played for 2 years, mixed with a group of post-90s children in the middle of a 31-year-old "old man".
A guitar and a rough voice are out of place in a sweet and popular voice.
Musician Liang Huan called his voice "destructive", and in today's popular song, Palhati has become an "alternative".
But no one expected that the stage of the mainstream "The Voice of China" would give the second place to such a niche singer.
Standing on the stage of the final, Palhati looked calm and calm, but no one knew that this "old-looking" big man would be nervous about a game in private.
Because what he fears most is that others don't like me.
From the age of 8, He began to be exposed to music, and his parents and brother left one after another, and it was not easy to harvest happiness on the road.
Standing on the biggest stage in his life, Palhati tried his best to prove to everyone that I came to this stage just to continue to do my own thing.
After leaving the stage of "The Voice", Parhati, holding the runner-up trophy, disappeared from the public eye.
It is difficult to find his news on the Internet, just like a martial arts master, after drawing his sword, he chooses to retire.
What kind of story happened to him? And where does he go now?
01
In 1982, Parha was born into an ordinary working-class family in Urumqi.
There is also an older brother in the family, who has loved to play with musical instruments since he was a child, which makes Palhati fascinated and indirectly liked music.
By the time he was 6 years old, his brother had already played the guitar to just two strings, but Palhati didn't give up.
Pick up that bad guitar and play it for two years.
His father saw that he loved music, and when he was 8 years old, he gave a new guitar as a gift to Palhati.
But Palhati, who has not been instructed by his teacher, is thinking about everything by himself.
Palhati, who began to touch music at the age of 8, officially played music at the age of 18.
That year, he stepped out of college and told his father, "I only need tuition, and other living expenses can make money from music." ”
So Palhati began to sing in the bar, but because his voice and songs were too niche, he was always disliked by the bar owner, and he could not make ends meet, and even the heating bill in winter could not be taken out.
While he was struggling to make ends meet, another piece of bad news swept through Palhati's entire life.
In 2002, the news of his brother's death from illness broke the family's top pillar in half.
Since then, Palhati's dad has become silent, communicating little for two years, and finally depression takes away his father, who misses his son.
Since then, the family has been torn apart and her elderly mother has become Palhati's only concern.
In order to live, Palhati is away all year round, and it is impossible to go home often to take care of her mother, leaving her alone at home.
The young Palhati didn't know what loneliness meant to his mother, he only knew that only by struggling could he get ahead.
Like most inspirational stories, Palhati was taken care of by Lady Luck after two embarrassing situations of only making $40.
In 2005, Palhati left the noisy bar and said goodbye to the "Yogurt Kids" with his longtime musical friends.
For the name, Palhati said: "Music must be pure and natural. ”
It was clear that he did, and although niche songs were not easily accepted, Palhati kept up with his dreams.
In the yoghurt sub band, Palhati not only realized his value, but also came together with his now wife, Dzurati.
Palhati and Palzrati have known each other as early as the resident singer, and since then, Palhati has become Palhati's number one fan.
From singing in residence to starting a band, Pazrati has always supported him behind his back, and in order to help him complete his dreams, He is afraid that Zilaiti also followed in the footsteps of Palhati and left the bar and entered the "Yogurt Band"
Two souls who love music collide together, which is bound to produce a spark of love.
Since then, Pazilaiti has become his right and left arm, which can be described as "husband singing women."" ”
In the words of Pazi, "I was associated with him in music, he arranged music, I sang, and musically we were each other's helpers and complemented each other's strengths." ”
When the band was first started, Palhati had only produced a few songs, while there were only a few audiences and fans.
When a friend asks where Palhati would most like to go for a concert.
Palhati said firmly, "Germany."
And the people who heard it laughed, but they didn't expect that Palhati really took his "yogurt band" to Germany, held a concert, and became a guest of honor for European music lovers.
However, this year, his mother died at home, which made Palhati bear another blow in his life, and he briefly rested for a year in the ascending period of his career.
In 2010, Palhati took the band with him, performing with the Symphony Orchestra and holding a band concert, and their performance was very popular on Youtube.
From being anonymous to starting a band with a small reputation, to promoting music to the world, making records in Germany, becoming a celebrity, and even being reported by the BBC.
Palhati's musical dreams were getting closer and closer to him.
In 2014, Palhati received an invitation from The Voice of China, but he declined due to the long format.
But under the repeated persuasion of friends, Palhati walked onto the stage of "The Voice of China", and a song "How Do You Give Me Up To Be Sad" sang his thoughts about his loved ones into everyone's hearts.
In the face of this "musical wizard", several mentors competed for it.
But in the end, Palhati chose Wang Feng, who also had a story with him.
Palhati, who successfully entered "The Voice", almost became a deserter, and after three months of nervousness, non-stop practice, recording programs, learning songs, and giving interviews, Palhati, who originally lived only in his own world, felt nervous for the first time.
Every day, Palhati, recorded until midnight, was in a state of exhaustion.
During the recording of "The Voice of China", it happened that there were performances abroad, so Palhati could only compress the competition time.
In just 5 days, Palhati practiced poor Mandarin, only slept 3 or 4 hours a night, and looking back on the three months of the competition, Palhati only said: "I haven't been so nervous to live to be 31 years old." ”
After joining Wang Feng's team, Palhati and Wang Zhuo worked together on "Hometown" in the Battle Battle.
Faced with two particularly outstanding players, Wang Feng made a difficult choice and decided to keep Palhati.
But Palhati said, "That night, it was not separation, but the beginning."
From "opponent" to comrade-in-arms, Wang Zhuo cooperated with Palhati to release an EP "Comrade-in-Arms", and their brotherhood began from that moment.
Since he walked onto the stage of "The Voice", more and more people have come to know this guy named Palhati.
He was recognized walking down the street, eating in restaurants for three hours, only to take pictures and autographs with fans.
The leader of the autonomous region even called his wife and asked her to tell Palhati that she was a fan of him.
There were hundreds of text messages every day, and when he returned to Xinjiang for the first time after the finals, Palhati was picked up by countless fans, surrounded by him, and shouted his name.
But he sneaked away in his hat, not daring to say hello, and the shy Palhati blushed without warning.
After the game, Palhati signed a contract with Canxing, but there was no plan for the future, and he signed his name without even looking at the contract.
But the only thing he could be sure of was: "The band and my personal affairs will not conflict, and I will continue to do the band's work." ”
After that, Palhati slowly disappeared from the domestic music market, but still concentrated on making his favorite music as before.
In 2015, when Palhati toured Europe, he was invited by the Prince Claus Foundation and received the Prince Claus Prize at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
Palhati became the second Chinese music artist to win the award after Cui Jian.
On the same day, Palhati appeared with a guitar in his hand and sang his original song "How Beautiful the Sky Is" deeply.
The soulful song echoes throughout the palace, making people feel the true temperament under the appearance of a tough guy.
It was also this year that Palhati embarked on a nationwide tour with the German All-Star Band.
This time, Pahati has to travel 22 cities, which is a lot of work for anyone.
After preparing and perfecting, Palhati began his own new journey.
From Huanggang, Chongqing, Chengdu, Kunming to Shenzhen, Huizhou and Dongguan, Palhati has launched a combination of Chinese folk customs and styles from all over the world.
He also sang Xu Wei's songs with his former comrade-in-arms Wang Zhuo.
Today, Palhati has been focusing on his musical path.
Until last year, he also participated in many commercial performances and went abroad to perform.
And the nostalgic Palhati will also sing in the bar.
In addition to the less busy work, Palhati did not forget the joy of life.
Climbing, camping, and painting became essential things for him.
At the height of his career, Palhati also had two lovely children and lived a low-key life with his wife.
The 38-year-old Palhati is still on the road, and even though fame is short-lived for him, for him, nothing is important.
There is music, there is family, there is love, there are fans, why should such a life be flashy and unreal dreams?
What he had in front of him was not his dream.
