Could you please provide some information about the arranger 'Axi'? The more detailed the better?

Many Taiwanese musicians of the older generation may not know Liu Shaoxi, but when it comes to his nickname Axi, they know it. Axi was originally a traveling musician who lived in the wild. He lived in seclusion in the countryside, tasted all kinds of herbs, and found the essence of the five flavors of life. He lived a happy life, not annoyed, impatient, anxious, or annoyed. He was accompanied by cats all day long. Playing with the exquisite little frog all the way. Back in college, Axi didn't know how to use Mei Mei and spent all her leisure time falling in love with the black and white piano keys. Eighty-eight, they have different tempers and it’s hard to deal with them. But since we love each other, even if we are separated by mountains, we can't stop them. No, more than ten years have passed in a flash, and the piano keys have already become old and yellow. Axi also understood the principle of getting along with him, which is to bring happiness to others and not keep sadness to himself.

There are many musicians similar to Axi. Why don’t they visit thatched cottages, search for famous teachers, and combine eighteen martial arts skills? However, when they reach the age when they should have no doubts in life, they have thousands of troubles lingering in their hearts. , I can’t figure it out after thinking about it. My childhood passion for music has turned into laziness today. Playing music should have been a joy, but now it has become a chore. Musicians are waiting for record companies to place orders for them, and then produce "R&B" style music in their own homes. Canned goods, "Hip-Hop" style puffed biscuits, etc. In the early years, when record companies were doing well, these music snacks were somewhat nutritious, but what about now?

So everyone was confused. It turned out that the rich people sold their "Benz" cars and villas with swimming pools, and immigrated to North America with their families; the poor people had to tell their sons: "Your" MBA "How are you going with the course? You must study hard to become a white-collar manager. You must not touch the guitar or play music. Isn't it the result of not studying hard that my father is going to work to support the family at this age?" It’s not easy for many musicians to change careers. Even if you set up a roadside stall, there will be guys asking for protection money. Musicians are not martial arts practitioners after all. Having said this, I wonder if it will arouse the emotion of some senior musicians? But don’t be sad, come with me to see how Axi makes a living.

As an arranger who grew up as a musician, Ahi later also worked as a producer and the head of an unsuccessful music production company. He has been immersed in the music industry for many years. Since then, he has just been a passive musician, waiting for companies to send him cases and making some canned music that he doesn't like. Today's Axi is completely different. It took him two years to complete his two solo albums "Hiha Ke" and "Wild Fang Ke". Axi originally made music for his own pleasure. First, he gave himself an explanation. , have the courage to tell others that this is my music, not the music I make for others. But I didn’t expect that drinking well is not afraid of deep alleys. Since the music has been made, there will be people who want to listen to it. No, after "Hiha Ke" was nominated for the Best Hakka Singer at the 13th Golden Melody Award, "Wild Fang Ke" "The album actually won three nominations at the 14th Golden Melody Awards for Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Album Producer, and Best Hakka Singer.

Speaking of it, the Golden Melody Award is equivalent to Taiwan’s Grammy Awards. Many popular singers who have been singing for many years have no chance to receive one nomination, let alone three nominations in a row. The glittering street of the Golden Melody Awards is the dream of countless musicians. Musicians who win the award can double their worth, because it means that you are recognized by the mainstream media and even the public.

Ashi did not win the award last year. Before the official operation of Crazy Studio this year, he began to plan this wild fun album. He almost completed the music creation, lyrics creation, and arrangement in an extremely tight time. Music, performance and recording, of course, several players Lu Jiajun, Jiang Bowen, Chen Ziwen, Wu Xinze and David Jr. and singer Liu Huiyue contributed their wonderful performances to this album. At the end of 2002, this work was quietly released through the Internet, ignoring traditional media.

But even if gold falls into the sea, there will be treasure hunters with eyes as bright as lightning. Ashe received three very important nominations.

Especially for the Best Pop Vocal Album, the other nominees are the popular Jay Chou, Zhang Huimei and Shunzi. Only Ah Xi, who is not a star, entered the first group.

This is actually not funny, because Ah Xi Axi's singing in the "Wild Fangke" album is indeed very special. For example, in "I am CrazyJazz", Axi sang in four languages ??and made five strange sounds. Such skills may not be seen in the records of kings and queens. I haven't heard it yet, and some of it is Axi's patent. Axi calls himself Crazy Jazz, so the crazy screams can only be heard in Axi's song. Maybe this crazy talk is a new wave of popularity in Taiwan. trend. So I’m not surprised at all to be nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.

As for the nomination for the Best Hakka Singer award, it is even more deserved. The nomination for Best Album Producer is a worthy one for a musician and arranger-turned-producer like Ashe. Such a producer can more deeply implement his own concept of music, not to mention that the overall style positioning and lyrics of this album are very exciting. Together, these few factors contributed to this album being discovered by the keen-eyed judges.

Ashe is very calm when it comes to being nominated. It doesn’t matter whether he wins or not. The key is that in the past two years, his personal music dream has finally come true, and he has also created a music platform through Crazy Studio. The broad street where everyone walks, senior musicians like Axi, after doing so many years of work for others, don’t you want to take off your heavy shoes and walk barefoot on this happy street?
