Character experience
Jia Liyi grew up with music. When she was three years old, she was able to perform Anita Mui's "the doubts of the red". When she was five years old, she began to learn piano. Although her hands were very small, she had a passion for music. She enjoyed playing piano several times her size every day and often played and sang by herself. This performance lasted for 18 years. Of course, besides learning piano, Jia Liyi also studied other musical instruments, including trumpet and French horn, because in her opinion, all musical instruments that can create music will bring her happiness. in order to further study, she went to England at the age of 15 to continue her study of classical music and joined an orchestra. In the professional music edification, she not only made great progress in music attainments, but also gradually found her interest and talent in composition. She likes to try different styles of tunes, but she does not follow the old academic way, but actively from the contemporary spirit of Classical Jazz confluence. After studying jazz piano course for one year, she began to add pop music elements to her creation. During middle school, she created more than ten works and played and sang by herself on campus, which won the praise and praise of teachers and students. Her first work was written for a charity and fortunately became their theme song. So she tried to send demos to different record companies. As a result, she signed universal records in 1999 and started her writing career. However, Jia Liyi believes that the exploration and learning of music is endless. In order to become an excellent musician, she resolutely went to the famous Northern University in Boston to study music management. There, she fully absorbed music knowledge, and her broader platform also injected many musical elements into her music creation. in school, she not only studied hard and got excellent courses, but also insisted on composing music for the record company and recording demos during her vacation back to Hong Kong. It can be said that Jia Liyi has been on the road of composing music in her student days, which has laid the foundation for her future album creation. Soon after, she sold her first song for the World Cup Hong Kong preliminaries to Joey Yung and Eason Chan, which gave her great encouragement. After graduation, she signed the Royal entertainment record company as an exclusive composer and worked as a marketing promoter for a record company in Hong Kong. Although she was very busy, she never gave up writing songs. In 2004, her solo became the main song of the new album of Joey Yung. This song fully embodies Jia Liyi's unique writing style. The span of range not only shows the skills of the song, but also makes the whole song deep into the heart and intriguing. After that, she decided to devote most of her time to music creation and become a real musician. So she quit her job as a record company and began to prepare her own solo album called "jazerism rachelism". In this album, there are ten pieces of her own works, including lyrics and music arrangement, which not only continue her creative style for many years, but also have some new breakthroughs.

Album:
"Solo" echoes the emotional expression of each song. The music styles in the album are also quite diversified, including fresh piano and string ensemble, moving Lyric melody, light rock rhythm, classical and elegant Chinese style, relaxed and lazy Bossanova, and interesting game music. The diversified music styles are wonderful, and every capital is the main song! The first single "solo" in the album is a song written by Jia Liyi after reading a picture book. The protagonist "Edward" in the picture book is a rabbit doll. Jia Liyi uses it as the protagonist to write this story: once upon a time, there was a toy rabbit named Edward. His master loved him so much that he would put Edward by his side every day and play a piece of his favorite music to him. But Edward didn't know how to appreciate it, and he found it very boring. One day, when his master left, poor Edward was put on the shelf and felt very lonely. He began to think about the music, the piece. So he jumped off the shelf, went to the piano and tried to play the music with his little finger. Although he didn't play as well as the solo, he always believed that as long as he kept playing, the host would always hear him and return to his arms The song "solo" starts from picture books. Jia Liyi transforms Edward's yearning for his master into this touching love song. At the beginning, the piano solo outlines the feeling of loneliness, and then the string music gradually adds in, accumulating a strong yearning mood. Rachel uses her voice to speak for Edward rabbit, revealing her love mood. The arrangement of the song "solo" also reflects the background of Rachel's classical music class. The whole song only uses piano and String Quartet, and does not use electric guitar, MIDI, drum and other electronic instruments, which makes this "solo" more fresh. Rae Rui, winner of the award for illustration at the international children's book fair in Bologna, Italy, drew the album illustration to reproduce Edward rabbit's lovely appearance. Because the song "solo" was inspired by picture books, the illustration part was also added in the album design. The record company specially invited Zeng to paint with "who's going to buy air"
