Singer profile

Cao Qin, from the ancient city of Xi'an, an important town of rock music, grew up listening to pop music when he was young. He began to contact rock music, play guitar and form a band in junior high school. During junior high school and University, he has formed many bands and participated in many performances. He has always been a lead singer and guitarist in the band. Cao Qin is a Pisces man who thinks he is sensitive, delicate, soft and firm. Used to fantasy, always be moved by the plot of novels and movies, in such a moving flow is not tears, but from the heart of the melody and music. I often face the sky like a child in the still night full of broken stars, telling loneliness and perceiving purity a person who is used to loneliness, a loner who only likes to use music to express his mood, a man who can completely relax himself only when talking with music, he regards his favorite music as a part of his life. Accustomed to thinking about problems and life with music, used to enriching life and self with music, I always feel that when music is missing, I am living in a weightless state, floating in the world, but without direction. His music has the flavor of British rock, simple and powerful, simple and unadorned, but has a strong personal color and explosive power. Different from those restless heavy rock, his music style is sentimental and thought-provoking. If you listen carefully, you can always find your own shadow from his world. Emotional music, coupled with his infectious voice and the singing skill of freely changing true and false voice, always makes his songs have a different feeling. Whether you are from his lyrics or his melody, you can hear what belongs to him and you. Therefore, Cao Qin's rock is definitely a beautiful voice in rock music. It not only has beautiful melody, but also has strength and cry! From 2003 when Guo Chuanlin discovered his first record, to 2005 when he signed a contract with Zheng Jun's denghuo culture company, to 2007 when he terminated the contract, to cooperating with Taiwan producer Huang Weihao and almost going to Singapore to release his first EP, to being praised by Shuimu Nianhua and writing the song "the meaning of life"... Cao Qin's music career in recent years seems to be moving up and down The ups and downs test his willingness to pursue his dreams, and the loss again and again torments his pure heart of pursuing music. However, he never gives up, insists and waits patiently, because he "can't leave" and can't put down his favorite music! These years of experience also gave Cao Qin a deeper understanding of music and life, and a more peaceful grasp of the direction of music. "It doesn't matter whether I rock or not. I just want to make simple and pleasant music. Although the rock spirit is always in my blood, and the band expression is always my hobby, the most important thing is to turn my feelings into notes and naturally reveal them. Now I advocate more casual nature, without losing personality. I can't become a numb commodity on the production line, and I don't have to rock and roll deliberately to pretend to be deep. This is my music direction. The world is too crazy. I want to be normal. The world is too complicated. I want to be simple. "
