Introduction:

Xin's voice has extremely strong and deep penetrating power, and he interprets rock and roll, roaring, helpless, and naked paranoia. His shouts are filled with touching depth and heartfelt introspection. There is no arrogance or indignation. Xin's singing can start from deep and restrained, and then blend the true and false sounds with a smooth transition. Emotions spread through the tension of the voice. His natural and beautiful transition between true and false tones easily spreads emotions through his voice. A strong emotion contagious magic goes straight into people's hearts, leaving a deep impression on everyone who hears "Xin"'s voice.

Born in Taiwan on May 14, 1971

When I was listening to the vinyl records at home when I was two years old, I could always find the beginning of the first note and play it correctly. This seems to have destined him to pursue a career in music all his life

When he was in elementary school, he participated in the school choir, and his voice was always not good enough for his classmates. The teacher said: Su Jianxin, your voice is very good, but next time you No need to come.

In elementary school, he attended Jiuzhuang Elementary School and Nangang Elementary School, and then transferred to the newest Hu Shi Elementary School.

When he was 15 years old, his parents asked him to go out and live alone in order to cultivate his new ability to live independently. Xin worked part-time and was responsible for his own living expenses and rent.

After graduating from junior high school, I was admitted to the art class of Zhongzheng High School. Due to my interest, I changed to Huagang Art School. I first studied drama in Huagang, majoring in lighting and stage design. Later, because I liked music, I switched to the music major, majoring in vocal music and minoring in piano. While in school, he violated school rules by participating in a commercial shoot and was given a serious demerit by the school.

While attending Huagang Art School, Xin was brought into the pub by his cousin and began his singing career. And thus accumulated rich performance experience.

In 1988, when Shin was 18 years old, he formed a group with his classmates to participate in Yamaha's second popular music competition. Shin and his classmate's student band reached the finals and were the only amateur group in the finals. The other contestants are full-time professional bands. And Zhang Yusheng was the first champion. During this competition, Xin met Michael, who later became the drummer of Xin's band. Michael's band also won the "Best Group Award" that year.

After the competition, Mr. Chen Fuming from Keden Records, who was popular in the entertainment industry at the time, wrote to audition. However, due to receiving a military order, Shin had to serve in the military, thus missing the opportunity to make a record. When Xin came back from serving in the army, he found that Ke Deng Records had ended. It would be fourteen years before he actually published his own book.

While serving in the army, Xin was assigned to serve in Kinmen.

After retiring from the army, Xin once tried to work in the catering industry, so he went to work in a Sichuan restaurant. After washing dishes for a month, he decided to return to the road of music.

Starting from a small pizza shop in Tainan at the age of 22, Xin became a singer again. The musicians who sang at the same pizza place also included the later very popular Power Train.

While singing in pubs, Xin met Tomi, the keyboard player, and Xiaohua, the bass player of Xin’s band.

This period of pub career has been a good training for Xin and Xin’s friends. Everyone has learned more than 3,000 songs during it.

During the period of pub singing, Xin Zai traveled all over Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, and gradually became known to pub bosses everywhere. They understood Xin’s strength and knew that he was very good at attracting customers. With his wandering temperament and unstable personality, Xin has never been able to get a stable singing job.

During this decade-long singing career, Xin could not help but feel resentful of life. Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain had a great influence on Xin.

When he came to Taichung, Xin seriously wanted to settle down and stayed in Taichung for four years. Working hard to make money, I started singing every day at ten o'clock in the evening, with a two-hour folk song performance in between. In total, I had to perform for six hours a day. After singing for the last hour, it was dawn.

During this period, Xin partnered with several friends and opened a vast and luxuriously decorated Shabu Shabu hot pot restaurant in Taichung. The total investment was nearly two million, and there were also famous paintings in the store. It's almost like an art museum.

However, due to Xin’s personal reasons and the jealousy and squeezing among his colleagues, Xin’s hot pot restaurant closed soon after half a year, and he was in debt.

In order to make money, Xin once sang at the Friday Cowherd shop in Taichung before leaving Taichung.

But after I debuted, this experience became the focus of magazines digging for insider information. They thought Xin was working as a Cowherd in a Cowherd shop. In the words of the letter: "I was so fat at that time that I was not qualified to be a cowherd."

Later on, the Cowherd shop became a big hit and was frequently raided by the police. Then it closed down. Xin's income dropped sharply and he could no longer survive, so Xin had to look for other opportunities again.

After that, Xin went to Kaohsiung and stayed for a year. During this year, Xin was extremely lacking in self-confidence, thinking that he would never be able to make another film, and he dealt with life negatively.

While in Kaohsiung, Xin received a call from Cui Kequan, the director of the Diplomatic Choir, the oldest orchestra in Taiwan, inviting him to join the Diplomatic Choir as the lead singer.

After one week of joining the Diplomacy Chorus, Xin was noticed by Keith Stuart, one of the lead singers of Diplomacy, and signed a contract with him.

Thus, Xin lived a stable life for two years.

Later, Xin began to prepare the album seriously, and left the Diplomatic Chorus together with Keith Stuart, Zhan Lingchao, and Dai Ailing.

However, during this period, although Shin signed a contract with Rolling Stone Records, he did not release a record for three years. Due to preparations for the album, Xin could not continue singing in pubs, so he began to use his expertise in cooking and started selling curry rice.

Xin once struggled with his dream of setting up a roadside stall selling curry rice, but the reality is that Xin must rely on this income to survive. At that time, he was really poor, a kind of poverty without any choice. The letter said: "This is the bottom of life. I want to tell all young friends, no matter how big the blow is, never give up your ideals and hopes, because hope is the most important."

In such a poor situation, Xin could not even raise money for food. At the age of 30, he started smoking just because he heard that smoking can stave off hunger.

Xin began to return to the pub as a substitute, and the first substitute he took was Fan Yichen.

During this period, Xin also began to learn to write songs. Later, "Dawn" and "Night Without You" in Xin's band albums were the works of this difficult period.

After that, Xin met his girlfriend who had a great influence on his life, and began a long-distance love affair that lasted seven years.

Furthermore, Xin was spotted by Ai Huihui’s company and signed a contract, forming what would become a smash hit band - Xin Band.

Xin's life began to undergo a big change, and the Xin Band gradually became a rock band in Taiwan.

However, due to the expiration of the economic contract and the arrangements of the record company. Shin Zai Shin chose to go solo on March 20, 2007, five years after the band was established. Thus began the magnificent journey of a person, a high-pitched voice, in the music world.

We expect that this kind of introduction will become more and more exciting because of Xin’s voice.

This introduction refers to the book "Believe in Rock and Roll and Get Eternal Life".

The following are Xin’s achievements in music in recent years:

Although he would feel frustrated and frustrated because of these misunderstandings, he never thought of leaving.

Without giving up good lyrics, Xin sang both versions and made an innovative design in the album.

That is, "What are you doing" is included in the album, and fans who purchase the genuine album are also provided with an exclusive serial number, so that in addition to the 11 songs in the album, they can also exclusively digitally download the song "I It’s me”!
