Character Evaluation
Small Ke has found his place in the singing world with his own understanding of music and hard work. His music has been widely sung, and Xiao Ke is lucky to be one of the youngest and most popular musicians in China. In the music road that Xiao Ke has traveled, he knows that he can't do without the help and support of his like-minded friends.
Small Ke's musical works are mostly love songs with a hint of sadness, but these sentimental love songs have definitely not affected his personal view of love.
Smaller Ke is one of the musicians I've seen with the best family upbringing and artistic training. He grew slightly fat, wearing a casual sweater and corduroy pants to give people a feeling of simplicity, speaking voice with a hint of huskiness at first listen to give people a feeling of the old and heavy, laugh naive to give people the feeling of a rare child-like frankness. I remember the first time I listened to his music or a university girl in Beijing, to do this article interview, I with joy and admiration, Xiao Ke completely without being a celebrity sense of superiority, he is like a normal heart like a long-lost good friend of mine sitting in front of me, seriously answer my questions. It was one of the most informative interviews I've ever done, and listening to Ke tell his story was just as enjoyable as listening to his music."
Fan: "I think the reason why Kirk made such a strong impression on me can be summed up in one word - light - the tunes of his songs are neither rhythm and blues with such a pronounced tempo that you can wiggle your stupid ass over it nor the sheer It's very calm and light, as if he's telling a story and talking about the truth, and when he gets excited, he occasionally bursts out with a shout that makes your heart flutter. People compare the song to a girl, the tune is like the appearance, direct and external; lyrics such as the heart, indirect and introverted. So what can catch our heart for a long time is more of Xiao Ke's lyrics, such as "Remote View" inside the exciting youth, such as "poor mouth Zhang Damin" theme song inside the free and easy, such as "What should I do? "
Small Ke's lyrics are very distinctive, perhaps because of his age, and they always have a feeling of youthfulness, even if it's a temporary setback, but also a feeling of tearfulness."
Ke has won several awards for best composer and best producer in the pop music industry, and has composed several popular musical works and worked as a music producer for a number of singers.
