Early Experience
Singer Luo Baiji from Taiwan, known as the "music child", he was the pioneer and representative of Taiwan's electronic dance music, the most noteworthy, Luo Baiji is Southeast Asia's best dance music original DJ, leading the new trend of dance music. Someone once said about Luo Baiji: in a party house of 20,000 to 30,000 people in Southeast Asia, as long as there is Luo Baiji, he can surely make all the people excited until dawn. Luo Baiji first came to the seven stars big ring to do the program, the most unexpected is that he is on stage off stage is simply a different person, on stage strong song and dance, but off stage is quiet like a new world of big boys naive.
The teenage years
Before the age of seventeen, Luo Baiji spent time in the United States, Western culture and music on the young Luo Baiji had a great influence, especially rock and black dance, on him a great influence in school, he tried to go to the dance halls as a DJ.
Breakthrough in Taiwan
While Luo Baiji's Chinese language is not fluent, but his parents after all, the Chinese language is not very good, but the Chinese language is not very good, but the Chinese language is not very good. Although Luo Baiji's Chinese is not fluent, his parents are Taiwanese after all, because his parents have been in the United States, independent and free when he was seventeen years old, that is, in 1988, to get the approval of his parents, they came to Taiwan to learn Chinese. Luo Baiji learning Chinese while working as a DJ in a dance club, his crazy songs and dances, let people recognize him as a "music child", he deservedly became the representative figure of Taiwan's dance music at that time. What's amazing about Luo Baiji is that he is not only a singer who sings and dances wildly, but he is also an excellent music producer and songwriter. As of 2010, Luo Baiji has released 10 solo albums. At the same time, Luo Baiji has also done a lot of music arrangements, compositions and lyrics writing.
Marriage
Since 1994, Luo Baiji has been releasing albums at the rate of one per year: in 1994, he released his first album, "Obasan", which caused a sensation in Taiwan as well as Southeast Asia, and the following year he released his second album, "Sacred Ball", and in the third year, he published his third, "FridayNight", and only three years after that, he published his fourth album, "Everybody Scream", which included his duet with Su Huilun, "OK? OK!", and in 2000, he published his fifth album, "Genes".
From 1996 to 1999, Robaki didn't release a single album. During those years, he was struggling through that unhappy marriage. Luo Baiji's wife is also in the music circle, is a music producer, because of their personality differences, they often for financial advice do not agree and quarrel, a few years of married life, quarrels between them is a commonplace, and then there is a serious financial dispute, during this period of time he did not have the mood or time to produce an album, and finally they had to break up in 1998. Roberge said he was very afraid of remarrying, and after the divorce, he kept fantasizing about buying a house in the desert and living there alone. After the divorce, he often returned to the United States to join his parents, and every time he took a plane over the great Las Vegas desert, this unrealistic thought would pop into his head.
Musical versatility
Lo Baiji in the album for himself, he also at the same time for other singers to do music, such as the earliest he had produced the first three music albums for L．ABOY, and then also gave many famous singers have done singles, some are arrangements, some composers, and some write lyrics, such as: Anita Mui's "let go of your mind"; Tsang Ching-yu's "The next man may be Better" by Anita Mui; "The Next Man May Be Better" by Tsang Ching Yu; "Happiness is About to Burn Out" by To Tak Wai; "Duck" by Su Huilun; "Angle" by Lin Chih-Ying; "File Ice March" and "Miss Wallflower" by Aya, and so on. He has also scored many movies.
Looking back at Su Huilun's illustrious career as a singer that spanned the 1990s, "Ok?Ok!" from the album "Duck" should be considered an important piece, even though it's a cover of DJ D.O.C.'s "Beauty and the Beast," and even though Su's performance on the song is not as good as his own. Although Soo's performance on the track can only be described as moderate, the brilliant Rap segment between Robakis and Ren Xianqi is recognized as the highlight of the track, which is the reason why it has survived to this day.
As a behind-the-scenes, similar success stories abound for Law Baiji. Aya's hit song "File Ice March" and one of her masterpieces, "Miss Wallflower," were arranged by him, and Anita Mui's important Mandarin work "Let Go of Your Mind" was also composed and arranged by Law Baiji.
The ups and downs
On the other hand, as a singer, Luo Baiji also had unlimited popularity, he was released in the mid to late 1990s several hit records almost monopolized the Chinese dance music record market, from "Obasan" to "Sacred Dance Party" and then "FridayNight", I believe that many of the friends who have been in the disco at that time are in the DJJerry (Luo Baiji) music to enjoy a crazy thrill. With the arrival of the new century, a variety of music types have seized the Chinese pop music market, Luo Baiji's music can no longer be as popular as before, his downhill from the "everyone together called" began, career and family failures and even once knocked down the childishness of the full of him, and even staged an emotional outburst of anger after he smashed Wu Zongxian's expensive sports car shock farce, a time for the public to his complete loss of confidence. He lost all confidence in him for a while. Maybe it was an emotional outburst, maybe it was a wake-up call, but in any case, DJ Jerry finally released his new album, "Asian Nights" in 2004, and it's clear that he's not the same person he used to be.
Rising Again
Back then, if it wasn't for the fact that "Asian Nights" had just been released, one would have thought it had been made at least as long ago as the last century, because it was almost indistinguishable from Robaki's work from seven or eight years earlier. It's no exaggeration to say that if you put his debut album "Obasan", released in 1994, together with this "Asian Nights", some people would believe that they are a double album set. Some may say that "Asian Nights" has absorbed a lot of new elements, such as the synth loops with oriental melodic features in the title track, which is suspected to be Lee Jung Hyun's famous song, and the slightly trance-flavored arrangement of "Wind", but if you have listened to the works of Luo Baiji nearly ten years ago, I believe that nobody will say such a thing again, because, at that time, DJs were very good. Unfortunately, after all these years, Jerry is still the same Jerry, but the market is no longer the same, and it's dangerous to stick to one's own style in the face of a large majority of fans who have almost no musical stance and tend to follow blindly but for no reason at all, unless that style happens to be something they're not interested in for no good reason. style happens to be something they're irrationally enamored of.
Want to know what kind of person Roberge is? Just listen to "Sayonara" and "SaddemEsayO" on the record, two tracks that sound like two people on and off the stage, a pair of tracks that appear on every record, perhaps an unintentional message to the world. In fact, there is a pair of such pieces on each of his records, which may be his unintentional way of conveying a certain message to the outside world. If "Asian Nights" is what Roberge had to do in order to get on board with the so-called dance music trend, then "Sayonara" is the quintessential JerryStyle, with its simple yet upwardly mobile melodies, childish lyrics, and exemplary The simple, upwardly mobile melody, childishly cute lyrics, and exemplary techno music are just like Roberge's usual favorites: burgers and coke, no frills, simple and straightforward, one step at a time. "SaddemEsayO" is an absolutely standard Ro's love song, with the same straightforward melody and almost unadorned vocals, except that time has passed, and Jerry can't quite pull off the vocal delivery that he did back in the day; he's a little out of his depth.
This "Asian Nights" will be a comeback for Roberts for reasons that have as little to do with the record itself as they did with Roberts' success a decade ago, and as little to do with his music itself. In the Chinese record market, never is the market to create music and people, never music and man-made on the market, ten years ago, the market needs dance music, so the achievements of Luo Baiji, ten years after the market needs R& B, so there is a Zhou Tianwang, which is not to be blamed, but there is a point worth noting, that is, when our record market needs a certain kind of music, then basically the whole Chinese record industry will be When our record market needs a certain kind of music, then basically the whole Chinese record industry will focus on that kind of music and leave all other music behind. From our practitioners to music fans, there are many who envy the maturity and health of the overseas record market, but few have noticed that one of the characteristics of the overseas record market is that a hundred schools of thought and a hundred flowers bloom, there may be a certain kind of music in a certain period of time, but at the same time the other kinds of music have not shrunk, and there are still a lot of loyal music fans to support the backing of the music market, but what about us? In that respect, Robitaille remains a veritable hero in the history of Chinese pop music.
