New band rocks
“轻松玩”音乐,快乐唱摇滚!
Imagine what you will be doing in seven years. Are you getting your
first job or just studying in another country?
When the Taiwan band Relax One (轻松玩) was formed in 1998, they wanted to release their own albums. And
now they have.
When the four group members came to the mainland to promote their
first album "I Want Relax One", they told Teens how they made their
dream come true.
Guitarist Xiaomao set up his own music studio when he was only 17
after he graduated from Danjiang
High School. This is the
same high school from which other stars graduated, including Jay Chou and
Monster from Mayday.
"It doesn't mean you are a loser simply because you don't like
school," Xiaomao believed. He had a good time hanging around with music
lovers. Then he met drummer A-kui , who was rather rebellious at that time.
Both A-kui's parents are high school teachers. Born in such a family
meant few choices for him- going to a good university and finding a decent (体面的) job seemed to be his future.
A-kui was already on that road, being a top student in one of the top high
schools in Taiwan.
"But I didn't want to be planned," said A-kui. He took up
drumming. The reason that he didn't choose guitar or bass was simply that they
were too costly.
"To learn to play drums, all you need is a pair of
drumsticks," A-kui said with a smile. "My family didn't want me to do
music so I didn't have the money to buy a guitar."
Xiaorenguo was A-kui's fellow student in Alethia University,
majoring in information management. Being infected by A-kui's enthusiasm for
music, he began playing bass (贝司).
They formed a band. Parents' objections, financial pressure and
changing of band members - nothing stopped their dream.
And then lead vocalist (主唱) Summer, who now writes all the songs, joined in 1998.
Summer loved singing when she was a kid.
After graduating from Fu Jen University, she began her exploration of music.
Her voice and talent for writing songs were acknowledged (得到承认) before she joined the band.
She had written songs for other singers, such as China Dolls (中国娃娃). Some producers even tried to
persuade her to develop a career on her own.
But Summer insisted on staying with the band. "We are like a
family," Summer explained.
