Personal experience

Joyce, born on1989165438+10.3, has loved music since he can remember. At an early age, she made up her mind to live a life full of music. Her enthusiasm for music creation makes people think that she must have started writing songs at the age of seven. Otherwise, how could she make every song in her first album sound so mature and refined? Regarding this musical dream that has been hidden for many years, she said: "For a long time, I didn't want to share this dream with anyone, or even let my parents know that I started taking piano lessons when I was almost seven years old. Finally, I told the secret to my two sisters-Victoria and Sarah. I have never cried so much in my life. Sarah always tells me not to worry. She said,' It doesn't matter, we won't talk to each other. She thinks I'm crazy. "

Day after day, Joyce tried to break the relationship between herself and music. In addition to continuing to take piano lessons, she also increased her singing training, listening to her idol TracyChapman every day and practicing her guitar playing skills. By the time 16 years old, she had put three songs on her MySpace blog. At the same time, I also sent the audition tape to MichaelGoldman, the founder of MyMajorCompany, a music creation website. Michael reluctantly agreed to give Joyce an audition. Joyce seized this rare opportunity and completely conquered Michael's heart as soon as they met.

MyMajorCompany is a platform that provides two-way interaction between fans and singers. Founded in 2007, it put the excavated singer's works on the website, and then netizens made pledges for their favorite singers. When many netizens have accumulated a certain amount of investment, the singer will use the money as the fund for recording the album. The singer's album is released and listed, and fans who generously support the singer can get a considerable proportion of feedback. This website platform successfully realized the dream of amateur singer Reva in 2008, and the first album created a sales miracle of more than 800,000 copies.

Joyce is the first female singer on the MyMajorCompany music platform. Since joining the platform in 2007, she has won the love and support of many netizens, and quickly accumulated 70,000 euros needed to make a record. So Joyce took this raised recording fund and produced the French first lady/supermodel/singer Carla Bruni's 2003 French number one album "Quelquunmadit" with the famous producer Louisbertignac (* lead singer and guitarist of French rock band Telephone) in the 1970s and 1980s, and put it.

Joyce wrote all the songs in the album "Guarding Love" by herself. Between the lines, she shared her feelings about life and some thoughts of the younger generation about being in the world of love and facing the future. In melody, she shows the style of pop music and unplugged folk guitar through the combination of soft guitar, carefree piano sound and lively percussion instruments, sometimes light and unrestrained, and sometimes gentle and moving. This album contains two songs that caused a browsing craze on YouTube. One of them is a sad and meticulous love song _ overflowing Chu _besoindetoi, with a total of more than 3.48 million people, and the other is a popular masterpiece _ Climbing nesaispas, with a total of nearly 5 million people, which makes people want to infect themselves with rhythm and good mood. As soon as the album was released in France, it won unanimous praise, not only won the second place in iTunes French pop album list, but also obtained platinum record certification in local sales in France!

When she was very young, she fell in love with folk music. At the age of five, she wrote her first song, which showed her talent in music, including playing guitar and piano. Now she has just joined bac, but she has written more than 100 songs. Natural and fluent guitar playing, fresh and touching pop melodies and innocent and romantic urban folk songs are all charming characteristics of contemporary female singers. This French girl, who likes to write songs and sing with her guitar, brought a brand-new French folk song in her debut album "Guarding Love", as if walking on the streets of Paris.

Growing up in a family that loves China culture, and her mother is a well-known French local cultural tourism expert in China, Joyce has also developed a strong interest in China culture since childhood, and has also integrated this love into his music, especially recording jenesaispas I don't know, pasbesoindetoi doesn't need you, Lifelong Happiness and unpeud'espoir fans in Taiwan Province Province.
