Introduction: Born on May 14, 1971 in Taiwan, my country. When I was listening to vinyl records at home, I could always find the beginning of the first note and play it correctly. I studied in Jiuzhuang Elementary School. Nangang Elementary School, and then transferred to the newest Hu Shi Elementary School. When he was in elementary school, he participated in the school choir, but because his voice was always not good enough for his classmates, he was persuaded to quit by the teacher. When he was 15 years old, his parents asked him to go out in order to cultivate his ability to live independently. Living alone. Xin worked part-time and was responsible for his own living expenses and rent. After graduating from junior high school, Xin was admitted to the art class of Zhongzheng High School. Due to his interest, he initially studied drama at Huagang Art School, majoring in lighting and stage. Design, because of his love for music, he switched to music major, majoring in vocal music and minoring in piano. During school, he violated school rules and participated in an advertising shoot, and was given a major demerit by the school. During his schooling at Huagang Art School, Xin was tutored by his cousin. In 1988, when he was 18 years old, he formed a group with his classmates to participate in Yamaha's second popular music competition. He formed a student band with his classmates and reached the finals. The only amateur group in the finals, the other contestants were both professional bands. During this competition, Xin met Michael, the drummer of Xin Band, who was very popular in the entertainment industry at that time. Teacher Chen Fuming, who was in the record company, auditioned for Xin. However, because he accepted the military order, Xin had to serve in the military and was assigned to serve in Kinmen. When Xin returned from serving in the army, he found that Ke had already been released. It was over. It was already fourteen years before he actually published his own book. After leaving 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. At the age of 22, Xin started to work as a singer in a small pizza shop in Tainan. The musicians who sang in the same pizza shop also included the later very popular Dynamic Train. In addition to working as a singer in a restaurant, he also invested in and ran a luxuriously decorated Shabu Shabu hot pot restaurant. However, due to the huge popularity and fierce competition, the restaurant closed down and he was in debt. During his stay in Kaohsiung, he received a letter from Taiwan's oldest diplomatic music choir. The leader of the group, Cui Kequan, informed him that he was invited 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. From this, 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. 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." 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, the Xin Band albums such as "Dawn" and "Night Without You" 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. Moreover, Xin was spotted by Ai Hui's company and signed a contract, forming a band that later became a hit - 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.
