R&B is a gift from God to music. lively. bright. changeable. It is not as quirky as jazz, nor is it as noisy and grand as rock and roll. It is a very restrained yet passionate style of music that can make you cry in peace. The agility of the music, the shock of the drums, the surging rhythm... Listening to Ramp; B always makes you restless, and your heart rises, calms and vents. Incisively and vividly. Qiu Zhimo is a gift given to music by Quanzhou. unique. vivid. magic. He is often invited as a guest by the media and stands out in various activities; he has a large group of fans in Quanzhou; he insists on his own personalized music creation; he longs for his music style to be recognized by everyone. He sang R&B in Hokkien, using such a familiar and friendly accent to interpret a dream about music. [Support our music and support our musicians] "I just know my heart / My heart aches to death / You said that everything about you is in the past / You are willing to know my heart, and you will leave after saying this / Only then did I know my love / My love is all for you / You said everything about you is meaningless / I know how Ruan loves you / I hope you will see it..." ——Qiu Zhimou, "Rescue", 2006 5 In August, Quanzhou radio station FM105.9 The Voice of Citon launched the special program "Good Songs, Strong Rolling", which recommended five golden songs in Hokkien every day. Song PK was conducted based on listeners' text messages. The song with the highest number of votes was selected as the most popular song among listeners. favorite songs. Among the sea of ??songs gathered by well-known Hokkien singers such as Xiang Huiling, Wang Shixian, Huang Yiling, and the Desk Duo, Quanzhou local singer Qiu Zhimou's original song "Rescue" was deeply favored by listeners and stood out with an absolute advantage in votes. "Redeem" is Zhimo's first song and the starting point of his music creation. "At first, it was just a friend's introduction to the online song contest. Then I saw that there were many original works in it, and they were all quite good, so I came up with the idea of ????composing music. I myself like the style of R&B very much, and because it is Quanzhou I love Hokkien very much, and I have been trying to combine the two. Just like Mayday, Shi Wenbin, and blind singer Xiao Huangqi did in 2004, I found some accompaniments on the Internet and wrote the lyrics myself. Re-arrange it so that you have the first song. "Zhimo said that "Rescue" took only two days to complete and was inspired by the love story of a colleague. At that time, because I really liked listening to the Hokkien program "Just Happy", I voted for my debut film "Just Happy". Unexpectedly, I became "famous" all of a sudden. After that, out of control, Zhimo began his wonderful journey of music creation. During the day, he works as an auto parts mold designer and works a full 10 hours a day. But at night, he dived into the music hall. From 2004 to 2005, he composed nearly 10 songs in one go, including "Secret Traces", "Zero Point Difference", "Looking for You", "Perfect" "Self"...Zhimo's songs began to be played on Quanzhou radio stations, most of which were Hokkien songs. Ask Zhimo, why do you love Hokkien songs more? He said with a smile, supporting our mother's voice. And let me ask my listeners, why do you like Zhimo’s songs? They answered without hesitation that they supported our music. [Dream with music, grow while hurting] "Singing is waiting for you/show yourself/what is/are you willing to need this life to be your companion/how is it to show yourself/here is a sentence/what kind of joy can express my mood /Which is your stimulating feeling? Just do it/Mai Zao Le small style Dai Zhi Zhu La and talk about it..." - Qiu Zhimou's "Just Be Happy" Some Quanzhou media began to invite Zhimo to participate in their activities. Valentine's Day, May Day, Christmas... As an event guest, Zhimo often has the opportunity to perform on stage. He sang songs he wrote on stage, accompanied by dances he choreographed, making him a star-studded singer. Under the stage, there were waving balloons and fluorescent sticks, and the atmosphere was thick and warm. Soon, Zhimo gained a group of loyal fans.

They yelled Gambit's name when he appeared, expertly soft-spoken when he sang. However, Zhimo, who was immersed in joy, did not expect that on the road of pursuing music, there must be tears wherever there is laughter. "It was probably 2005. I participated in the Pepsi Rising Stars Competition with a few friends. I successfully advanced to the top six and represented Quanzhou in Fuzhou to participate in the competition. However, once I got there, I lost my advantage and was immediately rejected... and finally won the prize. The singers who sing are all current popular songs. In comparison, the songs and singing methods I created are weird. Maybe they can't accept it." Zhimo said that he will never forget crying with two or three singers in Fuzhou. situation. The defeat in the competition undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on his enthusiastic head at that time, not only because his efforts were not recognized, but also because he had doubts about the music style he loved. After that, Zhimo successively participated in the "Jinjiang Top Ten Singers Competition" and "Happy Quanzhou", but unfortunately he failed to reach the end. The reason also lies in the peculiar music style. The repeated failures made Zhimo taste the bitter taste, but Zhimo always chose to persevere. He said, "Frustrations can only make me work harder, sum up the lessons of each failure, and strengthen my direction of progress." [As long as I work hard, I will move forward. There's always a day to come.] "I'm dreaming early/I feel really relaxed/Wash my hands and eat breakfast/I am a hard-working man/Go out of my future/I have to treat it with my heart/Have my own wonderful things/(The world is a big stage ) you/Obasan on the roadside/She told me that I love to dream/Work hard without any hard work/The job that leads to success..." ——Qiu Zhimo, "I want to succeed" Nowadays, Zhimo is able to be calm Face competitions face to face and regard them as experiences that must be accumulated on the road to pursuing your music dream. He said, "I really wanted to be a singer before, because I saw some singers in singer profiles who created their own creations and became famous, and they also got on track through singing competitions. For example, my favorite singer-songwriter Hu Yanbin went through many competitions. He just came out!! So I have always regarded his success as my motivation! But now, I have given up my fantasy and just want to make good music." 06 In 2016, Zhimo produced his second personal music album. The new song "I Want to Make a Difference" has changed from the past sensational and melancholy, and has a strong inspirational meaning. The rhythm is bright and cheerful, the style is pleasant and graceful, and it is full of confidence and warmth. As soon as the song was broadcast on the radio, it immediately aroused enthusiastic response, and many listeners called to ask for Zhimo's album. "My future/The whole world has my dream/Take it seriously/Okay, I always have a job/Shout it out loud/I love the world/Troubled Daichi/Throw it all aside/I want a big stage/Show it out The excitement of my youth..." Zhimou told reporters that he will not give up his dream of music. He believes that no matter who he is, as long as he persists in his beliefs and keeps working hard, there will always be a day when he will succeed.
