The record company paved the way for him to enter the mainland and Taiwan.

⊙05 Warner Newcomer--Fang Datong
Music and Me--Fang Datong
No matter what time it is, my mind is filled with music. Because my father is a drummer, the house is always filled with music, and I learned to play the drums when I was 4 years old. When I was 5 years old, my parents took me to see a movie about the life of Ritchie Valens, the legendary rock'n roll singer in the 1950s, which opened up my music world. From then on, I was obsessed with rock'n roll in the 1950s. My favorite singer was Buddy Holly. , Jackie Wilson, Eddie Cockran, The Penguins, Elvis and Ritchie Valens; and if it weren’t for the inspiration of movies, I wouldn’t be making the music I love.
When I was a kid, I always liked to dress up and play the guitar, and I would also perform and sing at friends’ parties and community events from time to time. One day, my parents took me, who was only 5 and a half years old, to participate in a singing competition. I remember that I sang "Blueberry Hill" by FatsDominos and unexpectedly won the championship in the junior category! But at that time, I still didn’t quite understand what happened, including the competition, my first trophy and the 500 yuan bonus.
When I was 8 years old, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson’s music, so I bought all his works and spent a lot of time imitating his dance moves; because I always brought Michael Jackson with me every time I performed in public. shadow, so he is still nicknamed "Little Michael Jackson".
In the mid-90s, I listened to Boyz II Men and Babyface, and the only Ramp and B/Soul music I listened to was Stevie Wonder (I bought all his CDs); at the same time, I was influenced by SlowHand Eric Clapton and learned Play the guitar.
Babyface’s music inspired me to embark on a creative journey. At first I tried to use the guitar to write songs, but I found that the piano could express some musical styles better than the guitar, so I started learning piano again. On the other hand, although my first creative work was an English song, I also tried to write Chinese songs because I wanted to develop in Asia. I have composed a lot of Chinese music since I was 17 years old.
In recent years I have been influenced by neo-soul movement, and my creations have returned to my 70s style. These great Soul singers include Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donnie Hathaway, James Brown, Earth Wind & Fire, Isley Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, The Funkadelics and so on.
When I write songs and arrange them, I already have a complete and clear image in my mind of what I want the song to sound and feel from beginning to end, and most of these creations are Going back to the music style of synths and electric piano that I loved in the 1970s.
