[Biography] Mao Buyi

Mao Buyi, the singer who reached the top without changing his style at all

Usually when you want to be famous, or when it happens, you have to wear fashionable things. You have to obey the requirements of this world. But Mao Buyi succeeded only by defying all the conventions of the entertainment world.

The boy's name was Wang Weijia, who was born on October 1, 1994 in the far north of China. His parents, who are government employees, got him at a very old age. That's why they didn't put pressure on him as much as his siblings and told him that if he's happy he'll get it.

When he entered college, her chosen major was nursing. He was 22 years old. In his last year of college, he became an intern nurse at a hospital in Hangzhou.

Nursing work is not easy. He even tried to change his major when he was pressured by the doctors. But to change majors, he needed better grades and his grades were not good.

So, during the internship, he had to find a way to give himself an outlet. Pen and paper became his outlet, writing songs.

If he has to write songs, his mental pressure is relieved. It was for this simple reason that he decided to learn the guitar while writing songs. Isn't it the most basic instrument for bringing written songs to life?

Mao Buyi is cold, but he embraced the people around him, So his first song was for his sister who was going to the wedding.

While writing songs in the dormitory, Mao Buyi's life began to take a turn. In 2017, when he entered The Coming One competition held by Tencent, he doesn't wear makeup, The clothes are not unusual. After all, he is not handsome. With big round glasses on his face, his appearance was really out of the ordinary.

Not only that, but the music experience is almost non-existent. At the time of making the introduction video, when the shooting side had a problem, when his guitar string broke, he had to retake it 3 times as he watched in amazement because he had not seen the celebrities before. (When he competed, the referees were Yang Mi, Xue Zhiqian and Hua Chenyu)

It was this unassuming, ordinary Santa that made him stand out in the competition. His songs are not romantic love songs. It's about hopelessness, the goal is not met,  want to be rich. The name of the song that entered the first contest was even called "If I'm Rich One Day". He wrote it while he was still short of money when he was a trainee nurse.

He won that contest, after the competition, when he performed in Beijing and Chengdu, 300,000 people came to see this new singer.

When he worked as a nurse, Mao Buyi witnessed hundreds of people die. But the first one is his mother. Even after his mother's death, he still sends messages on his mother's WeChat whenever he remembers.

Mao Buyi is a true singer who is not an idol. In interviews, he only answers one question at a time. But people love his style, They like it, people dream of listening to his songs. QQ Chart every time a new song is released. It is always at the top of the Billboard Chart. Idol singers reach the top because fans stream them, but he is really because the public and passers-by listening to them. He can write songs they like, I could say.

They liked him so much that the media even called him China's Bob Dylan. His lyrics are simple; but more mature than his age, he is less talkative, but the sound of the song is easy to listen to.

Later, as Mao Buyi became more popular, he also appeared on TV programs. When Chuang 2020 let him dance, the fans loved it. Even when he played it again in Back to Field, people were still in shock.

In China (mainland), there is no such thing as a music award. Almost at the same level as Golden Horse is Golden Bell from Taiwan, and in China (mainland) Tencent / QQ / Weibo etc. are mostly done according to their own platforms. But Mao Buyi has won almost all of these awards.

Mao Buyi does not take shortcuts; After reaching the top of the music industry in 6 years, his attitude has not changed. People liked this, and he gave them thought-provoking melodies. It's giving.
