He left Taiwan Province Province in the third grade. Because of the previous bilingual environment (Bethany Bilingual School), Tao Zhe quickly merged into the independent and free atmosphere of American high schools. In order to enrich his life experience, he not only worked in a coarse sugar factory, a musical instrument store, a shoe factory and a clothing store, but also served as an extra in the movie Black Rain. But what he really likes is to be a clerk in the musical instrument industry, because he can deal with music anytime and anywhere.
Surprisingly, in order to exercise his "literary" image, Tao Zhe applied for a police post in Los Angeles without telling his parents after graduating from university.
Speaking of music, Tao Zhe said: "Music is a blessing and a curse of God." Despite many strange work experiences, God guided Tao Zhe to the road of music. He showed musical talent at an early age. Because of his father, Tao Dawei, Tao Zhe was exposed to western music when he was five or six years old, and began to contact guitar when he was a teenager. He is too crazy to go to the toilet.
After graduating from high school, Tao Zhe fell in love with The Beatles and grew long hair. He and his friends formed a band and immersed themselves in the rhythm of heavy metals every day.
Tao Zhe is 23 years old, and he will face a choice. He met someone at the music store again, or he wouldn't have run away. It's about music. After all, it is time to face the music. It was a coincidence that I met Wang Zhiping in the music store. He often goes back to the video store where he used to work, meets regularly and catches up with old friends. One day, in a musical instrument shop, he saw an oriental communicating with the clerk in very nonstandard English, so he kindly acted as an interpreter. Only then did he know that the man was also from Taiwan Province, the producer of Wang Zhiping's Boys.
Become friends because of the topic of music. After listening to several songs he had composed before, Wang Zhiping adopted them gladly. Not only that, Wang Zhiping also hoped that he would consider returning to Taiwan Province and devote himself to music. For him, this is a choice.
If you stay in LA, you can be a laid-back American, but when you return to Taiwan Province Province, a strange place, you can choose your favorite music as your job. He faced himself and thought about it several times. If you don't jump into the water, you will never learn to swim. Without taking a step forward, music is still a goal, a dream, and still out of reach. Finally, determined, he chose to return to Taiwan Province Province.
Under the recommendation of Wang Zhiping, Tao Zhe extended his tentacles to this once familiar and extremely unfamiliar Taiwanese market, and successively helped singers such as Chan Sarah, Yang Caini, Eric Suen Yiu Wai Yaowei, LA BOYZ and Zhou Baoyuan as producers, gradually opening up their popularity.
With more and more attention and applause, Tao Zhe began to think about his creative attempt. He had to live in his own music to fully express what he wanted to say. So he went to Hollywood to "learn from the teacher" and found a teacher in the same school as Michael Jackson to practice his voice more freely.
A little distance in language was quickly overcome. On the contrary, his life experience abroad and the cultivation of western music for many years make his music style bright and carefree, full of pleasant and frank California characteristics. However, because of the perfectionism and neuroticism of Cancer, she suffered a lot in the creative process. This "God's curse" made Tao Zhe "often think of a lyric or rhythm in the middle of the night, and he would jump up and finish it." He kept criticizing and pondering until he was satisfied, and he was willing to record the whole song in the studio.
