A good all-around example of my work in The 7 Music Studio as well as my personal music career, this is a song titled 归苏感 (GuiSuGan) that I wrote about the city Suzhou, where I made my home in China. I independently handled every part of this song’s creation, from the initial songwriting up to the publishing process, with the only exception being I did not take the photo used on the cover art, and the song gained some recognition, including a cultural award from the city’s television station. The artist name, 戴天乐, is my Chinese name.

The video above is one of the more successful that I released, and while I did not produce the video, the audio is, as you can see, entirely my work. It is a cover of a song called 平凡之路 (PingFanZhiLu), a song by 朴树 (Pu Shu) that was in a popular movie at the time. The image to the left was taken soon after release, and the number at the top right represents over 100,000 current active viewers. The video amassed several million views across various platforms.

This is an example of an album released by a band I was a part of called 猫头音 or “Owl and Boys”. The album is called “Whose You”, and most of the songs were written by myself and the lead singer Qiqi.

Most of my work in the studio was producing songs for clients, which included arranging, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, all of which added up to a lot of time spent at the workstation in the image to the left, sometimes working with a large team, as in the image below that. The below songs are a representative example, and you can click this text block or the images to open an album page with several of my favorite tracks that I worked on during my time there, convenient for background listening.
