First, ups and downs.
Adu, formerly known as Du Cheng Yi, became popular at the age of 26. From 2002 to 2004, three albums were released, each of which sold well. At that time, it can be said that songs were everywhere in Southeast Asia, so Adu won the first place in the major song lists and won numerous awards, and was called "the king of Asian love songs" by the media. Adu did not feel the slightest pleasure in his singing career, but felt unprecedented fear. After 2004, the album quality and sales of Adu declined year by year. Adu is in pain, and there are rumors that he has depression. Although Adu has been trying to set a record, his popularity is not as good as before.
Second, a loveless childhood.
Adu was born in a very ordinary Chinese family in Singapore. He is the third of his five brothers and sisters. At the age of 6, his parents divorced, which brought him serious mental trauma. His father didn't fulfill his obligation to raise children, and his mother raised them alone. Mother left a noodle stall and went out early and came back late every day, so she had no time to take care of them. When he was a child, his mother sent him to his uncle or grandmother to protect him. His uncle has a bad temper, and Adu is afraid of making him angry. After school, he is always afraid of being bullied by others, hiding behind his classmates and playing alone. In life, no one tells him what to do and what not to do. He is always afraid and has no confidence.
Third, lack of self-confidence.
By chance in 2002, a friend carried him behind his back and helped him sign up for a singing contest. This time, Adu actually broke through among more than 3,000 people, entered the finals and eventually became a signing singer. Adu thinks everything is so incredible. Later, he said that the reason for this victory was that in a room, as long as there were three judges, he didn't feel flustered and played normally. After signing the contract, the company really made every effort to build Adu. Hired the best manufacturing team for him. As a result, Adu's first album immediately became popular, with sales exceeding 654.38+0.5 million copies. Without giving Adu a break, the company made persistent efforts and released two new albums, both of which were hot all the way. Adu is on fire! Become a "king of love songs" that is popular all over Asia. After Adu became popular, his background was hyped by the media, saying that he was a "grassroots" star. He was originally the foreman of a construction site. He had no cultural background and professional level and would not go too far.
Although the fans have waited too long, they are still waiting for Adu to return in a better state. Every song selected by Adu represents a certain meaning, so that it takes months to affirm a song.
