Born in a musical family, he grew up with various local operas and music. He lived in the teaching building of Jilin Opera School with his parents and in the music building for 1 1 year. He was influenced by the music hall for many years, which made him persistent and unique in music and played a vital role in his later music creation, with far-reaching influence. Besides, he is also familiar with bamboo flute/southern flute/clarinet/paixiao/bawu/cucurbit flute/company/piano/flute/Scottish bagpipe/Irish flute/shakuhachi and other musical instruments.
Mr. Zhou Zilei, a famous Tao Di performer in China, has made outstanding contributions to the development of Tao Di, China! Creation and distribution of China Tao Di's debut album "Millennium Elegant" was invited to the National Grand Theatre for the first time to hold a special concert in Tao Di! Let China Tao Di land in Vienna Golden Hall for the first time and perform Tao Di's works! Many years of playing national musical instruments and professional learning experience have precipitated his profound understanding of national music and his persistent inheritance and development of the essence of local culture. His obsession and research on classical music and pop music made it possible for him to combine national musical instruments with modern pop music perfectly.
Lei, who grew up with his father in Jiutai, Jilin, was deeply impressed by national music. In the early 1990s, after graduating from Jilin University of the Arts with the major of bamboo flute, he worked as a painting and calligraphy institute and opened a bar for a living. He was once confused, gave up and struggled for nearly ten years. Until the beginning of 2 1 century, Beijing became a distribution center for artistic talents, and hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Beijing instantly. Like many young people with artistic dreams, Lei Zi came to Beijing alone with a piano on his back. The difference is that he is more persistent and mature than his peers.
"At that time, the competition in the art field was fierce, and it was difficult to find a suitable lifestyle." Lei Zi said, but he still chose this road. Arranging music, writing songs, catching up with evening performances and singing. He has been working hard for his dream.
By chance, he met the elegant Tao Di, from which he defined his life orientation.
"In Taiwan Province Province, Tao Di is a very popular musical instrument, and almost 30% people can play it. There is almost one person in primary and secondary schools, and there have been spectacular scenes in which ten thousand people play at the same time. China has a long history of ceramic culture. When you see it, many people will think of China's ancient musical instrument-Cloud, so in Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong, it is nicknamed. However, when Tao Di is mentioned in the Mainland, many people will feel strange. " Zhou Zilei said: "At present, many China folk music are performed by foreign Tao Di musicians. I hope that one day Tao Di can also be popularized in the mainland, and thousands of Tao Di musicians can play our own music in Tao Di. "
Immediately, he founded the Tao Di Commune in the "798" Art District. While promoting Tao Di, he also made his own interactive teaching website and cultivated a large number of Tao Di fans. With more and more men and women visiting Tao Di Commune every day, the second and third "Tao Di Commune" soon settled in Nanluoguxiang and Xie Jie, Dai Yan. Now, the fourth "Tao Di Commune" in Zhou Zilei has opened in Chongqing, the fifth in Lijiang and the sixth in Chongqing. ...
Compared with business, he spends more time on developing Tao Di technology and imparting Tao Di knowledge. Lei Zi said, "Everything I'm doing now is laying the foundation. No matter how many Tao Di communes are opened in the future, they will lay the foundation for "teaching" in the future.
Zhou Zilei's career is like the music he played-a thousand years of elegance. Since a musical instrument was unearthed in Xi 'an 7000 years ago, the world has learned about the long history of clay musical instruments. Tao Di does not have such a long history, but it continues its thousand-year charm and elegant and simple oriental rhythm, telling the Millennium elegance and vicissitudes of the Chinese nation to the fullest.
