  • 从哈尔滨到加拿大,从念书到写歌再到签约Nettwerk公司。近几年,曲婉婷把大量的弹唱视频上传到视频网站,歌迷们竞相在微博和SNS类网站上转载。曲婉婷的歌声已经漂洋过海,国内外音乐迷都很喜欢听她唱歌,她在国内的几次现场演出的场面出乎意料的火爆,每场都人满为患。
     

    下面的视频是曲婉婷的最新专辑《Everything in the world》里的一首单曲Drenched(沉醉)的MV,这首歌也是今年3月份新电影《春娇与志明》的宣传曲。MV里墨汁浸湿书页,开出晕染的花儿,正符合名字Drenched:“我努力想摆脱张志明,可结果发现,我变成了另一个张志明。”《Drenched》既揉进了蓝调元素,又保持了一个中国女生的淳朴、细腻本色。让我们跟随音乐的节奏,一起进入曲婉婷的世界吧。

     

              从“我的歌声里”到 Everything In The World

     In November, 2009,Nettwerk Music Group is excited to announce the signing of rising Chinese star Wanting Qu to its management, label and publishing rosters. Wanting released her debut full-length studio album Everything In The World on April 24, 2012.
     
    200911月,Nettwerk 音乐公司很兴奋地向公司的管理层公布了签约上升的新星曲婉婷以及新的发行唱片的商标和出版名单。2012424号曲婉婷发行了她的首张完整版创作专辑——Everything In The World》。
     
    Wanting (whose last name Qu means "music, song, melody") started to sing before she could even talk. Her mother recalls, "You would know when she was awake because she’d be singing the theme song from this Chinese TV series called ‘Undercover Cop' loudly in bed to the ceiling.”
     
    曲婉婷(英文名Wanting Qu,她的姓氏代表着音乐、歌曲、旋律)在她还不会讲话的时候就开始唱歌。她妈妈回忆说:每次你听到她冲着天花板高唱电视剧《便衣警察》的主题曲的时候,你就知道她醒了。
     
    Wanting left her family and China when she was 16 and entered Canada as an international business student. It wasn't long before she realized her true passion and dream was to become an influential recording artist. She went on to earn her degree in business, but also tried her hand at songwriting in both Chinese and English and began performing in the Toronto area. She relocated to Vancouver, continuing to write and perform at events. It was there that she caught the attention of Nettwerk Music Group, home of such stars as Sarah McLachlan and Dido.
     
    曲婉婷16岁的时候离开家乡中国,以国际商务的学生的身份进入加拿大。不久后她认识到自己对音乐真正的热情和梦想就是成为一个有影响力的音乐家。她坚持完成了自己的学业,获得了商务专业的学位,并且试着用中文和英文作曲,在多伦多地区表演。后来曲婉婷搬到温哥华,继续坚持作曲并且在活动中表演。就在温哥华曲婉婷的表演引起了Nettwerk音乐公司的注意,该公司拥有像Sarah McLachlan(莎拉·麦克拉克兰,加拿大女歌手)和Dido(蒂朵,英国女歌手)这样的明星。
     
    After moving from Toronto to Vancouver in 2005, Wanting started performing original material, written in both Chinese and English, at local venues. It was a combination of raw talent and persistence that caught the attention of Nettwerk CEO Terry McBride, who signed her to a management deal. Says McBride, "Wanting first caught my attention when sent me an email containing demos, and I was immediately captivated by the honesty of the lyrics and the authentic song writing. She has the wonderful ability to seamlessly blend the cultures of East with the melodics of the West, making her a true Asia Pacific artist.
     
    2005年搬到温哥华以后,曲婉婷开始同时用中文和英文创作自己的音乐,并在当地的一些小场地进行表演。Wanting与生俱来的才华和坚持不懈的努力赢得了NettwerkCEO Terry Mcbride的赏识,随即Terry一纸合约签下了她。Terry说:我对Wanting最初有印象是收到她发给我的一封邮件,随附了她的歌曲小样,我马上就被她歌词里透出的直率和她的原创功力征服了。她有超凡的能力可以把东方的文化和西方的曲风完美地融合在一起,这使得她必然成为横跨亚洲太平洋的艺术家。
     
    Album: Everything In The World
    Vancouver-based singer-songwriter, Wanting, releases her first full-length studio album, Everything In The World, on Nettwerk Records. Wanting, a self-taught musician with a voice similar to that of Chantal Kreviazuk, Anna Nalick, and Christina Perri, has been recognized in the early stages of her career. Having already sound-tracked the upcoming Chinese film Love in the Buff, appeared on a Mercedes Benz sampler, and amassed combined views of millions on Chinese YouTube, she is an artist to be on the lookout for. Wanting's piano-swept music has won a following because her compositions pop musings that plumb emotion & resonate universally. The lilting first single "Life Is Like a Song" is a reflection on life s ebbs and flows and the cascading song "Drenched," is about surrendering oneself to love. Meanwhile, "You Exist in My Song," sung in Mandarin, is about old friends alive in one s thoughts.
     
    专辑《Everything in the world
    居住在温哥华的音乐唱作人曲婉婷发行了她的首张由Nettwerk录制的完整版创作专辑——Everything In The World》。曲婉婷,一个自学成才的音乐家,有着与Chantal Kreviazuk(香岱儿,加拿大歌手)、Anna Nalick(美国歌手)和Christina PerriChristina Perri,美国歌手)类似的嗓音,在她职业的早期已经被大家认可。Wanting的音乐已经被收入即将上映的中国影片《春娇与志明》作为主题曲、被奔驰公司收入随车CD,而且在中国的各大视频网站聚集了数百万点击量的关注,她已经是一个万众瞩目的音乐家。Wanting那伴着悠扬的钢琴旋律、沁人心脾、动人心弦、让人们找到灵魂共鸣的音乐作品都已经赢得了无数的拥趸。她的轻快的第一首单曲《Life is like a song(生活像首歌)》是跌宕起伏的生活的写照,如瀑的歌曲《Drenched(沉醉)》讲诉沉浸于爱情的一个人,用国语演唱的《You exist in my song(我的歌声里)》是讲的存在于脑海中的老朋友。

     

    最后引用一句Everything in the world的歌词来鼓励大家:

     Just open your eyes;,you got everything in the world !

     打开你的眼睛,你便拥有世上的一切!
