Better known by his stage name Kun, Cai Xukun is, without a doubt, one of the most popular stars in China.
On July 26, the 21-year-old dropped his new single Young. Within just 20 seconds, it reached 1 million views and in only 3 days topped the music charts of Tencent’s QQ music.
Cai wrote the song by himself to share his understanding of modern-day youth. The singer has mixed R&B with electronic music to make his new beat cheerful. One reviewer wrote on QQ Music: “When you listen to the song, you just seem to go back to youth again.”
August 2 is Cai’s birthday, and the song was a gift to himself. The singer hopes that he can always have the courage to follow his love of music, ignoring what anyone says. “My works are like my children and I have put my best effort into them. I want every piece of my work to have my own spirit in it. I feel more enjoyment when I am performing my own work.” He told the Global Times.
To find new inspiration, Kun attends different kinds of musical performances－from festivals to opera houses. “I just like to do everything, all for my music, all for my art,” he told i-D.
With talent and dedication(专注) to music, Cai is expected by many to make his mark in the competitive Chinese music industry.
