ØZI为新乐园Forbidden Paradise首席艺人,在2017年发表个人独立制作作品《TITLE 头衔》及《ME INSTEAD 夺爱》受到注目,同年发表作品《PARADISE ISLAND 天堂岛》成为首支破百万音乐作品并且展现了MV执导的能力,在华语乐坛中被称呼为「核弹级新人」,同时与米奇林、剃刀蒋成立新乐园Forbidden Paradise,致力推广台湾R&B音乐文化。

2018年发行首张个人专辑《ØZI: The Album》在市场上创下佳绩,并入围了2019年第三十届金曲奖最佳新人奖、最佳国语男歌手奖、最佳单曲制作人奖、最佳编曲人奖、最佳国语专辑奖、年度专辑奖等六项大奖,最终获得最佳新人奖。

在2020年与Transparent Arts合作,进行了海外发行计划,与LA当地知名音乐制作人Ian Jeffery Thomas、Andrew Beckner共同制作,首先发行《LAVA!》单曲,来年2021年正式发表海外专辑《PEDESTAL基石》,首波主打为《SLIDE》,第二波主打《LUFU》更与南韩实力派R&B歌手GSoul、美国节奏蓝调歌手Arin Ray 合唱,以拓展海外市场为目标进行。

With his hair dyed a fiery red, like his fiery passion for his artistry, ØZI has come a long way from being the 16 year old Taiwanese-American boy making garage band beats in his 3x3 bedroom and shooting music videos on his iPhone 7. After releasing his 2018 hit song “B.O.”, which accumulated over 14 million streams on Spotify, he has continued to develop and explore new sounds. His first album, ØZI: The Album, was nominated for six GMA awards (Mandarin Music’s equivalent to the Grammys) and won him the title of ‘Best New Artist’ that year.

At the tender age of 20, he co-founded his own record label “Forbidden Paradise”. Now at 24, this charismatic individual has gone from being known as an associated act to becoming a well-established independent artist, music video director, and highly sought-after music producer. ØZI produced for many A-list Asian artists like Jolin Tsai and Rainie Yang. He has redefined the meaning of chart success in Taiwan with his Sophomore album, Pedestal, written fully in English. ØZI is always striving to discover a new self.

Born in LA, now based in Taiwan, ØZI gained mainstream attention after securing the Best New Artist of Golden Melody Awards, the Grammy equivalent in the world of Mandopop. Continued making waves of discussion, his sophomore album PEDESTAL went out this February, which got nominated for Best Album, Best singer-songwriter, and best R&B album of the year.

当初为何会选择当 R&B 歌手?

「我是在高中的时候对幕后创作开始感兴趣,并开始创作一些歌曲。后来有些朋友觉得我可以上台试试看,便在学校表演了数次而令我对表演开始感兴趣。后来我在 Berklee College of Music 上学的时候,有一个 Vocal 老师想要推荐我去韩国当男团歌手(笑)。在各种机缘之下,不知不觉就走到这裡当了 R&B 歌手。(为甚麽不去当男团?)可能它跟自己想要玩音乐的理想不太一样,因为我是想要以创作为主的,而做男团比较不是我个人 Style,所以后来就算了吧。」

你是如何定义个人的曲风?

「我一直以来不停的改变,自己亦会审视自己的音乐风格,而目前维持最久的风格就是 PBR&B。就是带着一点 Soul,一点 R&B 味道跟一点嘻哈感觉的一种 R&B。」

假如想让听众认识自己,会推荐哪一首歌?

「想要认识我的音乐可以从《天堂岛》开始,《天堂岛》有我最想要表达的 R&B 部分,同时也有些饶舌、说唱,它整体的曲风也是最接近我想要表达的音乐风格。想要深入听比较纯的 PBR&B,我推荐听《夺爱》;如果想要听嘻哈或是 Trap 的话,可以听《TITLE 头衔》这首歌。」
