Rachael Xu Heard by Millions On Recording Track of Pop Star Zhang Jie - Chinaby Harley Jones |
 |
| Over the past month, Chinese Pop Star Zhang Jie has been releasing his latest album ‘You Deserve Better’ track by track. Eleven year old accordionist Rachael Xu from Chengdu, China was chosen by the Singaporean song writer Eric Ng, after he saw her winning performance at the Zhongsin International Music Competition, to play the accordion in one of his compositions. He invited her to perform in the fourth released single ‘Take a Look’. Due to Covid 19 travel restrictions the audio was recorded in Chengdu with Eric directing the process live through online meetings. The track was an immediate success with an amazing 3 million plus listens in just under two hours. Rachael Xu, student of Grayson Masefield, is a multiple international winner for her age group and had planned a 2021 international concert tour (China, Singapore, Korea & Japan) that was going to donate all proceeds to the International Music Council (IMC), NGO of UNESCO. Unfortunately the tour was postponed because of Covid 19 restrictions. Max Fage-Pederson, director of Danish Radio in Copenhagen, has set up an interview with Rachael Xu about her support for the IMC. He will also be playing some of Rachael's recordings for the Danish audiences. Rachael is the first of the soon to be announced ‘Titano Youth Artists’, a project by Titano Accordions to help developing young accordionists and aiding them to engage with younger audiences to promote the accordion, music and youth education. Rachael Xu performed on her newly designed Titano Infinite Horizon, a completely customisable accordion, for this record breaking new album by pop star Zhang Jie. |
