Grassroots singer

Dao Lang is staging a comeback tour after shunning the spotlight following his instant celebrity with his song The First Snow in 2002. The tour, which kicks off at Beijing's Wukesong Arena, takes its namesake from the song Thank You he wrote to show appreciation for fans who have listened to his music over the past decade. The Sichuan native, whose real name is Luo Lin, is acclaimed for his coarse vocals and incorporation of ethnic harmonies from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. He also blends Uygur music with the squealing vocals of Sichuan Opera.
