Reality show lets the talented shine in music industry

For now, Mao Buyi wants to slow down and concentrate on writing songs for his next album.

"I am still trying to figure out what kind of music I like most, and I want to do something that I have not done before.

"The first album is just a review of my life since I started writing songs. I am curious to see what comes next," he says.

According to Ma Hao, vice-president of Wajijiwa Entertainment, which co-launched The Coming One, besides Mao Buyi's debut album, the company also released two albums for young singer-songwriters Liao Juntao and Zhong Yixuan, both performers on the reality show.

Liao and Zhong, both in their early 20s, like Mao Buyi, wrote the songs for their debut albums.

Zhong's album, entitled The Summer of 17 Years Old, is dedicated to young students who are about to graduate from high school. The One by Liao comprises the singer-songwriter's live shows.

Speaking about the albums, Ma says: "These young people are talented. It's exciting to see that their songs are enjoyed and shared by young Chinese music consumers.

"Their success is encouraging for other young singer-songwriters."
