Kristy Chan's Golden Voice Award is now available, Fang Datong's dream inspired him to go to the Grammys for the next stop

The 17th Golden Sound Creation Award Ceremony will be held tonight in Beiliu. It not only invites previous Golden Sound finalists and winners "Back to My Mother's Home" to serve as award guests, but also gathers musicians from Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to present 4 cross-border performances and 2 blockbuster performances to jointly witness the birth of the 23 winners of "Golden Sound 17".

This year's ceremony took the Internet word "touch" and the English homophone "TRUE" as its theme, emphasizing the true emotions of music creation and the core spirit of touching people's hearts. During the awards ceremony, previous Golden Music finalists and winners were invited to announce the winners of this year's 23 awards, including "Taiwan Drum King" Huang Ruifeng and his daughter Huang Feifei, who won the 7th Golden Music Creation Award for Outstanding Contribution, as well as Tizzy Bac, Ma Nianxian, Suming Shumien, Xu Yuying, Chair Band, Li Quanzhe, The Crane, Chen Wenjing and other musicians to participate in the grand event.

Hip-hop queen Ge Zhongshan competes for the Best Hip-Hop Song Award with her song "b.ye graduation" from the album "soul.food". There is a touching story behind this song. The composition was stuck for a while until she dreamed of her late friend Fang Datong and was inspired by the dream to finally complete the song. At the end of the song, Fang Datong's voiceover from the two's past collaborations was specially included, which became a precious souvenir for her to give to her friend.

Ge Zhongshan, who attaches great importance to love and justice, also published a long article on a social platform a while ago, recalling another friend who passed away many years ago. The words between the lines revealed her reluctance and longing for her friend, which unexpectedly resonated with netizens. After watching it, some people remembered their friends who had also passed away in their lives, while others left messages to share their thoughts. The memories of Ge Zhongshan and her friends became an outlet for many people to express their emotions. From Fang Datong to other important friends in her life, she also left the longing that is difficult to express in person in music through "b.ye graduation".

In addition to being shortlisted for the Golden Sound Creation Award, Ge Zhongshan also personally submitted "b.ye Graduation" to compete for the "Best Asian Pop Music Performance" at the 69th Grammy Awards. This is a new award announced by the Recording Academy this year and is expected to be awarded for the first time in 2027, covering Chinese, Japanese, Korean and other Asian popular music works. This song, which was completed because I missed my friend, will also have the opportunity to appear on the international music award stage, allowing more people to hear the story behind the song.
