Xu Ziyao, a steady vocalist with clean, bright tone, recently announced her departure from Dalong's band, choosing to focus on professional vocal polishing and red-themed art performances.
The news of Xu Ziyao’s sudden official announcement that she was leaving the Daolang Band came as a surprise to many. Just a little over two months ago, she performed “Ten Farewells to the Red Army” on stage at the August 1st Gala, dressed in a crisp military uniform, and moved many audience members to tears. Now, news of her departure has surfaced.
Audiences first took notice of Xu Ziyao during Dola’s online concert in 2024. At the time, she stood on the side stage singing soft harmonies; most of the audience didn’t recognize her, but they were struck by her clear, bright voice, which sounded soothing and pleasant.Dolao subsequently embarked on a nationwide tour consisting of dozens of shows, and Xu Ziyao participated in every single one. Her performance remained consistently steady and polished throughout, and gradually, at every show, audience members would specifically look for her in the side-stage area.At the recent August 1st Gala, Xu Ziyao took the stage in a military uniform, and the moment she began to sing, many of the older audience members were moved to tears. In the special program broadcast by CCTV on August 6, the moment she sang the very first line, the entire venue fell silent, leaving only the gentle flow of the instrumental accompaniment.
In recent years, many young artists have been appearing on various variety shows to gain exposure or rushing to release singles to capture online attention,yet Xu Ziyao has consistently refrained from participating in such traffic-driven activities. He spends most of his time in rehearsal studios honing his fundamentals in ethnic vocal techniques, has never sought attention through irrelevant incidents, and has always remained focused on creation and performance practices related to revolutionary-themed arts.Since entering the industry, Xu Ziyao has never considered leveraging the fame of his collaborators to gain attention. Instead, he has consistently dedicated himself to honing his professional skills and pursuing a steady career path—a commitment that has remained unchanged from the very beginning of his career to the present.
Therefore, Xu Ziyao’s decision to leave the Daolang Band this time around does not come as a surprise. Moving forward, she will focus on honing her vocal skills on professional artistic stages and establish herself in her career through her own singing talent.
