艺人介绍
艺人资料
José González出生于1978年7月31日，是瑞典杰出的吟游诗人，是一位现代流行乐坛中少见的音乐人 ─ 无论是音乐潮流的变迁还是独一无二的风格，他都是一位令人鼓舞的引领者，同时也是各大音乐排行榜的常客。他极富表现力的吉他弹奏和令人自省的歌词为他带来了享誉世界的名声，包括各大奖项的青睐，其中包括2004年瑞典格莱美最佳新人奖、2006年欧洲突破国界奖、瑞典和大不列颠白金销量奖、爱尔兰双白金销量奖、澳大利亚和新西兰销量金奖。
José Gonzále的母亲是瑞典人，父亲是阿根廷人。早在青少年时期，他就开始弹奏古典吉他，随后在一个朋克乐队和硬核乐队担任吉他手。使他成名的音乐却是低调，主要由古典吉他和他自身温柔的声音组成，经常是在家中录制。他两张专辑里的大多数歌曲，包括2007年发行的第二张专辑《天性使然》（In Our Nature）都是自己创作，他也曾翻唱过不少经典老歌，比如Bruce Springsteen的《出生于美国》（Born in the USA）和Joy Division的《爱将我们分开》（Love Will Tear Us Apart）。
这位吟游诗人2009年终于将来到中国进行他的首次演出，为上海、北京和香港的观众奉献四场精彩的演出。这次成都民谣女歌手吴卓玲将为José京沪演出担任暖场嘉宾，相信她的梦幻歌声将给观众带来另一番美妙的感受。而主办方则是来自一直致力于推动中国独立音乐发展的Split Works。2016年11月24日，作为Split Works与上海交响乐团音乐厅合作的“当代变奏”系列第三季的首位艺人，José González再度来到中国。

Life and career
José Gabriel González (born 31 July 1978) is a Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter and guitarist from Gothenburg, Sweden. González is also a member of the Swedish band Junip, along with Tobias Winterkorn.
In 1976 the González family, of academic psychologist father, mother, and older sister, then an infant, fled Argentina, after an ultra-conservative military junta seized power in March 1976, the beginning of the "Dirty War". José was born two years later, 1978, in a suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden. He commented, "It's a very small town. It has about a half-million people living there. It's a pretty good music city by the ocean. It rains a lot there, but it's beautiful in the summertime." González grew up listening to Latin folk and pop music and has named Cuban singer-songwriter Silvio Rodríguez as a favourite artist. He said the first concert he went to was "The Wailers. I got their autographs and everything. I was about 12 or so. At the time, my favourite music was Bob Marley and Michael Jackson."
The first band he played in was Back Against the Wall, a Gothenburg hardcore punk band influenced by Black Flag, The Misfits and the Dead Kennedys. He later played bass guitar in another hardcore band, Renascence, between 1993–1998. Between 1997 and 1998 José played guitar with rock band Only if You Call Me Jonathan.
In June 2003 González released his debut solo release, a two-track 7" single. The single was discovered by Joakim Gävert, co-founder of the then fledgling label Imperial Records who then signed González as their first official artist. In October he released his debut album, ‘Veneer’, in Europe. The album was subsequently released in the UK on 25 April 2005, and in the United States on 6 September 2005. The album was made while González was studying for a PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Gothenburg, which he has not completed due to a lack of time since his musical career has taken off.
González' trademark sound is solo classical guitar with soft vocal melody. His work, although mostly original, also includes acoustic covers of such hits as "Heartbeats" by his fellow Swedes The Knife, "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division, "Born in the U.S.A." and "The Ghost of Tom Joad" by Bruce Springsteen, "Hand on Your Heart" by Kylie Minogue, "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, "Teardrop" by Massive Attack and "Last Snowstorm of the Year" by Low.
His second album, ‘In Our Nature’, was released internationally on 22 September 2007. The album's lyrical content was in part influenced by his reading of books like ‘The God Delusion’ by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and ‘Practical Ethics’ by ethicist Peter Singer. González is an atheist,and a vegetarian.
In 2007, González won a European Border Breakers Award Award. Every year the European Border Breakers Awards (EBBA) recognize the success of ten emerging artists or groups who reached audiences outside their own countries with their first internationally released album in the past year.
In December 2014, González performed at the sustainable lifestyle festival, Wonderfruit in Thailand.
His last album ‘Vestiges & Claws’ was released in February 2015. It was critically acclaimed and received the IMPALA Album of the Year Award.
He will start his “José González & The Göteborg String Theory” concert on March 4,2017.

- @小鱼：他做的 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Soundtrack 好好听 特别是Step Out
- @臣两袖清风：我第一次听到他的歌是荒野大镖客主角进墨西哥的时候。当时拿着手柄，听的汗毛都竖起来了。那画面太美。他的那首歌完美的契合了当时的意境。
