My grandfather was a violin educator and my mother was concertmaster of the Icelandic Orchestra at yesterday's Grammy Awards, because the two Oriental faces received special attention. One is the familiar Wang Yujia, the piano witch who won the Best Classical Instrumental Music Award; The other is a 25-year-old Chinese girl, Lin Bing (Laufey). The name Lin Bing may still be a little unfamiliar in China, but in the European and American pop ** circles, she has undoubtedly become a phenomenal new star - only 3 years after her debut, she won the Grammy's "Best Traditional Pop Singing**".
This girl with an oriental face was born in Iceland. But her grandfather is Lin Yaoji, a famous Chinese violin education master, her grandmother Hu Shixi is a professor at *** college, and her mother Lin Wei is the principal violinist of the Icelandic National Symphony Orchestra. 
On TikTok Tok, she has more than 3 million followers. On Spotify, a mainstream overseas platform, she has 25 million+ monthly listeners, and the highest number of listens to a single is more than 1600 million times. In terms of digital influence alone, she has surpassed many veteran ** people who have been famous for a long time. Her ** is sought after by a new generation of young people.

A new generation of pop queens
At the award ceremony, Lin Bing sang the famous song "From the Start" in his award-winning **. She wore a polka dot skirt and thick retro eyeshadow, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she brought the atmosphere back to the era of jazz. When interviewed by Billboard, Lin Bing was very excited, saying that he couldn't find the words to describe his current mood. Next, she will be on a European tour. 
As a popular new generation in the pop music scene, her second ** was released as soon as it was released in September last year, and it became the highest number of jazz debuts on Spotify. The highest single received more than 1The amount of 600 million streams has been covered countless times by all kinds of bloggers. Many fans in China know her, and it also started here.
The authoritative British magazine NME gave a rating of 100 out of 100, praising her for having a magical power that "blends classical legends with more modern". 
Invitations poured in, first with Grammy nominations and then with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Even People magazine interviewed her about her teenage upbringing in Iceland and her touching sisterhood. 
Who would have thought that Lin Bing 3 years ago was still a creative ** person. During the epidemic, everyone stayed at home, and she held the idea of encouraging people with **, and released many of her own covers and adaptations of classic tracks**.
Many well-known film interludes, including "Notting Hill", "Singin' in the Rain" and "My Fair Lady", have been adapted by her and sung with a new flavor.
Later, she simply created her own works.
Her compositions blend classical and jazz, and use modern lyrics to convey the thoughts and thoughts of young people today, which quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Social ** recorded the process of her becoming popular. She has gained 2.48 million followers on Instagram, and the new generation of singers Willow Smith and Billie Eilish have expressed their appreciation for her covers. Her outfit and photo style have been repeatedly studied by fans and called "Lin Bingfeng". At the concert, many of the audience dressed exactly the same as her. She became one of the trends. 
He learned to play the piano at the age of 4
**Born into a family
In the spring of 1999, Lin Bing and her twin sister Junia were born in a ** family in Reykjavík, Iceland. My grandmother and mother are both from the best family, and my grandfather Lin Yaoji has served as a professor at the first college and has trained a large number of outstanding young violin performers. He invented the "Lin Teaching Method", which laid the foundation for violin education in China, and is still used in professional courses today. 
The strong ** atmosphere at home deeply affected Lin Bing. She told People magazine that since the age of 4, she and her sister have been receiving all kinds of ** education. My mother taught them to play the piano in Mandarin, and my grandfather taught them to play the violin. She posted on ins that she learned the violin when she was a child**, wearing curly hair and holding the piano like a doll, and her good-natured grandfather demonstrated how to do it hand-in-hand.
The picture shows my grandfather teaching Lin Bing and Junia to learn the violin.
Recalling that time, she feels very happy: "We always danced and sang together. I remember my father-in-law always singing some songs from Hollywood movies to us, such as "My Fair Lady", "Spring Dawn on the Green Cause", and "Sword Guts and Qin Heart". These movies are what made him fall in love with **, and they also became the reason why I liked listening to old songs so much later. He left us with his endless passion for **. ”
Also affecting Lin Bing's taste is his father. Although he is not a ** family, he is a long-time jazz fan and has a lot of classic vinyl records in his home.
Lin Bing heard from these records about famous gazz ** artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday , and developed her first love for jazz in her young heart.
With this enlightenment, when she grew up, she naturally entered the ** college. My sister, on the other hand, pursued a degree in economics and international relations and embarked on a different path.
I was teased by my classmates in middle and high school
My sister is the closest partner.
Along the way, Lin Bing, who focuses on **, has not encountered setbacks.
Iceland is not as ethnically diverse as the United States. As she entered middle and high school, she gradually began to realize that she was different from the people around her.
The classmates all have long blond hair and blue eyes, while they have curly brown hair and ill-fitting clothes. Gradually, she was ostracized by her classmates.
She recalls this time in the song "Letter to My 13 Year Old Self": "People always put you last in line and say your name in another country for fun. "Fortunately, Lin Bing worked hard enough. At the age of 18, she was admitted to Berkeley College in Boston to study modernity, where she met more people from the same race and hometown as her. They share strict family rules with each other and find cultural commonalities that make her the right friends for her.
What has supported her all the way forward is her close family. Her dad accompanied her to competitions in Iceland, and her mother, who came from a classical music background, encouraged her to be exposed to different types of music**, telling her, "You have to learn something new and developing." And her sister Junia, who also loves **, is her most loyal creative partner and creative director, which she calls "the ultimate creative mind".
The design, concept and costumes of her performances are much done by Junia. Her sister accompanies her on every tour, battling the loneliness that comes with fame. Sometimes, Junia will carry a small microphone and pretend to interview fans at concerts to see if they can recognize her idol. This is a fun little game between sisters. The two sisters tolerate each other and grow together. Junia, who originally thought that classical music could only be a hobby rather than a job, rediscovered the fun of the ** industry when she helped her sister "work part-time", and began to consider changing jobs. In her debut**, Lin Bing wrote a song "Best Friend" to her sister, in which she sang: "I have never tolerated a person for so long, and I have never enjoyed so much laughter."
Love to read, love Citywalk
In private, he is half a blogger in style.
Many people like Lin Bing, not only because of **, but also because of her enthusiastic attitude to life. The classical ** family in people's impression is usually biased towards tradition, but Lin Bing is not like this at all.
On social **, she often posts about her happy routine. She will go to the Hutong Citywalk with her sister, will do Hey Tea evaluations, and will imitate her aunt on the Great Wall to take funny pictures.
In addition to this, she is also half a fashion blogger, with a lively and bold look.
Sometimes it's simple and generous, cool and sassy.
Sometimes elegant and charming, fairy ladylike.
Sometimes she turns into a retro ** hot girl.
Versatile temperament, full of stylization. Reading is also one of her hobbies. She has set up a special book club called "The Laufey Book Club", which regularly shares the books she is reading and initiates online and offline reading sessions.
Not long ago, Lin Bing revealed his tour plan for 2024 on social media. Although the specific time and location have not yet been announced, many fans have begun to look forward to it. I believe that this girl will exude infinite charm in the future.
