Folk-rocker Li Zhi's extraordinary voice and ability to write elegant, poetic songs describing everyday life have made him one of China's most beloved—and enigmatic—artists. Notoriously camera shy, Zhi has avoided the limelight throughout his decade-long career, instead choosing to write and record his soulful folk and blues-infused rock songs in peace, beyond the media's attention, developing his dedicated fanbase online. But when this truly gifted performer does emerge from isolation to perform, he creates genuine fervour, selling out venues across Asia.
