Huo Lingxin was born on June 3, 2002 in Tianjin, China. The youngest of four children, he recalls that growing up, he often felt pressured to measure up to the expectations of his family. All of his siblings excelled in school, and his sister Yazhu, older than him by nine years, was well on her way to law school before he turned 16. Meanwhile, Lingxin struggled academically, finding the material repetitive and unappealing. If he didn’t have the patience for a subject, he simply didn’t put any effort into it. The one area he excelled in was music.

Seeking a way to share his talents, Lingxin turned to NetEase Cloud Music, uploading the single 伤害 (Hurt) in August 2017, when he was just 15 years old. He hoped to gain an audience, but he would be disappointed—the song barely accumulated any streams. While it was discouraging, it wasn’t enough to stop him. Later that year, Lingxin released another single titled 无辜 (Innocent) and created accounts on several social media platforms to promote his music, slowly building a small following.

His first taste of success would come in May 2018 with the release of his first extended play 到处 (Everywhere). The EP contained five tracks, including his two previously released singles. One song in particular, 失踪 (Missing), gained attention for its production and thoughtfully written lyrics, racking up a few thousand streams within a month of its release. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t much, but it was more than Lingxin had ever dreamed of. Gradually, his audience grew.

Two more EPs followed: 機會 (Opportunity) in October 2018 and 运气 (Luck) in March 2019. While both were fairly successful, it was the former that got the most attention—not only from fans, but also from a startup record label. A representative from the A&R division at XGN Music Group heard Lingxin’s music and reached out, wondering if he was looking to sign to a label. Lingxin had a dilemma—would taking such a big step in his music career mean disappointing his parents? They knew that he was passionate about music, but they weren’t aware that he had been taking so much time to work on it, often prioritizing it over school. It didn’t seem like a good idea to tell them, but he couldn’t exactly hide a record deal. He had to tell them about the offer.

When Lingxin told his parents what he’d been doing, they were frustrated—not by the offer or his success, but by the fact that he had gone behind their backs. Neither had the heart to try and stop him from making music, though, not when he loved it so much. They eventually came to an agreement: Lingxin could continue to pursue a career in music on the condition that he finish high school and make improvements in his grades. It would be difficult, but he could do it. He had to.

Lingxin signed with XGN Music Group in May 2019. Focusing on his schoolwork as he’d promised, he only released two singles between May and November 2019, both of which performed fairly well for a new artist. It was in December that his career would take an unanticipated turn.

In December 2019, Lingxin crossed paths with aspiring songwriter Sugihara Ishi for the first time. She’d come to XGN from Japan, a short journey by the rules of time but a long way to come to pursue a music career, especially at such a young age. Sure, Lingxin and Ishi were both 17, but their experiences were different—he could make music without leaving his city, and she had left her country. But Ishi had her reasons, and what really interested Lingxin was her music. As she played for him the first song she’d ever recorded, なみ (Wave), he took note of its intricate composition. He couldn’t understand the words, but he didn’t need to. The melody was beautiful, and it resonated with him deeply, reaching past language barriers and into his heart.

That quality was missing in his music, Lingxin realized—the power to reach people who didn’t speak his language, to touch others’ hearts without words. Ishi had shown him that music itself was a language, and it was one that came to her so naturally. Filled with admiration, he could not feel more than the slightest tinge of envy. He wanted to learn from her, to work with her, and the moment that she agreed was one of the happiest moments of his life. They released a single together in February 2020, and they would go on to debut in April as the duo XINSHI.
