G.E.M. Deng Ziqi’s ‘I AM GLORIA’ World Tour Concert marks a new beginning, introducing a refreshed and revitalized G.E.M. Deng Ziqi. She holds the distinction of being the first post-90s female singer to perform at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the youngest nominee for the Golden Melody Awards’ Best Female Mandarin Singer, and the first-ever BILLBOARD RADIO CHINA Artist of the Year. After a six-year hiatus, the creative queen of Chinese music officially launches her brand new world tour with the theme ‘I AM GLORIA’. As the familiar melody resonates in your ears, can you grasp the heartfelt message she conveys?
In 2020, with her album ‘Animals,’ G.E.M. Deng Ziqi received the 31st Taiwan Golden Melody Awards’ Jury Award and emerged as the most popular Mandarin female singer on the streaming platform Spotify. She also won the Mnet Asian Music Awards for ‘Best Asian Artist’. In 2021, her self-composed song ‘Beyond the Light Years’ was recognized by Guinness World Records as ‘the most viewed Chinese music video on YouTube’. In 2022, after three years of dedication, G.E.M. Deng Ziqi released her eighth fully original album ‘Revelation,’ pioneering a 14-episode music drama series. This groundbreaking approach presented each song in the album in the form of a drama series, ushering in a new era in the pop music scene.
In 2023, following days and nights of anticipation, G.E.M. Deng Ziqi once again launches a brand new world tour under the name Gloria, singing of dawn in the darkness and glory in the chaos. In recent years, the world has witnessed earth-shaking changes, making us question if the once familiar world has changed beyond recognition. The rampant pandemic has tested humanity as a whole, followed by consecutive wars in other countries, and various natural disasters and calamities around the world.In a world plagued by loss of life, economic depression, viral invasion, and material loss, it feels as if everyone is walking through a desert, yearning for the dawn to chase away the darkness that clouds their minds. As a singer and songwriter, G.E.M. Deng Ziqi is acutely aware of her role in bringing vitality to her audience through her music, offering hope to those with broken hearts. She says, “Gloria is the name my father gave me. I have always thought it was beautiful and full of glory since I was a child.”
Now grown up, G.E.M. is even more convinced that her mission is to be the salt and light in this world. Her music is not just a symphony of melodies; it is also a healing balm for the soul. Six years ago, G.E.M. held a concert themed around the Queen of Hearts from a deck of cards, as she firmly believes that everyone can conquer and govern their hearts, becoming the queen of their own hearts. Time flows vast and endless, with the seasons changing in cycles.
Six years later, the ‘I AM GLORIA’ World Tour officially sets sail. G.E.M. has invested heavily to create a concert experience that is as moving as a cinematic story, using music to stir the hearts of people, embracing every weary soul, and reigniting hope and courage within. ‘I AM GLORIA’ is the dawn in the darkness, the glory amidst chaos. This time, follow the guidance of love with G.E.M. and rediscover faith, hope, and love in the midst of chaos. The concert will be open from October 19th to 20th, Saturday, from 19:00 to 21:00.
