Browse piano sheets by Taeyang on Zen Virtual Piano. Wikipedia says that Dong Young-bae, born and raised in Uijeongbu, South Korea, first came to music through playing the piano, enjoying classical music by Beethoven and Schubert. Through his older brother he met pop music at the age of six, with the music of Michael Jackson, and his interest developed mainly through soul and R&B. A child who began with the piano and Beethoven and then met pop through Michael Jackson’s music can be read as a taste that crossed from classical to pop, before a later interest in soul and R&B. Dazed notes that he trained from the age of twelve with YG and burst onto the scene in 2006 as part of the boy band BIGBANG. AllMusic calls him a founding member of the K-pop act BIGBANG who brought a vocal depth to the group. Billboard reports that he sees little difference between Taeyang, a stage name meaning “sun” in Korean, and Dong Youngbae, his given name: “Taeyang has a microphone and makeup, and Youngbae doesn’t,” he said. A joke that the difference between two names is a microphone and makeup can be read as a light way of describing the line between stage and private life. Wedding Dress is a song recorded by Taeyang and released as the second single of his first studio album Solar on 13 November 2009 through YG Entertainment; it was written by Teddy Park and composed by Park and Taeyang. Of his second album, Rise (2014), Taeyang stated that R&B and hip-hop are a given but that it also contains electronic, ballad and rock. He told Dazed that he was hugely inspired by Miguel, Frank Ocean and The Weeknd, and that he is a massive fan of Sure Thing by Miguel. Named artists on one side and a list of genres on the other: here a singer explains his music by pointing outward to other sounds. Taeyang began his twenty-one months of mandatory military service on 12 March 2018 and was discharged on 10 November 2019. AllMusic says that he signed with Black Label in 2022 and teamed with Jimin of BTS for the duet Vibe, which shot to number one on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. He told Rolling Stone that Teddy at THEBLACKLABEL had mentioned in passing that people would really enjoy it if he got together with Jimin to collaborate on a great song, and that the idea stuck with him. A passing remark about Jimin that stuck with him, followed by a duet with Jimin, gives the impression of an idea he kept in view.
