The Son began singing professionally at the end of 1987. In 1989, he graduated
with a two year degree from the National Musical Arts Institute in Saigon.
Besides being well known for his singing, The Son is also an accomplished
guitarist.
The Son likes a variety of music. He likes the pre-war period, the romantic
ballads, modern music, as well western classical music. He thinks that each type
of music has its own brand of uniqueness and each brings to the listeners a
different feeling depending on their state of mind. However, when he performs,
The Son often choose to sing romantic ballads and popular music.
Trai Tim Nguc Tu, written by Duc Huy is The Son's favorite because it has a very
nice melody and its simple lyrics goes straight to the hearts of the listeners
especially his young audience.
Since The Son lived in the San Jose area for about one year, he knows the area very
well. He thinks San Jose really lives up to its name of blossom valley. He
considers Silicon valley the promised land for the Vietnamese who makes this
area their residence. Whenever he returns to the area to perform, The Son feels
the fans here are very receptive. They are very appreciative of the arts.
According to The Son, many other performers have the same sentiment when asked
about performing in San Jose. The Son would like to take this opportunity, on
behalf of his fellow entertainers, to thank the fans for their continual support
and encouragement.
When asked about his upcoming appearance at the Summer 96 Concert, The Son
expressed his pride in being part of this extravaganza. He thinks that this is a
bold and courageous step for the Vietnamese people living in the US.. He feels
this speak to the unity of the Vietnamese community and the stride it has taken
toward the mainstream. The Son feels that the presence of the Vietnamese people
at the Summer 96 Concert not only will support the artistic movement of the
community, but it also illustrates to the world community the strength and unity
of the Vietnamese community abroad.
Currently, The Son is under an exclusive contract with Thuy Nga Productions.

and Nhung Chieu Khong Co Em. He also has a CD with Huong Lan, Mai Lo Minh Xa Nhau.
