About Mỹ Tâm
Born 1981. Mỹ Tâm is a Vietnamese singer, musician, actor and film director.
Phan Thị Mỹ Tâm (born 16 January 1981) is a Vietnamese singer and songwriter. Dubbed the Queen of V-pop, she is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant Vietnamese figures of the 21st century. Mỹ Tâm was certified as the best-selling artist in the territory by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) in 2014, and won the World Music Award for "Best-Selling Artist in the Territory". She is often deemed as one of the greatest entertainers in V-pop history.
Life and career Early life Mỹ Tâm was born in Da Nang, Vietnam, in 1981. She started ballet at the age of six, and continued for three years. She then tried guitar and organ.
1999–2002: Debut Mỹ Tâm signed with Vafaco Record in 1999 and participated in singing bands. She received awards in singing competitions. Her first demo song was "Nhé anh" (Please, Dear), written by Nguyen Ha, who helped her build image at the start of her career. She co-wrote a soft ballad, "Mãi yêu" (Love, Always), with Nguyen Quang.
After her contract with Vafaco ended in 2000, she had her hair cut short and colored to a yellow-brown "Korean style". In 2000, she worked at the Music Center in Ho Chi Minh City. She entered the Asia New Singer Competition that was held in Shanghai, China, and won a bronze medal, which she considered pivotal to becoming a singer. She graduated in 2001 as a top student. Her first audio single, "Cây Đàn Sinh Viên" (The Guitar of Students), became an iconic song of the 2000s among university students. It was used by the media to portray the lives of students as warm, romantic, and artistic.
2003–2005: Queen of V-Pop In 2003, Mỹ Tâm released her third studio album, Yesterday & Now. It contained two of her biggest hits: "Ước gì" (I Wish) and "Họa Mi Tóc Nâu" (Brown-Haired Nightingale). The other hits from the album included "Mùa hè thương yêu" (Summer of Love), "Tình Em Còn Mãi", and "Niềm tin chiến thắng" (Belief of Victory). "Mùa hè thương yêu" described a student's feeling before the summer holiday period, that she was going to miss her friends, and regretted that summer came too quickly. "Họa mi tóc nâu" was a reference to her earlier song "Tóc nâu môi trầm" (Brown hair Dark lips), while the older song was a dance track about an independent girl who feels how promising her love and her life is, "Nightingale" portrayed a young, innocent, and dedicated girl who is naive about love. In response to the gaffes she committed during her interviews for the first two albums, she changed her image for the third album, and grew her hair longer than before. "Niềm tin chiến thắng" was a ballad that became a rally song for the Vietnamese team in the SEA Games. It is about a person who strongly believes in a day of victory, despite all the difficulties of the life around him.
2006–2008: Vút Bay (Fly), Thời Gian và Tôi (Time and Myself project) In 2006, Mỹ Tâm worked with Korean Record Narimaru Pictures for her fifth album, Fly. She stated that she was unsatisfied with Vietnamese recording and studio techniques. She took more vocal training, dance lessons, and expanded her music genres. Instead of her usual pop and ballad style, she added uptempo R&B, hip-hop, and soul songs. Fly was released in December 2006.
In 2008, as part of her project Thời Gian và Tôi (The Time and Myself), She created her own company named Mỹ Mỹ Tâm Entertainment (MT Entertainment). "Time and Myself"'s project has been planned to have five albums and a live show, and "is about those who always look back to the past to live a better future".
