Andiez Nam Truong: From shoe shine boy Bui Vien 1 step to a singer with million views

With a difficult and difficult childhood, no one thought that the shoe shine boy Bui Vien that year would now become the leading male singer and musician in Vietnamese showbiz.

Truong Nguyen Hoai Nam born on February 10, 1995, also known by his stage name Andiez, is a Vietnamese male singer and songwriter. He is famous for the song "1 minute" and is the runner-up of Sing My Song 2018. He has been ordered by famous singers like Chi Pu, Amee or even Son Tung. His songs are always loved and interested by the audience.

Andiez was born and raised in Hanoi. He was born in a family that was not very well off and lacked love since childhood. Because his parents divorced when he was only 3 years old. Childhood, Andiez was very difficult, difficult when he had to work many jobs to help his mother and grandmother. He wants to be economically independent without relying on anyone.

From the age of 3, his parents divorced, Andiez Nam Truong lived with his grandmother and mother. The family is not too poor, but since childhood, Andiez did not want to rely on anyone and became independent in many ways such as selling lottery tickets, going to Bui Vien to shine shoes, serving cafes, restaurants or doing heavy work. harder than loading and unloading at the airport. Not afraid to recall the past, the "sober" guy told about the time he went to shine shoes in the West Quarter and was "spoiled" but could only laugh.

Andiez said: "What I have right now is really very fortunate. Also thanks to interacting with many types of people and experiencing many joys and sorrows in life, my songs have something special. Now when I go to Bui Vien, I see my brothers and make fun of me "Too good!". I don't have to ignore them, I still invite them for coffee and chat like when I was polishing shoes and making a living together.

Andiez's chance to come to music is also quite special, when he got... chickenpox at the end of 9th grade. Having to stay home for nearly a month, the guy went to an online karaoke site to ease his boredom. Starting from writing lyrics based on the available melody of a critically acclaimed soundtrack song, Andiez continued to try his hand at composing both lyrics and melodies. This can be seen as the beginning of the million-view musician later.

Andiez's biggest turning point was when the song One Minute was born. The song is the story of a boy who can't say love to a girl, but few people know that the true meaning of the song is the farewell that Andiez wants to send to those who love him on music forums. when deciding to stop all musical activities to focus on an administrative job to have a stable life, get married and have children.

However, in just one night, the song gained a huge number of views, currently 80 million views on YouTube. Many singers texted Andiez to write songs for them. It can be said that only "one minute" has brought the 9X guy many changes, both financially and in big life decisions. "In the past, I didn't have enough 50,000 VND in my pocket to go out, I had to think about refueling, but thanks to One Minute, everything was easier to breathe," Andiez shared.

After the song One Minute, Sing my song made Andiez give up applying to produce, guide and record for students at the school of singer-songwriter Thanh Bui as he originally intended. "I decided to get into music after many nights of thinking," Andiez said. When asked why, the musician born in 1995 replied: "I wonder, is it my game or my life. After a few nights of thinking, I see if I pursue music and I fall in love. If I cherish it as my life, I will find a way to make it better."

It is quite funny that before Sing my song aired, his family only saw him go from early to late at night without knowing where to go. His grandmother is also afraid of her grandchild... being depraved, playing. Therefore, when Andiez and the crew returned to record a short clip about the life of grandparents and grandchildren, the family broke down.

Sing my song stage can be considered as the first stage where Andiez "stepped into the light". He said: "The first time I stepped on stage, my hand was shaking so much that I couldn't hold the microphone, even stammered, forgot the words. The second time the shaking stopped, but my heart was pounding, it felt very strange. By the final night, it was still fierce. more than the first two times combined, but when the performance is over, everything is very light."

Although many viewers feel regretful when Andiez only won the runner-up award, this guy thinks that it is not too important because he and Lon Xon Band (winner of Sing my song) are quite close. Asked Andiez about the changes after the show, he laughed and said: "Probably the biggest change is that now when I go to a convenience store, I can confidently buy the most expensive bottle of water to drink and buy some good clothes to wear. I don't get criticized on stage. My friends also think I've changed, but then I think it's normal."

The 9X guy affirmed: "Sing my song is a stepping stone to help me become more confident when introducing my compositions to everyone else everything is normal. I see nothing for me to change. I I'm aware that what comes fast, it also loses quickly, so I'm very careful. As a reward, I take everyone out to eat and shop for my family as a reward for myself."

Almost all famous artists entering Vietnamese showbiz have their own forces. But with his talent and strength, dynamic young man Andiez has affirmed his position. Andiez won the "Green Wave" award for the "Top 10 Favorite Songs" category. Although there was a time when his followers were prejudiced. Given that this guy is incompetent, has no strengths. But Andiez has confirmed the talent, ambition and desire of his life.

Coming from the Underground, the "underground" substance was deeply ingrained in Andiez. Although he is more known, he still wants to focus on composing rather than going on stage, preferring to be a musician than a singer. "Personally, I don't want to sing as my main job in life. If I have an invitation, I'm willing to join in the fun. As for singing with frequency like a professional singer, I find it impossible and not a job. I want to write really well, for myself and my fellow artists, I want to see their success rather than going to showbiz and running shows," Andiez said.

After collaborating with Chi Pu on two songs I Still Sing and Rose, Andiez revealed that he will also have collaboration projects with Jun Pham, Will, Yen Trang... He affirmed: " I've always been proud of my underground roots and still see myself as an underground, whether I step into the light or not." At the moment, what Andiez is trying to do is to fulfill the promise she made to her grandmother to love herself, cherish and strive to develop better.
