Bui Huyen Trang: Who is the 'favorite student' of Meritorious Artist Lan Anh who just released her first MV?

Choosing the days before Tet At Ty 2025, Bui Huyen Trang (student of Meritorious Artist Lan Anh) - a young female singer who just won First Prize in the Hanoi Voice Contest, released to the audience her first MV in her singing career, with the affectionate name "Hanoi Girl"

The MV "Girl of Hanoi" is set in the 70s of the last century, when the country was still immersed in war, Hanoi was once engulfed in the smoke of B52 air strikes, but the people of the capital as well as millions of Vietnamese people were still strong, resilient in fighting back the invaders and gaining independence. The song "Girl of Hanoi" (Poetry by Ngoc Khue - Music by Doan Nguyen Hieu) praises the beauty of Hanoi through the people and landscapes of the sacred land, which created the heroic spirit of Hanoi during the war years.

Bui Huyen Trang's voice is like a brush painting a picture of Hanoi that is both heroic and strong, clear and full of love. Bui Huyen Trang's clear, high-pitched but soft and emotional voice has contributed significantly to the appeal of the MV "Hanoi Girl".

Bui Huyen Trang, born in 2003, was a "phenomenon" of Sao Mai 2022 when she was just 19 years old. Her clear, lyrical soprano voice with a simple and soaring singing style surprised both the judges and the audience in the Northern regional final. Although she was not lucky enough to make it to the national finals, Huyen Trang's singing really left a strong impression on the listeners.

When deciding to leave her hometown to study at the National Academy of Music, Bui Huyen Trang was lucky to meet her teacher - Meritorious Artist Lan Anh, and since then, Ms. Lan Anh has become Bui Huyen Trang's second "mother".

It is thought that Gen Z often 'turns on' their parents, but it is different for young singer Bui Huyen Trang. The champion of The Voice of Hanoi said that all her success up to now is thanks to 'being very obedient to her mother'.

Bui Huyen Trang chose a very young crew to make her MV (director Kai Nguyen Hai and cameraman Le Quang) and not someone who was already famous. The reason, the singer confessed, was because she didn't have much money.

Huyen Trang's journey of passion for music began in her childhood, when her mother discovered her special talent. At the age of 3, Huyen Trang set foot on the stage singing and dancing in her village, opening a colorful journey. From then on, she continuously participated in the provincial children's cultural palace and performing activities in and outside the province, creating her first steps in art.

At the age of 11, Huyen Trang was taken by her mother to a small center in her hometown, where she found inspiration and guidance from the dedicated teacher Hoang Anh Thai - a lecturer at Thai Binh College of Culture and Arts. With her passion and talent, Huyen Trang was admitted to the Vietnam National Academy of Music at the age of 16, studying with master's lecturer Lan Anh.

Trang is currently a senior student at the Vietnam National Academy of Music. Coming to Hanoi, Huyen Trang quickly attracted attention through competitions and personal abilities. Her journey is not only about self-affirmation but also about reaching her dream of singing traditional music.

During the MV launch, Bui Huyen Trang continuously wiped away tears at the words of encouragement and praise from her teachers, especially singer Lan Anh - who has guided Huyen Trang for the past 7 years.

And she could not hide her emotions when thanking her mother, who worked hard to earn enough money for Trang to study singing from her hometown Thai Binh to the Vietnam National Academy of Music.

Huyen Trang said that all the success she has had in studying and competing up to today is because she listened to her mother's teachings.

As a young girl from the countryside who came to Hanoi to study, Bui Huyen Trang had to face many temptations of money. But at those times, her mother's teachings kept her.

Mother told her daughter to be self-reliant, to rise up with her own strength, only with strength can we stand up no matter where we are placed. And Bui Huyen Trang did exactly as her mother told her, she studied hard without being negligent at all, and worked hard without stopping.

Musician Ngoc Khue - author of the song Spring in the Rice Village, and lyricist for the song Hanoi Girl that Bui Huyen Trang chose to make her MV this time - also highly appreciated Bui Huyen Trang's singing voice.

He said that Bui Huyen Trang's beautiful, high, clear, graceful voice successfully expressed the spirit of the song he helped write about the extraordinary girls of Hanoi, Vietnamese girls during the years when Hanoi was immersed in the war in the early 1970s.

Regarding the reason for choosing Hanoi Girl as her first MV, Bui Huyen Trang said that the first product she wanted to produce had to be the chamber music genre she pursued, not the popular music genre now.

Huyen Trang has been working professionally in the singing profession for nearly 2 years, but difficulties such as funding and unevenness in product promotion have been the challenges she has had to face. However, the biggest motivation to overcome those difficulties is the love for art and the desire to stand on stage, where Huyen Trang finds joy and great meaning in continuing her mother's dream of becoming a professional singer.

Like a flower blooming brilliantly from the art world, Huyen Trang is gradually proving to the audience her uniqueness and talent. The passionate journey of this young singer promises to continue to highlight her name in the future.

With her unique stage performance style, Huyen Trang has conquered the audience with her flexible combination of chamber music, opera and lyrical music. The diversity and creativity in her performance have highlighted her name in the art world, creating a distinct mark.

With a professional and polite mindset at work, Huyen Trang is not only a singer but also a hard-working and quality worker. She constantly strives to bring the audience the best musical experiences.

However, looking at the current art scene, Huyen Trang shares an objective and sincere perspective. She realizes that art is developing strongly, but is also full of challenges and harshness. In an era where music requires a good voice and also requires a beautiful appearance, young female singers in traditional music like Huyen Trang are facing fierce competition from other artists.

With a series of outstanding achievements such as the Special Prize at the "Kyushu Music Concours Competition" 2023 in Japan, and other important awards such as Second Prize at the "National Chamber Music Competition" 2023, Second Prize at the "Young Voice of Hanoi" Competition 2023, Sao Mai Hai Phong Prospective Award 2022, Sao Mai Nghe An Encouragement Award 2022, Sao Mai Northern Final 2022. Huyen Trang has affirmed her position in the art world. These successes are not only personal pride but also motivation to continue to develop and bring the audience unique and sophisticated musical works.
