Trọng Tấn's son: At 21, he inherited many 'dominant genes' from his father; how does he sing?

The son of singer Trong Tan, Vu Tan Dat, has recently attracted public attention for his mature appearance at the age of 21 and for showcasing many outstanding artistic qualities.

At the age of 21, Tan Dat possesses a handsome face, a tall physique, and a confident demeanor. Many viewers comment that he inherited harmonious features from his parents, including many features quite similar to Trong Tan. Besides his appearance, what interests the public most is his direction and singing ability - a field in which his father is one of the leading vocalists.

Tan Dat, born in 2004, is currently studying vocal music at the Vietnam National Academy of Music. Previously, he studied jazz instruments but later decided to switch to vocal music, finding it more suited to his strengths. His family stated that this change was entirely Tan Dat's own decision, with Trong Tan acting as a guide rather than forcing him into the profession. During his studies, he has been praised by his instructors for his strong foundation, bright voice, and natural ability to interpret songs. This is also why he showed early potential when participating in various artistic activities at school.

Most recently, Tan Dat attracted attention when he won second prize in the Chamber Music category at the Hanoi Singing Contest 2025. He performed the song "Dakrong River in Spring" with a voice that was praised for its strength, clarity, and a style quite similar to Trong Tan's. According to him, although he had previously explored and enjoyed light music, he realized he was more suited to chamber music – a traditional genre that his father had pursued for many years. That's why he chose to shift towards this style and focus on honing his vocal technique to establish himself.

Many believe that being born into a family with an artistic tradition gave Tan Dat more favorable conditions for developing his career, from his learning environment to his early exposure to the stage. Trong Tan once said that his family has three children, all of whom pursue art. However, he doesn't place much emphasis on his children becoming famous, but rather hopes they will grow up in a truly musical environment, with discipline, knowledge, and the preservation of professional values.

In his most recent appearance, Tan Dat appeared confident yet humble in the face of audience attention. He stated that he is still young, needs to learn a lot, and doesn't dare set overly ambitious goals. The award he received is just a starting point to motivate him to further hone his skills and personal style. He also shared that he will continue to pursue classical music as he feels it is the most suitable and sustainable path for his current voice.

From a public perspective, many people praise Tan Dat for his appearance, demeanor, and maturity for his age. Numerous comments suggest he shares a similar spirit with Trong Tan – calm, profound, and serious about his profession. His formal training at the Academy of Music has earned him high praise for his technical foundation and long-term potential. This has led many to hope he can become a rising star, following in the footsteps of professionally trained classical singers.

However, in response to comparisons with his father – one of the leading voices in revolutionary music – Tan Dat said he doesn't feel pressured but rather sees it as motivation. According to him, the similarity in vocal quality is natural because it's an innate trait, but what he aims for is to find his own way of expressing himself to avoid being dependent on his father's image. In the future, he hopes to continue trying out new songs, expanding his technical skills and artistic experience to perfect his singing career independently.

Based on his performances at the age of 21, Tan Dat is considered to have the foundation, talent, and opportunity to seriously develop a musical career. Although still in the early stages, his efforts and eagerness to learn have led many to expect that in the near future he can become a notable figure in classical music, continuing his family tradition while maintaining his own unique style.
