Singer Khanh Ha - A fateful love story with a 13-year-old lover after 'missing the boat'

Singer Khanh Ha whose real name is La Khanh Ha was born in 1952 in Da Lat but her family mainly lives in Saigon. From a young age, Khanh Ha has been immersed in the music space because her family has an artistic tradition.

Her father is artist Lu Lien (La Van Lien), a multi-talented musician. In addition to Khanh Ha, the other 6 siblings include: Tuan Ngoc, Bich Chieu, Anh Tu, Thuy Anh, Lan Anh and Luu Bich. All in the singing career.

Once criticized by his brother Tuan Ngoc for singing without a soul

From a young age, in addition to singing, Khanh also studied foreign languages and was very fluent in English and French. At the age of 16, Khanh Ha started her singing career and stood on the big stage for the first time in a cultural program at Thong Nhat theater with the song Soldier of my heart. That was her most memorable memory and forever, Khanh Ha always mentioned that time.

In 1972, Khanh Ha and some brothers formed the popular band The Uptight. At that time, Khanh Ha was considered to be an undistinguished voice, showing, singing clearly and skillfully releasing words. In 1975, Khanh Ha went to America. At first, she only sang mainly in English and French.

In 1980, the female singer returned to Vietnamese music and released the music tape Calling an old dream, which was loved by many overseas audiences. The female singer "Flying with the wings of a seabird" impresses with her sweet voice and sexy and seductive fashion style and fiery dancing ability. She is considered to have a luxurious singing voice, full of personality.

Around 1980 - 1990 was the peak period of Khanh Ha's voice. Khanh Ha has become a standard for skillful and professional song processing, but still retains her emotions in each song. At that time, a series of singers in Ho Chi Minh City "followed" Khanh Ha's voice, creating a "Khanh Ha phenomenon".

But Khanh Ha once shared, when she first learned to sing, she was criticized by her brother Tuan Ngoc for not having a soul. At that time, Khanh Ha thought: "If you don't sing properly, you can still practice, but the voice is no different from the word machine", and then she began to practice regardless of day and night. If in the past Tuan Ngoc criticized Khanh Ha for singing without a soul in the future, he must admit that she has an abundant natural breath to become an elite vocalist.

Full marriage after "one time boat"

If Khanh Ha's singing career is quite smooth, the love road is not as expected. At the age of 18, she got married but quickly broke up, Khanh Ha went to the US with her baby son and worked hard to earn money to raise her child. Although many talented men of Khanh Ha asked for love, she shook her head and refused for many years after that.

Khanh Ha said: "I worry about singing and taking care of my children, sometimes I don't even have time to take care of children, and partly because birds are afraid of bent branches, so I don't think much about love and marriage anymore."

However, this non-random life leads to another. Khanh Ha happened to meet To Chan Phong when he was working for a clothing manufacturer and designer. A friend of To Chan Phong asked him to make a Vietnamese music video. Thanks to this video, To Chan Phong got to know Khanh Ha as well as many other musicians and singers.

Initially, To Chan Phong was very sympathetic to "sister" Khanh Ha 13 years older than himself. They often talk about work and life. Even Khanh Ha loved To Chan Phong so much that he even made a match for his sister Luu Bich but failed.

They keep sharing the joys and sorrows of life and then fall in love every now and then. But it also had to be together for 5 years before Khanh Ha nodded to share a house with To Chan Phong.

Specifically, in 1990, To Chan Phong's close friend, director Luu Huynh, asked him to help make a Vietnamese music video. It was a turning point in To Chan Phong's life and career, because thanks to filming that video, he met singer Khanh Ha, then a popular singer overseas, owner of Khanh music center. Ha Production.

In 1991, Khanh Ha invited To Chan Phong to sing together a song from the 1991 CD Love each other in the Rain. It was a duet song titled Memories in the Rain - composed by Khanh Ha's father, musician Lu Lien. This is a song full of memories for To Chan Phong because it was the first time he was recorded on a CD, and also the first time he sang with Khanh Ha.

According to To Chan Phong, the first time he met Khanh Ha, he was "falling in love with lightning". Khanh Ha recounted that at that time To Chan Phong told him the following: "Listen to you for a long time, but I thought you were very old, I didn't expect you to look so young."

Because they work together, they have time to eat together and talk a lot. In an interview, Khanh Ha said that although she was close, she still kept her distance, even told her sister Luu Bich: "Bich, I think this guy looks very good, cute, I introduced him. give it to you!". But Luu Bich replied: "You are ungrateful. I don't match you. If you like it, do it for me!".

Unexpectedly, that fierce refusal of Luu Bich was fulfilled, because of fate, after a while, love came to Khanh Ha - To Chan Phong. They lived together for 5 years before getting married.

Khanh Ha shared: "Phong is younger than me but has a deep and profound personality, and I kiss like a child. I like to joke around and make others laugh. That contrast has complemented and removed each other's gauze. even the peak of conflict".

And To Chan Phong, when talking about his wife 13 years older than him, said: "I think the most important thing for a couple that can stay together for a long time is to yield to each other. Besides, of course, we have to be compatible. Sometimes it's good to have a little more meditation!"

After getting to know and marry Khanh Ha, with the encouragement of his wife, To Chan Phong became a singer. Khanh Ha encourages To Chan Phong to sing a duet with Luu Bich, the two make a cassette tape for fun. Unexpectedly, the two brothers' voices were loved by a large number of audiences around the world. The success of the tapes and discs is beyond imagination, but the market is no less. Because of the love songs on the stage, people remember Khanh Ha's matchmaking story for Luu Bich in the past and make deductions.

However, the female singer shared: "I am the one who encourages my husband to duet a lot with Luu Bich. If the public loves this duo, not only will I not be sad but also happy. My happiness is my happiness. enough that I don't need to say anything about other rumors."

Over 30 years of being immersed in love with her younger husband (the press previously wrote that Khanh Ha is 20 years older than To Chan Phong, but To Chan Phong himself once corrected that he was only 13 years younger than his wife), Khanh Ha shared: "I don't have any secrets, just that when I feel the situation is a bit tense, my wife-in-law doesn't have time for each other for a long time, we go on a trip. The fact that I go away often also gives both of us a chance to remember. much more together".
