Duong Buu Trung: A son of a famous family, came to America with only $500, now has a big house

Singer Duong Buu Trung used to be a famous model and actor in Vietnam. Later, he immigrated to the US and made a living by singing, but surprised everyone by buying a house early.

Followed the profession because of admiration for grandfather

When it comes to famous musicians of Cai Luong, for stage audiences and artists of the golden generation of the South, the reputation of musician Nam Co has been famous for many decades. He is one of the talented musicians of the Southern Cai Luong stage that when mentioned, connoisseurs immediately mention: Van Vy, Bay Ba, Nam Co, Chin Trich...

Duong Buu Trung is the grandson of musician Nam Co. He came to music from his passion for Cai Luong theater. Although he did not follow his grandfather's footsteps and become a famous musician, he greatly admired the legacy that his grandfather left for his family. He confided: "I regret that I do not have the Vong Co singing voice to follow my grandfather's footsteps to become a Cai Luong actor. I do not have the talent and patience to learn the traditional instrument, so I had to choose the path of singing modern music. However, I determined that I must always try my best and live up to the love that the audience has for my grandfather. Besides the youth music, I have tried hard to study to get acquainted with the music with the Southern folk music, close to the pentatonic music that my grandfather taught me."

And two songs with the folk melody of the homeland music genre: Thuong Qua Viet Nam by musician Pham The My and the song Mung Tuoi Me by musician Tran Long An, were performed by Duong Buu Trung in two programs Cau Vong Tuoi Tho and Buoc Chan Hai The Generation. He also introduced to the audience a new CD Album that he woven into a rather impressive story in the music publication called "I Believe in Love".

After the performance of the program Rainbow of Childhood at the City Theater, Artist Kieu Mai Ly commented: "Performing on stage with actor Duong Buu Trung, I remember the time when I was the director of the Tay Giang - Kieu Mai Ly Cai Luong Troupe. At that time, musician Nam Co often visited my troupe to meet the musicians backstage. All the musicians of my troupe were his students and disciples. He had a cheerful and gentle personality. He always advised his disciples on each beat of the instrument, and gave very gentle instructions. Looking at Duong Buu Trung, I remembered Uncle Nam Co, he lived a kind life and was serious about his profession. I hope Trung will continue to strive on the path he has chosen, even if he does not follow the Cai Luong stage, but on the stage of spoken drama in the future, I hope Trung will shine, while working alongside cinema and music."

Choose music, but be close to cinema

Young audiences who love Duong Buu Trung's singing were surprised by his Album vol.1 "I believe in love" because of his warm, soulful voice. Coming to music, Duong Buu Trung became close to cinema, and he successfully played the main role in the TV series "Long Xich Lo" (TFS). Duong Buu Trung made a more surprising impression when he successfully transformed into a sharp-edged role in the TV series "White Dollar". He said: "That is a character with a mental illness but loves sincerely and a bit blindly, to the point that this guy stood up to take all the crimes of the person he loves, accepting to go to jail even though that girl did not love him.

Many audiences have asked me, from a main role in the movie "Long cyclo", why I chose a supporting role in the movie "Do-la trang", in fact I do not refuse any role because it is an opportunity for each actor to learn and be creative in the profession. The essential thing is that I have absolutely no intention of quickly becoming a star when I am not really good at the profession. When making album vol 1, I realized that it was an opportunity that I took to try to do my best in acting. It can be said that after a while entering the music career and participating in the movie "Do-la trang", although it was completely by chance, I did not disappoint director Tran Canh Don. It was this director who invited me to participate in the movie "Toi Pham" because he saw that I had a spirit that was very suitable for the character".

Recently, in the program Nha co khach, singer Duong Buu Trung shared about his current life.

After a period of working in Vietnam, Duong Buu Trung moved to the US to settle down. He said: "I have been in the US for 12 years now, after working in Vietnam for more than ten years. In the US, I only worked as a singer, not an actor.

When I decided to stay in the US, I only had $500 in my pocket. I spent that $500 to study nail art to make a living, but suddenly I got a gig doing some singing so I stopped studying nail art.

I have shows every week so I can make a living. I have to thank the show producers for loving me. I'm a shy person, I invite anyone but I don't dare call anyone to ask for shows."

Comedian Thuy Nga revealed: "I see that Duong Buu Trung works very hard on shows and probably gets paid reasonably so he gets invited a lot. When Duong Buu Trung bought a house in the US, everyone was shocked because at that time, few artists could buy a house. At that time, I also couldn't buy a house."

Duong Buu Trung shared: "I don't do any other business, I just sing, but I also save money and live within my means. I also only bought a house that is just big enough to live in, not too big or too nice, and now I have doubled the profit. I'm also lucky because right after I bought the house, the house price skyrocketed."
