Possessing a bright appearance and sweet voice, Duy Uyen is one of the most popular faces of the group.

Remembering the early days, Duy Uyen said she had to sit in the car to perform and study at the same time.

"At that time, it was very difficult for my family. My father said that if you want to sing, you have to study properly. When Mat Ngoc group was founded, I was in high school and performed a lot at night. I had to take advantage of the times when I was in the car. Performing to study, in the morning I changed into ao dai to go to school. After high school, I continued to do the same when I finished college, which was when Mat Ngoc entered his peak, every night We run to 7 or 8 locations with quite high salaries. We don't have a manager and do it all ourselves.

After separating from the Cultural House teachers, we divided our work among ourselves, one took care of book shows, one took care of money, one took care of costumes, and one took care of practice schedules. At that time, everything was spontaneous, self-reliant, and there was no professional division like now.

We had to ask musicians and directors to teach us how to perform and make music.

Ngoc Mat and White Cloud are two music groups, but they live in the same Children's Cultural House and come from the same training center. The friends of White Cloud are also my friends, we are very close, we have been together since we were little," she shared.

The two of us are like two completely different extremes." , from profession, culture, language. He is 30cm taller than me, big and tall, and I am tiny, we are like a mouse and an elephant."

After getting married, Duy Uyen admitted that she had to change herself quite a lot, from her thoughts to her personality to get along with her husband. Following her husband to live abroad, Duy Uyen decided to start a new career from the beginning.

"In the first years, I missed the stage, I missed the noisy atmosphere every time I performed. So when I first came to America, I felt like I was locked in a cage, listening to birds sing in the morning. I learned to accept and change. changed, then went to study medicine, and had free time on weekends to sing and perform plays for the Vietnamese community," she said.

I still hope that one day I will have the opportunity to return, not only to sing, but to act in plays and movies. For a long time, I've always hoped to be able to do a show with my friends in the Ngoc Mat group to meet the audience again and show off my love, but that's a distant future for now My two children are still young so I need to be responsible for my family," she added.
