The news that singer Kasim Hoang Vu died at a hospital in Texas (USA) made a large number of viewers shocked and mourned. Many friends, colleagues and viewers were extremely shocked and unbelievable.

According to the family, Kasim Hoang Vu passed away last week, but relatives want to keep it private to avoid the noise, helping him to be peaceful in the last days of his life. When the sad news was officially announced, many artists and fans simultaneously sent their condolences and reminded of a personality singer who made a special mark on Vietnamese music in the 2000s.

Childhood with two bloodlines and family events

Kasim Hoang Vu's real name is Nguyen Duc Hoang Vu, born in 1980 in Da Nang. He was born in a family with artistic traditions, with his father being of Egyptian descent and his mother being singer Bich Phuong - once known as the "queen of rock music". The combination of Western blood and the soul of a Vietnamese artist seems to have created a very unique Kasim: strong, instinctive but also emotional.

His childhood was associated with theater and tours. From an early age, Kasim followed his mother to rehearsals, concerts, witnessed bright lights and thunderous applause. That atmosphere nurtures in the boy a love of music naturally, like breathing.

When Kasim was about 10 years old, his parents separated. This incident made his childhood soon tinged with adulthood. Since then, he has followed his mother to perform everywhere. At that time, his mother worked at the Quang Nam – Da Nang Music and Dance Troupe, regularly touring to serve the audience in the Central region.

Long-distance car trips, nights of sleeping behind chicken wings, and hurried training sessions have forged Kasim toughness and bravery. He not only learned how to sing, but also learned how to stand firm in the face of difficulties. It was this time that created the foundation for an artist with a strong personality later.

A big turning point from Sao Mai Rendezvous 2004

Entering his teens, Kasim began to assert himself at music playgrounds. He won the Gold Medal at the Central and Central Highlands Singing Festival in 1996 and 1998. In 1998, he won the First Prize of the Hanoi Television Singing Festival, and in 1999 he continued to win the Third Prize of the National Television Singing Festival.

As a result, he won the "Most Favorite Singer" award voted by the audience. This was the turning point that helped Kasim Hoang Vu's name spread strongly, making him one of the most prominent faces of the singer generation in the early 2000s.

After the success of the contest, Kasim continuously released albums such as "For No", "Why", "For you"... His songs are often rock ballad, but still full of personality. The image of a male singer with long hair, bare hair, singing with all emotions has become his own brand.

He was honored as "Promising Singer" at the 2004 Green Wave and received the "Album with Music Idea" award at the Golden Album in 2007. At his peak, Kasim was a familiar face on big stages, from live TV shows to epic live shows.

Not wanting to limit himself to music, Kasim tried his hand at cinema when he participated in films such as Love Chess and Death at Midnight. Although not too prominent in the field of acting, his appearance still creates attraction thanks to his existing reputation and masculine demeanor.

The encroachment shows the desire to renew himself and explore other limits of the versatile artist.

Decision to go to the US when it was at its peak

When his career was stable, Kasim Hoang Vu suddenly moved to the US to settle down. This decision made many viewers regret, because he was in a healthy and well-liked stage. In the US, he married an overseas Vietnamese who was two years younger and had two sons. Different from his lively image in public, he chooses a quiet life, focusing on his family. He rarely shares his private life and limits his appearances in the media.

Living in Texas, Kasim runs a restaurant and nail business to settle down. He also invested in building a home music studio where he could compose and record at any time. In a rare sharing, he said that he did not force his children to follow art. He creates conditions for his children to freely choose their interests. He himself still studied piano and trumpeting even though he was an adult. That spirit of continuous learning makes many people admire.

Illness event due to a strange disease

At the end of 2023, Kasim announced that he had osteoarthrosis, bone cysts in his jaw and neck. The disease caused his face to be deviated, his body lost 15kg and was forced to stop singing. According to a colleague, he had to remove the entire jawbone due to necrosis – a complicated and risky surgery.

In October 2024, he was entangled in rumors of his death but spoke out to reassure fans. However, after that, her health condition continued to deteriorate. He was admitted to the emergency hospital several times as the tumor continued to grow.

At the end of 2025, he was assigned to have an artificial jaw bone replacement for convenient living, but the cost of treatment amounted to about 600,000 USD, creating heavy financial pressure for his family after a long period of treatment.

In the face of difficult circumstances, many artists in the US organized a charity concert to call for donations to help Kasim. Appearing at the event, he touched with his thin and emaciated body but still kept an optimistic smile. That image made many people choke: an artist who used to burn out on stage, now quietly fights illness but still maintains self-esteem and calmness.
