"Bolero romance" Tung Anh tells about the arduous journey on the first day of his singing career

The TV audience was impressed by Tung Anh's quality performances, along with Tung Anh's romantic but still emotional bolero singing style in Love Storyteller season 5.

Singer Tung Anh was born and raised in Tay Ninh - a land that was not influenced by folk music and lyrical music. But from a young ag.e, he was passionate about music, when the first bolero songs were heard from his father's voice. He is not a singer, but that voice has nurtured the artist's soul in him. The title "romantic bolero" began to be associated with the name Tung Anh.

Therefore, right after graduating from grade 12, instead of looking for a major to have a stable job like many other friends, Tung Anh went to Saigon alone to look for an opportunity. He studied vocal music at the College of Arts and Culture for 3 years and joined the Dream playground at the Youth Culture House. After that, Tung Anh joined in forming a music group and sang in venues.

At first, he mainly sang for the election shows of the Great Music Festival troupes in the province and the West. At the same time, he also participated in singing in small tea rooms in Saigon. Although at this time, the amount of remuneration that Tung Anh receives is meager, but he is still passionate about activities, finding opportunities to meet the audience every night. After the group disbanded, he switched to solo singing. He sang backing vocals, opening the show to create an exciting atmosphere. At the time when he was new to the profession, he did not have many opportunities to express himself, Tung Anh still persisted in raising his desire to become a professional singer. That journey was mixed with many joys and sorrows in the early years of singing.

"The music festivals from the 20th of the Lunar New Year, New Year's Eve lasts until the full moon of January, I sing all the time in the provinces. Big brothers and sisters, big stars have crews and companies to pick them up. I'm a young singer, so I have to go with them. The troupe set up the theater at any place where I was present. Sometimes eating, sleeping, living with the backstage brothers and sisters on stage.Cast then was a symbol, sometimes singing in the province, I was also given fruit baskets by relatives to bring back to my parents. Those are memories and experiences with the profession that I will never forget," Tung Anh recalled.

Later, the music market in Ho Chi Minh City was full of competition of young singers, the massive appearance of game shows on television, but Tung Anh's passion and desire remained intense day by day. He realized that if he kept singing quietly through the day at events and tea rooms, he would stomp his feet and not keep up with the novel thinking of today's young singers. Especially as a bolero singer, the genre is associated with a calm and calm personality. He is determined to go to a contest to challenge, go beyond his own limits.

In 2016, he decided to participate in the bolero competition program. The male singer thinks that this is a playground for him to learn more useful experiences from previous artists. However, Tung Anh's journey stopped in the final night of 9 into the top 4. He left many regrets in the hearts of fans and judges. After that, Tung Anh participated in the artist's version of The Singer of Love Songs and won the second prize in the en.d. After finishing the gameshow, he had the opportunity to perform more in big and small shows, accompanying brands to get closer to the public.

Tung Anh shared: "In addition to passion and enthusiasm, in order to maintain the profession, you must first "live" with the profession or be a famous singer. stable income, investment in art products does not need to be measured, but will be more creative.If the singer is not famous, then I have to work hard and do jobs like I am. I work like a coffee shop business, even though the epidemic season has faced many difficulties, I don't have a heavy heart when doing art activities because I know my strength, attraction, and my own path. I believe that no effort goes unrewarded.
