Mew Amazing – A young artist who dares to speak straight out of showbiz

Referring to Mew Amazing, the public immediately imagines a very special musician - music producer of the Vietnamese music industry. Proud, fierce, personality, frank... it seems that phrases with "hot" nuances can all be assigned to the guy. Over the years, Mew Amazing is known for Truc Nhan's "Unexpected and Bright Eyes", "DIVA" by Thu Minh, ... and many experimental products from lyrics to music.

Mew Amazing was born in 1990, originally a student of the Faculty of Foreign Languages at HUFLIT University. He founded an acoustic band called Okra with 6 members. In which, there are 2 contestants of Vietnamese Voice in the first season, Truc Nhan and Thao Nguyen.

In 2013, Mew Amazing participated in the Vietnamese Voice program, was a contestant of the Thu Minh team and had to stop in the confrontation round. Then he took the stage name Mew Amazing. From here, he started his artistic path with compositions written and arranged by himself. He created a series of hits in Vietnamese and brought him a catalog of major awards.

Sharing about the career of musician Mew Amazing

Mew Amazing did not hesitate to frankly voice his thoughts and frustrations with the "hidden corners" of the Vietnamese music industry. He used to be a person who put artistic aesthetics first and felt angry at the thought "just listen to good music". The Mew Amazing of 2021 is more or less calm, but not because of that "lack of fire". The things that he does make Vietnamese music unique and irreplaceable.

The male musician once shared: If anyone asks to buy Truc Nhan's hit, I will still sell it when the contract expires. In showbiz, it's okay to have no friendship!

Uniqueness is not everything

As one of the names with outstanding musical personalities, Mew Amazing thinks that artists should not overemphasize their uniqueness. An artist's ego is a must, but it can also be something that limits an artist's creativity, and sometimes makes it difficult for them to accept failure or rejection.

Later, Mew learned to make music with a more optimistic attitude. A song is born, whether successful or not, will also be a contribution to the development of the music industry. It is still an overlapping brick, creating the background for the bricks that come later. It is also a kind of success that artists should remember and feel satisfied with their work.

Understanding this, musicians will also be more open to music genres without too much judgment.

"A commercially successful song doesn't necessarily mean creative writing. A viral song may not be too pleasing to the ear, not too great in terms of semantics, but it can, it's touching. culture or catch up with the currents of society." Mew added.

Don't try to make music and expect the audience to praise it well. The difficulty of making music is not composing unique songs. The difficulty is composing songs with their own character but still being sympathized by others and taken as their own luggage.

If it's not controversial, it's not Mew Amazing's work

"It's not like every song is controversial. But I'm glad it's 'controversial' because of the content of the song, not because my song sounds like someone else's music," Mew shared.

Speaking of controversy, while writing music, Mew often has a questioning style: "Why does writing sound so awkward?", that's the kind of lyrics that it's okay to say, but when applied to the melody, the lyrics. then it sounds wrong. Mew understands the difficulty of Vietnamese musicians, when the audience listens to a song, they default to elaborate lyrics, even if it's entertaining, it can't be too much and "rude" like: "Let's party tonight. Put your hands up" of foreign songs.

"There is a certain bias here: when listening to foreign music, it is very easy to accept the word 'stupid', even though in the native country, the audience of that country is still "biting" each other. because of the lyrics of that song and vice versa: sometimes simple songs in Vietnam become a phenomenon abroad simply because the audience now accepts the song simply through the melody. , with a music that we grew up with, watching the flow of change is more difficult, demanding than obvious.

This makes me admire the Chinese friends: although the images and lyrics are very ordinary, their quartet makes me really admire," the male artist shared.

Dissatisfied with the translation of Chinese songs with Vietnamese lyrics

As a person who specializes in lyrics, Mew once shared that putting on the scale the translated songs with the original is a loss for the original. Originally, the original work was good with lyrics and melodies, about Vietnam only good tunes. If you write new lyrics but it's not as effective as the original, just sing it in Chinese, but don't do it if you bring it back to Vietnam if it can't be as effective as the original.

He said, "An artist is only known through covers, it's normal. Success is sometimes luck, luck and time, I can't say. But what if after 3 years, 5 years? , that artist is still known only through covers, I will whisper in my ear for them to reflect on themselves.. Cover is also good, spreading the product to more audiences but have seen it for themselves. As an artist, you must let the audience know where your voice is, where your music is.

Outspoken criticism of flattery in the fandom

"There are fandoms that I feel are so loyal to the point that they think the artist is always right. God, they're satisfied, they're happy, they're happy with everything.

This makes me think that Dong Nhi's fandom is very good. Once upon a time, they asked themselves the question: "Why do you keep singing the same music?". They love the artist and are so attached that when they see the artist in need of a change, they speak up," Mew said.

It's okay if Showbiz doesn't have a friendship!

When asked "Suppose there is a person who hates Truc Nhan and they spend a large amount of money, offering to buy Bright Eyes, It's Unexpected from Mew Amazing, then how will you handle it?

The male artist frankly shared:

"The answer depends on the relationship between Mew Amazing and Truc Nhan at that time, in both logic and love. Maybe at that time, Nhan didn't care who I sold it to. In addition, it was still to be considered. My own needs at that time were in need of money, and then I calculated it!

I think if the above "wrong" thing happens, Nhan will have 2 emotions: angry and not angry. Theoretically, there is no way to be angry, but about love there is. We may not be brothers anymore, but we are still colleagues. Like I said, showbiz doesn't have a friendship!".
