Ngoc Dolil: Owner of the famous hit "With you", "shocked" with his appearance that is so different from his voice

Ngoc Dolil was the owner of the hit song "Together" which caused a stir on social networks in 2018. Within just 2 months after releasing the song, it had 100 million views. Ngoc possesses a unique voice and good composing ability.

Ngoc Dolil was born in 1997 and was a student majoring in communications at Ton Duc Thang University (HCMC). Coming to music, Ngoc admitted that he is just a "novice" who has never gone to any training school.

Talking about her love of singing, Ngoc Dolil began to discover her passion since she was in 11th grade. She often participated in performances at school and began practicing composing. Initially, writing music was just by recording the melody that arose in the phone's input, completely without following the usual process.

"I came up with the melody, recorded it, then gave it to my friends to ask to make music for me," Ngoc recalled the first time she got into music.

Asked about her stage name Ngoc Dolil, she bowed her head and smiled shyly, then joked that the reason for the name was quite "young" so it was no longer suitable. She once revealed that she would change her name to facilitate her long-term artistic activities.

"Currently, when the MC introduces Ngoc Dolil, the audience more or less knows that it is the person performing with him. But I think, if the introduction is Hai Ngoc or Ngoc Luong, no one will respond. Therefore, I have I'm a little shy about changing my name and then the audience won't know who I am anymore," Ngoc Dolil answered honestly.

Ngoc Dolil honestly confided that the audience only knows her through her voice instead of her appearance. Because of that, many people mistakenly think that the person singing the song With You must be a hot girl with long hair, white skin and only wears feminine dresses.

It wasn't until they met that they... fell head over heels because Ngoc Dolil in real life was so different from what she imagined. Sitting quietly in the middle of a cafe, if she didn't speak up, the person across from her would probably think she was a real boy because of her short-cut hair, rustic face without any makeup, and tomboyish style.

Responding to the question about appearance, Ngoc Dolil happily said that she is used to others being surprised by her. Many people even loved her voice, but after finding her profile, they didn't believe she was the owner of the hit With Him.

Although her tomboy appearance confuses many people, she has confidence and is not afraid of other people's gossip: "Many people are shocked by my appearance. In fact, I also wear dresses and grow my hair long when I'm young. I was young, but when I was in middle school, I started to feel that those things weren't for me. My parents also supported me in dressing the way I wanted, not caring about girls' lack of femininity."

"My voice and my grandmother have nothing to do with it. However, I'm used to it and don't worry much about it. I just hope people will pay attention to my music products instead of talking about it. gossip about appearance.

I think everyone has a way of life, and we don't need to try to become anyone, or force ourselves to follow a certain model. I am comfortable, confident and happy being myself now," the tomboy style girl affirmed.

Talking about the success of Together with you, Ngoc Dolil said she was really surprised by the achievements her composition achieved. Together with him was composed after an unhappy experience of Ngoc. At that time, she failed to qualify for the show Sing My Song and felt disappointed in herself. After many days of sadness, she decided to create music to lift her mood.

"That's why Together with You was born. If I hadn't failed Sing My Song, I wouldn't have composed that song," she honestly shared.

This is also the first time Ngoc Dolil tried the EDM style. Her previous products were all in a gentle and profound style, singing with the sound of an acoustic guitar rather than electronic music.

Even though they didn't invest much in the MV, images, and songs, they still created their own hits. Made by a team of young amateurs with nothing but passion for music and the enthusiastic spirit of youth. Ngoc also affirmed that the success of the main song was due to luck.

The change in her creative style is seen as a way for her to renew herself, and at the same time a challenge for young artists. She must equip herself with more vocal knowledge to continue pursuing art.

Ngoc revealed that after initially making music based on "instinct", she started going online to self-study music theory and find guitar classes. However, her self-taught vocal knowledge is not specialized enough to help her be confident in composing.

"I will arrange time to study music in depth. I don't want to be known as a musician who doesn't even know the notes."

Asked about her role model in showbiz, Ngoc Dolil said she wants to become a successful musician like Tien Cookie. She also often listens to Tien Cookie's compositions to find inspiration.

The owner of the hit "Together" admitted that he was struggling to find his own path. Knowing her weakness is her thin and weak voice, she plans to thrive in songwriting.

Talking about his creative concept, Ngoc Dolil said: "Some people think that the music young people make is not as passionate and profound as in the past. But I am different. I think every generation experiences many levels of emotions. emotions like love, hate, sadness, happiness...

The way of expression in each generation may be different, but as long as the author is mature enough in thinking, the work they compose will still be salty and deep enough. Please believe in young people making music."
