Musician Ngoc Chau - The name is too familiar to Vietnamese music lovers

The name of musician Ngoc Chau is associated with a series of famous songs in the 2000s such as Co Tam today, Spring whispers, Blue morning, If that happens, Spring afternoon,... His songs are always appreciated. Young people love it because of its youthfulness, purity and fresh space.

In his youth, he graduated from the Faculty of Composition - Hanoi Conservatory of Music, class 1983 - 1993. The song Spring Whisper was composed by Ngoc Chau when he was a second year student at the Conservatory. He has a wandering soul, dreaming, can compose at any time when emotions are direct.

As a famous musician for a while, Ngoc Chau is very secretive about her private life. Before his death, Ngoc Chau had many years of quiet life, almost no longer appearing in the entertainment world, although he was still working hard at composing music.

2016 is a rare time Ngoc Chau reappears in public to support her sister Khanh Linh to release the single "Season of Love". Khanh Linh once shared: "Without Ngoc Chau, there would be no Khanh Linh.

Lipstick "Spring Whisper" - Written for an innocent first love

The song "Spring Whisper" can be said to be a memorable milestone in Ngoc Chau's music-making life. "Spring whisper" still resounds every New Year to Spring, shaking the hearts of many people. Few people know, "Spring Whisper" is a song that singer Ngoc Chau wrote specifically for his first love.

Talking about the song that made her name, musician Ngoc Chau recalled: "That day, I asked my mother's permission to go out with my friends, but seeing me leaving early, hurriedly sitting at the piano, she knew right away that I was inspired. Friends can blame me but I don't know what to do, emotions come, don't record quickly, when it's gone, I'll forget all the melody that rang in my head On the contrary, girlfriend received the song already very interested".

He also shared his uplifting emotions when composing this song, "I composed it like I was in a delirium. She heard and also recognized some of the emotions that I gave. This song I wrote. at the time when she was away...and far away from me.After high school, she went abroad to study.We still occasionally write to each other.My love hasn't changed but I have a hunch. that, without me, she would be happier... We broke up.

Later, she got married and stayed there. Love is only one. If I had many loves, I wouldn't be able to compose music, because it's simply not true love. In my song, love is like full of joy and life... but in real life, I'm not lucky enough to live with such a love."

Just like that, in just 20 minutes, a deep and sweet song about spring was born. That is the song "Spring Whispering" by musician Ngoc Chau. And perhaps, stemming from overwhelming emotions, this is the fastest completed song by a Hanoi-born musician.

And I knew how to speak my first love / And I knew how to love and hate / Spring came to me to give me a kiss / And spring gave me your eyes."

When it comes to "Spring Whisper", it is impossible not to mention the soul-blowing person who helped the song fly high and far away, remaining in the hearts of millions of viewers, singer My Linh. Between "Spring Whispering" and My Linh can be said to be the fate of heaven.

At that time, My Linh and Bang Kieu were members of the band Hoa Sua. In 1993, participating in the national festival of light bands, the band decided that singer Thuy Dung was the main vocalist. My Linh at that time had not finished high school and was not noticed. However, on the day of the exam, Thuy Dung was busy with unexpected work, so the short hair singer was the replacement. It was Ngoc Chau who was surprised to hear My Linh sing because of her round feelings, the feeling that everything fits her. Thanks to "Spring Whisper", My Linh won the second prize, the most impressive young singer in the contest. Since then, he has become a famous singer.

For the past 23 years, the sweet and mellow song of musician Ngoc Chau has been memorized by many young people. Every spring, the song plays again, bringing listeners nostalgia about the old spring of Hanoi: peaceful and pristine.

My whole life is busy looking for inspiration, dedicating to music, but forgetting to get married. According to Khanh Linh - the musician's sister - once shared, Mr. Ngoc Chau had experienced 5 love affairs, but all of them ended a long time ago.

Many people say that he is picky, others think that he is too heavy in love with his old relationship, so now it is difficult to regain the feeling of love. Referring to his brother's love story, Khanh Linh only said "Mr Chau is a profound, serious person who values the sacredness of love".

Then Ngoc Chau passed away while still single in March 2022, with no children, leaving only a treasure trove of famous works of the year and mourning in relatives and friends of artists.
