Nhat Tian Bao: The Last Boy of 1088; owning a chain of stores in the US after leaving the spotlight

Referring to 1088, few people in the 8x or 9x era do not know. In particular, the name Nhat Thien Bao is also 1 of the faces that received the most favor from the audience during the days of operation.

1088 is a popular boy band of the early 2000s and received support and guidance from the late musician Do Quang. Group 1080 has 5 members: Ung Hoang Phuc, Nhat Tinh Anh, Dien Thai Toan, Van Quang Long and Nhat Thien Bao.

In 2002, the disbandment of group 1088 shocked Vietnamese showbiz. After that, all 5 members continued their solo singing activities. Two other former members have long since retired from singing and lead relatively private lives in the United States. Among them is Nhat Thien Bao, his real name is Lam Quang Vu, born in 1974 in Ho Chi Minh City.

During the period of independent singing, he launched many products such as: Great Love, Angel Wings, Not Forgotten Vow ... Having encountered many obstacles when he pursued a professional singing path alone, in 2007 he decided to settle down and work in the United States.

Because of freedom, Nhat Thien Bao's first album was quite hard and did not leave a mark. However, in the first album, Nhat Thien Bao experimented with many genres and boasted a variety of voices from the market songs Lullaby Anh Thousand Years (Le Quang), Sorrow in the Rain (National Bao), Sing Forever for Each Other (Vu Quoc Viet), add a bit of rock in Love Dream...

Not being constrained by any atmosphere means that the singer has to endure all the hardships, but this is also a good thing because Nhat Thien Bao has the opportunity to do many things for himself. First, in the second album with the theme How to know in advance, singer Nhat Thien Bao wants to build an image of a singer with personality but handsome or cute is not very necessary. So the whole image was taken by photographer Pham Hoang Nam with a wooden face, simple and without using photoshop.

Secondly, Nhat Thien Bao composed for himself the song "Dream of Happiness", a song inspired by Unbreak my heart and wrote 2 other songs.

Nhat Thien Bao confided: "Bao likes to do the simplest and most ordinary things. Likes to feel and see ordinary things. Strangely enough, ordinary things bring more emotion. The songs Bao composed, too, were simple and rustic. I was also afraid that the audience would not like the simplicity as much as I did, so I only introduced one song on the second album."

Although the image of 1088 has become a thing of the past, Nhat Thien Bao still loves to be mentioned as a member of this successful boyband. The last boy of 1088 still hopes he is like the other members of the group: continue to contribute to the overall prosperity of Vietnamese music.

Or on the occasions when Ung Hoang Phuc and I visited Bao, the three called Dien Thai Toan and Van Quang Long to talk together," Nhat Tinh Anh said.
