Education and musical milestones:

Nguyen Van Chung grew up in a family with a passion for music, but he did not initially pursue this major. After graduating from Le Hong Phong High School, he studied Tourism at Ho Chi Minh City University of Foreign Languages and Information Technology. However, an emotional incident in his life made him turn to music as a way to express his emotions.

Right from his first year of university, he started composing his first songs. The song "Old Teacher" , successfully performed by singer Nguyen Vu, was the beginning of his professional music career. He shared that he initially wrote music just for fun, but gradually realized that it was a great passion and the initial successes became the motivation for him to continue composing.

"The Rainy Road" is a classic ballad, "Mother's Diary" carries a humane message about family affection and gratitude to mother, "Warm Wind Scarf" is rich in poetic images and "Sunflower" is a children's work but still retains its subtlety and richness of emotion.

In addition to songs for adults, Nguyen Van Chung is especially passionate about children's music. He has been working on a project of 300 children's songs for 8 years, although he invested a large amount of money but did not bring direct profit. He once shared that musicians are often very dreamy, money is not always as important as the joy and happiness when children listen to music.

However, after many years, the two have collaborated on common music projects, carrying the spirit of patriotism and national pride. He once humorously shared about how he "indulged" singers when collaborating: he indulged Tung Duong as much as he had indulged all his girlfriends combined, because he believed that when singers were satisfied, they would sing with all their heart to reach the audience.
