Pay Quynh Thy: Owner of the hit Busy Heart "retains" fans thanks to her magical voice

Having achieved a lot of success with quality covers, Pay decided to seriously pursue the path of professional singing; determined that he wanted to be "hot" in his career rather than have a "hit" song.

Pay's real name is Le Quynh Thy, born in 1994 in Thua Thien Hue, and became famous thanks to a series of cover songs reaching millions of views. After a period of success with cover versions, the 9X girl decided to seriously pursue the path of becoming a professional singer.

It can be said that Pay is an interesting factor on the Vietnamese music "race". Because the female singer always knows how to bring diverse colors into each of her products. After only 3 years of operation, she has owned many "huge" and extremely viral hit views such as: Don't Like Her, Busy, Where to Find... and many other million-view cover clips.

Recently, Pay marked her musical journey with her debut EP titled "Paylist". One of the factors that makes the songs of the Hue singer retain listeners is the "chill" and the feeling of being healed.

And for the 9X girl's music to reach and touch the hearts of the audience today is also a very long journey full of difficulties and challenges that few people know about.

Before becoming a singer-songwriter, Pay worked in the arts for many years as a dancer. Unknowingly, an interesting opportunity came and led the young girl to a musical journey.

From the beginning, Pay has been known and loved by many listeners through his cover videos of other singers' hits. But now, the 9X singer has clearer directions for her musical path.

When he first started covering songs, Pay simply thought that he liked to sing and create songs that he liked, then post them on social networks. Luckily, listeners like and recognize her, which is also an advantage for the female singer to reach the public through cover songs.

And when the original Hue singer has clearer, more serious directions to produce her own songs, she hopes that when the audience meets her, she will no longer know her through her cover versions, but will know her through her songs. Pay's own song is "Once" or "Busy".

And the Paylist EP is a valuable "brainchild" not only in terms of emotions but also in Pay's entire musical journey. The product was released and received quite positive reviews from the audience. The female singer did a very good job of affirming and highlighting her personal musical color. She invested in filming 5 MVs for 5 songs in the EP with a variety of styles, some sweet and cute but also seductive and sentimental.

"An EP or album seems to tell a more complete story, expressing the artist's own color more. So when the EP Paylist was released, it had a feeling of "yes", Pay's own happiness because In fact, Pay also predicted that this EP would have difficulty reaching listeners because through it he was also telling his own stories.

But surprisingly, the number of listens on digital music platforms is quite positive. Initially, I planned to launch in 2022 but in fact the deadline was 1 year late. When actually working as an indie artist, Pay had to do everything herself and figure out her own path, so she felt a bit self-conscious and didn't dare release an EP because she was afraid of whether anyone would listen. Now, Pay has companions to complete and bring a complete EP with both music and images to everyone," she said.

Pay also wanted to get out of the cover image, and to do that, she had to really find a way to take her official products more seriously.

Up to this point, Pay has also accumulated many quality music products. However, because she started quite late, it unintentionally put pressure on the female singer to integrate into a music market with too many potential gen Z artists.

Pay revealed that it was her father who motivated her to overcome that low self-esteem. "Over 30 years old, Pay's father just took the university entrance exam. He doesn't advise Pay, but he said that in the past he was in college and in a class where everyone was younger than him, but now he's the only one left. As an artist, everyone wants to be a "hit", but Pay has her own mindset that she will be a "hit" in her career."

When asked if music was an accidental turn or was it only now that he realized he needed to get serious about music, Pay shared: "My family, from my parents to my brother, are all involved in music, so Pay was exposed to music." music from a very young age.

Pay himself also determined that music is his dream, not a hobby or temporary feeling. So Pay thinks it's absolutely not a turning point at all, nor is it that now is the time to get serious, but now is the right time for me to step out and introduce myself to everyone."

Not being too loud and rushing to assert herself, this 9X girl is gradually using her own music and style to reach the audience. For Pay, what makes her feel happy during her musical activities is that her name is known to many people.

In the future, the singer born in 1994 still has many personal plans, especially the promise of a new, more complete album. She also hopes that more and more audiences will listen and love her music.
