Phuong Ly: the journey from a rebellious hot girl to a secretive and successful female singer

She began to attract attention on social networks before officially entering the artistic path as a singer.

Thanks to her youthful, modern music style and personality image, Phuong Ly quickly made an impression in the hearts of the audience.

During her career, she has released many hits and received great support from fans. In particular, she was nominated at the Dedication Music Award, one of the prestigious music awards in Vietnam, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the country's music industry.

Phuong Ly was born in a family rich in artistic traditions. She is the younger sister of singer Phuong Linh - a prominent singer who has made her mark through major music contests. Her parents and sister are both artistic, creating conditions for her to be exposed to music from a young age. However, because she understands the pressures and temptations of the entertainment world, Phuong Linh's sister once objected to Ly's pursuit of singing, on the grounds that the showbiz environment is too crowded and easy for young people to fall.

Despite the obstruction from her family, Phuong Ly still cherishes her passion for music and seeks to assert herself through many different opportunities.

Phuong Ly began to attract attention when she participated in the Teen Star 2007 program and won the first prize. In the same year, she tried her hand at the Vietnam Idol 2007 contest and entered the top 30 finalists. After three years, she continued to return to this playground but only stopped in the semi-finals. Although she has not achieved outstanding achievements in contests, Phuong Ly's image and style have made a mark in the hearts of young audiences.

After two unsuccessful Vietnam Idol contests, she decided to move to Ho Chi Minh City to pursue a career. Initially, Phuong Ly worked as a photo model and fashion business. Although she does not sing professionally, the name Phuong Ly is always mentioned as a "hot girl with a good taste in music" - an image that helps her build a loyal fan community on social networks.

A big turning point in Phuong Ly's music career came on October 28, 2017, when she released the song "My Sun" - a collaboration product with rapper JustaTee. Soon after its release, the song quickly occupied online music charts such as Zing MP3, NhacCuaTui, and YouTube. The music video of the song has exceeded 100 million views, helping Phuong Ly get rid of the label of "hot girl singing" and affirm her position in the V-pop music industry.

This song is not only loved by the audience but also received many compliments from experts. VietnamMoi said that this is "one of the most prominent music products in 2017, marking Phuong Ly's clear transformation from a social network image to a professional artist."

After the success of "My Sun", Phuong Ly continued to combine with JustaTee in the song "Crazy guy" (2018). The song immediately created a fever on online music platforms, holding a high position on many domestic charts. The music video of "Crazy Boy" attracted more than 170 million views on YouTube, contributing to making the names of Phuong Ly and JustaTee the most popular duo at that time.

At the 2018 Zing Music Awards, "Crazy Boy" was nominated in the Song of the Year category - a clear demonstration of Phuong Ly's charisma and musical quality.

Entering 2019, Phuong Ly continued to show her creativity when she released the song "Who are you" in January - once again in combination with JustaTee in the production role. The song continues to receive many positive reviews, especially in terms of visuals and catchy melodies, showing her distinct musical personality.

In the same year, Phuong Ly also collaborated with rapper Binz in the song "So Close" - a song promoting the Free Fire video game. In addition, she also collaborated with big names in the underground world such as Touliver and Rhymastic through the song "Where to sit still".

Not stopping there, she also participates in the production of promotional music products such as:

"Let's go" (in partnership with AirAsia)

"Tet is full of melon strings" (for Sony's campaign)

These projects help Phuong Ly affirm her position as a versatile artist - not only stopping at releasing personal products but also making a mark in the field of brand communication.

After a period of absence, on August 22, 2020, Phuong Ly returned with the MV "Missing You", collaborating with two young producers LyLy and Tinle. The song has a gentle and romantic color - a transformation in more mature and delicate music.

In addition, in August 2019, Phuong Ly and JustaTee became the only Vietnamese artist to collaborate with the international electronic music group Clean Bandit in the song "Ta is", which is part of the global campaign Tuborg Open 2019.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, she also participated in a community campaign with the song "Optimism over the epidemic - It's still fun at home", a collaboration between TikTok Vietnam and the Ministry of Health. The song carries a positive message, calling on people to keep an optimistic spirit during the time of social distancing.

At the end of 2023, Phuong Ly continues to affirm her creativity when releasing new songs in a row in collaboration with Warner Music Vietnam, including:

"You're my exception"

"Little Love"

These products mark a new development step in the direction of professionalism, thoughtfulness and international breath.

In 2025, Phuong Ly will appear in the music program "I am beautiful and happy", continuing to show her coverage on media and digital platforms.

From a girl who was opposed to pursuing art, Phuong Ly overcame all barriers to become a successful singer, stylish artist and personality icon of modern V-pop. Not only has an impressive appearance and taste, Phuong Ly also owns a solid career journey, built by personal efforts, clear musical orientation and quality products.

With seriousness in her career, the ability to grasp modern music trends and sharp visual thinking, Phuong Ly is gradually shaping her own style that is not mixed in V-pop. Although not released too densely, each of her comebacks made a mark thanks to the quality of the product and the careful investment in terms of image and sound.

In the future, Phuong Ly is expected to continue to expand her artistic activities, be able to try her hand at international markets or participate more deeply in the role of music production. With a solid foundation and a loyal fan base, she has the potential to become one of Vietnam's new generation music icons.
