Phuong Ly: From "Phuong Linh's younger sister" to a female singer creating V-pop trends

Since her teenage years, Phuong Ly has shown her artistic talent through singing competitions at school. With a petite but strong appearance, the Thanh girl quickly attracted attention for her modern style and natural charm.

Artistic background and family

Tran Phuong Ly, commonly known to the audience by her stage name Phuong Ly, was born on October 28, 1990 in Thanh Hoa. She is the youngest child in a family with a tradition of art, while her older sister Phuong Linh soon became famous in the Vietnamese music industry with her sweet voice. Living in a musical environment from a young age, Phuong Ly inherited a love of singing and gradually nurtured her dream of stepping onto the stage.

Since her teenage years, Phuong Ly has shown her artistic talent through singing competitions at school. With a petite appearance (about 1m55 tall) but full of personality, the Thanh girl quickly attracted attention for her modern style and natural charm.

The first steps in the singing career

In 2007, Phuong Ly first became known to a wide audience when she participated in and won the Teen Star program. In the same year, she tried her hand at Vietnam Idol season two, reaching the final Top 30. Three years later, in the third season of Vietnam Idol, Phuong Ly returned and went further, reaching the semi-finals. Although she was not able to go far enough to become the champion, these experiences helped her mature, gain more stage confidence and a loyal fan base.

After the competitions, Phuong Ly did not rush to pursue fame. Instead, she chose a slow path, learning and experimenting. She was active in the period 2007-2010, but did not create a big impact, making the audience only remember her as "Phuong Linh's younger sister" rather than as a separate musical personality.

The Pause and the Explosive Comeback

Around 2010-2016, Phuong Ly almost withdrew from showbiz. This was the time she spent improving herself, studying and finding a suitable style for herself. Occasionally, the audience still saw her appearing in some music events, but Phuong Ly was almost "silent" with new products.

The turning point came in 2017, when she unexpectedly returned with the hit "Mật Trời Của Em" - a song in collaboration with JustaTee. The product immediately became a phenomenon, conquering the Vietnamese music charts and being loved by young people thanks to its modern, catchy melody and romantic MV. The song marked a spectacular transformation, bringing Phương Ly from the shadow of "Phương Linh's younger sister" to an independent singer with her own mark.

Make your mark with a series of hits

After the resounding success, Phuong Ly continuously released many other music products, affirming her position in the Vietnamese music industry. Notably, the song "Thang Dien" (2018) continued to collaborate with JustaTee, not only became a big hit but also helped her to be nominated for the Zing Music Awards 2018 in the category "Song of the Year".

During the 2019-2021 period, Phuong Ly maintained her popularity with youthful songs such as "Who are you?", "Missing You", "You are my exception". Each product shows its own style: sweet but no less modern, intimate but still personal.

Phuong Ly’s music is considered suitable for young audiences: simple, easy-to-remember lyrics, catchy melodies, and well-invested MV images. This helps her not only retain long-time listeners but also attract a new generation of audiences.

Image and style

Not only impressing with her music, Phuong Ly is also a prominent face in the fashion world. With her petite figure, baby face and changing fashion sense, she is sought after by many brands. Phuong Ly’s daily photos on social networks often quickly go viral, becoming an inspiration for young people about a modern, liberal lifestyle.

Contrary to the image of a "rebellious" singer, Phuong Ly chooses to keep her privacy. She rarely shares her private life, rarely speaks up about love rumors, even when she is said to have a close relationship with rapper Andree many times. It is this secretiveness that makes the audience more curious and pay more attention to the female singer.

Private life and rare sharing

In several interviews, Phuong Ly admitted that she is an emotional person and values family. She does not want to make a fuss about her love life, but only hopes to find a partner who can understand and accompany her.

However, Phuong Ly still maintains a "clean" image in showbiz, without any serious scandals. This is a big plus in the eyes of the audience, helping her become a beloved and trusted singer.

Career enters a new phase

From 2022-2024, Phuong Ly continued to maintain her form with trendy songs, while participating in many big stages and famous music events. Her career did not stop at million-view MVs but also expanded to the field of live performances, where she demonstrated her stable singing ability and confident performance style.

At the age of over 30, Phuong Ly shows maturity in both music and image. She no longer simply follows trends, but carefully selects each product to ensure quality and personality.

Latest mark in 2025: "Em Xinh Say Hi"

Entering 2025, Phuong Ly continues to prove her enduring appeal when participating in the program "Em Xinh Say Hi". This is one of the notable entertainment shows, gathering many young artists. Phuong Ly's appearance not only caused surprise but also created a strong effect, when the audience saw an energetic and approachable image of her on television.

"Em Xinh Say Hi" also marks Phuong Ly's expansion from music to a variety of entertainment fields, affirming her position as not only a singer but also a comprehensive entertainer. Through the program, Phuong Ly scores points with her charm and humor, while proving that her appeal has not diminished after nearly two decades of pursuing art.

From a small girl coming out of singing competitions, once silent in the spotlight, to a singer with a series of million-view hits and now a multi-talented entertainment face, Phuong Ly has proven herself through a long journey of perseverance and effort.

In 2025, when appearing in "Em Xinh Say Hi", she not only affirmed that she is still one of the prominent faces of V-pop, but also opened up many new opportunities in the entertainment industry. Phuong Ly today has overcome the shadow of "Phuong Linh's younger sister", to become an independent, individual star, and always knows how to renew herself in the public eye.
