Reddy: claiming his name in Vpop, 'dethroning' Jack 97, countless hits, refusing showbiz?

Reddy is one of the most popular names in Vietnamese music today, thanks to his soulful ballads. His hit "Thi Thoi" has nearly 70 million views on YouTube, but Reddy is not interested in becoming famous.

Reddy, whose real name is To Doan Huu Duy, is a talented Vietnamese singer and songwriter, known for his gentle and soulful ballads. Although he does not come from a musical family, he has quickly made a name for himself in the Vietnamese music scene through his heartfelt and emotional songs.

Born and raised in a family with no musical tradition, Reddy felt the passion for music in his heart from an early age. He did not have much exposure to professional music in his early years, but his love and curiosity for musical instruments began to form in him very early. The gentle melodies and simple but emotional songs always made him feel close and urged him to try his hand at music.

It was not until he entered university that Reddy had more opportunities to be exposed to and truly pursue his passion for music. During this time, he began to learn different musical instruments such as guitar and piano and composed his first songs. With the support of his friends and the university environment, Reddy gradually developed his composing and singing abilities. This was also when he began to lay the foundation for his music career.

Reddy began to stand out in the Vietnamese music community in 2018 when he released the song "Just a Few Seconds". This song quickly received attention from the audience thanks to its gentle melody and emotional lyrics that easily touched people's hearts. Since then, Reddy's name has become more and more widely known. After "Just a Few Seconds", he continued to release hit songs such as "Then Stop", "If One Day" and most recently "Send", all of which are imbued with lyrical music and emotional depth.

Reddy's music is always associated with love stories and genuine emotions that he wants to share with the audience. He does not try to follow the market or popular music trends, but instead, he always chooses to make music in a natural, sincere and emotional way. Reddy's music style is a combination of gentle, profound ballads and simple, easy-to-understand lyrics. He shares that music for him is a way to tell love stories, his own emotions and thoughts, and that is why he is always loyal to this genre of music.

Reddy does not pursue fame or the glamour of showbiz. He considers himself to be quite an introvert and makes music mainly from personal feelings. He always believes that music must come from the heart and must touch the hearts of listeners. For him, music is a way to freely express himself, not to follow trends or become famous. Therefore, even though he does not have songs with millions of views, he is always happy with his musical path.

Reddy always emphasizes that art is free creation and there is no exact measure for it. For him, music is a part of life, a means to express emotions, and it does not need to be bound by any standards other than sincerity. Therefore, Reddy does not feel worried when there are no million-view hits. What is important to him is that listeners feel every lyric, every melody in each musical product.

Although he does not follow trends or noisy entertainment events, Reddy is still constantly creative and always strives to bring quality products. After the success of "Thuong", he continues to prepare to launch many new products with the criteria of always making music sincerely and not being under any pressure from fame.

The stage name "Reddy" was chosen by Reddy because it reflects his personality and character. The word "Ready" was rewritten as "Reddy", as an affirmation that he is always ready to accept the challenges and the road ahead. This name also shows a simple, unpretentious person who always wants to do everything naturally and in his own way.

Reddy is a talented artist with a unique, calm and emotional musical style. Although he does not pursue fame and glory, he still leaves a strong impression on the audience thanks to his sincerity and quality music products. With gentle and passionate songs, Reddy is gradually asserting his position in the Vietnamese music industry, and will certainly continue to create unique works in the future.
