"Music prodigy" Be Chau struggled after 17 years, had to work at a bar

In the early years of the 2000s, with children and young people at that time, in addition to the name Xuan Mai singing on all fronts, Be Chau (real name: Nguyen Huy) was also an equally interested child singer. Born in 1997, he has fought on all major and small musical stages across the country since he was only a 5-year-old child.

Born in a family with parents working as a busker, in the early 2000s, Nguyen Huy followed his family's troupe and roamed along the Central region to the South. Although he soon fell in love with cai luong, his real passion is young music. At that time, the southern music market was vibrant with dance songs with popular lyrics. Watching TV, tapes, Nguyen Huy - now about five years old - imitated the choreography and singing of singers such as Nguyen Phi Hung, Lam Chi Khanh...

Chance came when he was invited to participate as a supporting role in a comedy music video with many artists. The video was quickly reprinted by some pirates. I don't know who he is, the pirate world took the stage name Be Chau to give it to me.

Be Chau's bold and vibrant features were enthusiastically received by the audience, especially the popular audience in the West. He sang back songs of young dance music with the theme of loveless love such as: Give me, Blind heart, Pay the debt of love far away... During the peak period, he ran about 4-5 shows every day, every day. received from two to five million dong.

In the period around 2004, people hailed Be Chau as a musical prodigy because even though she was very young, she transformed into a real singer, singing songs with romantic love content. sensitive. He can master the stage with skillful dance moves and gradually become a phenomenon invited by shows and bars. A few years later, the situation of "children singing adult music" was condemned and receded. Be Chau's name gradually disappeared.

After 17 years, Be Chau has had certain changes every day, surprising the audience.

He became famous too early because of his parents' upbringing, he couldn't take a break when he went to a show to faint, he had no friends in his childhood

Instead of going to school like her peers every day, Be Chau had to follow her parents to move continuously in the provinces to run the show. Although he is only a 5-year-old boy, his salary is the main source of income for the whole family. But it was this that caused the boy to fall into a lack of childhood.

Besides singing, Nguyen Huy also had the opportunity to participate in many comedy skits with famous artists such as Hoai Linh, Chi Tai, Viet Huong, Thi Muoi... Therefore, when he was only 6 years old, Nguyen Huy was a pillar. support the family's economy by singing and performing comedy.

Every day, Be Chau goes to class and then comes home and runs to perform until late at night. 9X used to have a period of severe sleep deprivation because of a tight schedule. In those years, the boy only buried himself in the classroom, the stage and in the room. In addition, he doesn't have any friends and he almost doesn't have any childhood memories like other children.

For many years, Be Chau only knew how to be friends with the computer. He has a habit of staying in his room alone, not communicating with anyone including his parents. Even when it was time to eat, he asked the maid to bring it to his room and close the door. This closed lifestyle made him grow up without the necessary social skills. He didn't know about money, didn't know how to take care of himself because before, only his mother took care of it, then later his girlfriend.

Wherever he sings, whatever song he has to sing, is arranged by a hand of his parents. He was forced to run the show by his parents until he fainted and still had to perform. The collected sand is managed by his mother. Gradually he became passive, lacking confidence. He only knows how to listen to adults, every time he has an opinion, his parents quickly dismiss him and think that he is just a child who does not understand.

He once said that in addition to being bold on stage, he lacked many things. For example, he was criticized by the judges in a singing contest for not knowing how to help a female friend when singing a duet. He said that before, he had only performed solo and was confused when he had to collaborate with someone.

Instead of parents to sing to pay the debt, become a child star that is forgotten by everyone, has to go to work at a bar

After a while, Be Chau helped her parents accumulate a large amount of money to buy a spacious and spacious house. Until the 10th grade, he was able to touch his sand when his parents took out 500,000 VND to give him after each show. At its most famous, baby Chau and his relatives lived in a spacious 4-storey house in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City. In order to focus on studying and performing, he does not have to do anything in the house because there is always a maid nearby to serve.

But entering the age of adulthood, Chau's name gradually faded in the hearts of the public. He even tried in the overseas market but did not achieve much success as expected.

After a while, his family defaulted, he had to work hard to earn 300,000,000 VND to pay his father's debt. He also has a debt of 70 million when investing in art.

The difficulty was not over when in 2018, he broke a ligament during a performance in the province. His biological sister and grandmother died at the same time, leaving him in a crisis. Later, he also broke up with his girlfriend, who helped him with everything in life.

Over a period of time, after public opinion began to condemn children's singing to adults as well as feeling the audience's popularity dwindle, Nguyen Huy gradually withdrew to focus on studying, sometimes he went to sing festivals. markets, attend charity events... After that, the name "child prodigy Chau" seems to have disappeared from the entertainment industry.

Despite many misfortunes, the child prodigy still tries to regain his spirit to do it again. He accepted to work as a reservationist for a bar, although his income was not high, but it was enough for him to cover living expenses. After that, he also received music editing in the studio to learn recording experience. His family has temporarily stabilized after many ups and downs, since then he has been determined to return to showbiz.

Because he had broken a ligament, he also put aside dancing, which is his strength, to focus on singing. Instead of just singing impromptu, he began to practice vocals for the most part and oriented towards bolero and lyrical music.

Knowing his own image is now only a memory in the hearts of the audience, the energetic boy always motivates himself to improve his ability. He began to participate in gameshow more so that the audience gradually remembered him and had a dream to pass the exam to the School of Theater and Cinema or the Conservatory of Music. Recently, Nguyen Huy surprised when he participated in the Solo program with Bolero 2018. Baby Chau was once rated as one of the best contestants of the program.

Recently, he wants to get rid of the name Be Chau that has followed him for a long time and wants the audience to call him with his real name Nguyen Huy. It is known that before that he was a student majoring in Communication of a university in Ho Chi Minh City but had put aside his studies to focus on making money.

Not denying the name Be Chau, but Nguyen Huy does not want to stick to the stage name for a while. Sometimes, he regrets being famous too soon. Fame once brought him a lot of money and material, but it also made him more difficult when he came to the path of professional singing. He said: "I don't complain that this profession is shameless or dissatisfied with the past. I only know how to face Be Chau in the past to improve the current image of Nguyen Huy".

Artist Kim Tu Long said that in the early 2000s, he and Nguyen Huy had run shows together many times. At that time, Nguyen Huy was only four or five years old, so he was pampered by his aunts and uncles. Kim Tu Long once let Nguyen Huy perform first, while he sat behind the scenes to watch because he was very fond of his style. He was moved when he heard that Nguyen Huy was back. "I hope the industrial group opens its arms so that he can nurture his passion for singing for a long time," he said.
