The Thien: Trinh Cong Son's nephew, stylist debuts as singer, learns 1 thing from Kanye West

The Thien is known as the nephew of the late musician Trinh Cong Son, who recently debuted as a singer. The name of his first album is a variation of his real name given by his uncle, so it is very special.

Thế Thiên, whose full name is Trần Thế Thế Thiên, was born in 1998 and is the son of singer Trịnh Vĩnh Trinh - the youngest sister of the late musician Trịnh Công Sơn. He studied installation art and theater in Canada and returned to Vietnam when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out.

Since 2020, The Thien has been known as a stylist for artists such as Suboi, Duc Phuc, tlinh, My Anh... and many international brands, under the stage name Tigrebia.

Talking about his name, The Thien revealed that it was the late musician Trinh Cong Son who named him, meaning "a heavenly object in the mortal world". Notably, he is also the only member of the second generation to continue his uncle's musical path.

Recently, The Thien debuted as a singer, introducing his first album "Tran The", including 10 tracks divided into 2 sides A - B, performing the "seven deadly sins": Blessings, SAIGONTEY, Lun Sau, Everytime, OUT4BLOOD, Diem Xua, Dot Nha, ZOO, Hon Trai and Ve Hue.

The album starts with an intro (blessings), ends with an outro about Hue - a journey full of contemplation by The Thien. The album's name is a variation of his real name - Tran The The Thien with the hope that this will be a link, a gratitude to himself with the musical cradle from his family.

The Thien said the biggest connection between him and the late musician Trinh Cong Son is his passion, his innocence when it comes to music, and his harmonious attitude towards life. In the album "Tran The", he renewed his uncle's compositions such as "Diem Xua" in the song of the same name, "Mot Coi Di Ve" in "Hon Trai", with the voice of Trinh Vinh Trinh's mother.

Through his debut album, The Thien wants to redefine the vinahouse genre, experimenting with his own musical colors based on pop, house, electronic, and traditional instruments. He also participated in composing many tracks in the album, demonstrating his ability right from the first product released to the public.

Regarding naming his songs without any rules, The Thien likened "Tran The" to a "mixed hotpot" to express every aspect of his personality and music. The lyrics are mixed with English because he was born in Canada and speaks three languages: Vietnamese, English, and French, which influences his writing style. The 9x said that Gen Z artists often compose in this style and always have subtitles for each song.

The Thien confided that he was haunted by his image when he participated in Vietnam's Got Talent 2012, and did not want the audience to remember that time. After more than 10 years, he overcame the constraints and confidently returned with a more rebellious image in music and personality. Despite the pressure of entering a market with many talents, he believes that this "playground" needs diversity.

Having long dreamed of becoming a singer, but fate brought The Thien to the stylist profession for more than 4 years, now he feels he is "ripe" enough to return to singing. Sharing with VietNamNet, the male singer said that the new product wants to maintain the spirit of electronic music, where the background music and vocals blend together, without needing to be clear like pop or ballad. When performing live, he will remix the songs to be more suitable.

The distortion of Trinh Vinh Trinh's voice in "Hon Trai", The Thien revealed that it was a sampling technique (refreshing a part of an old song), similar to the way international artists like Kanye West do it. He loves this style because it brings new energy to Trinh's music.

The Thien added that he himself did not understand Trinh's music, but in the past 5 years he has felt and loved it more. Although he received many mixed opinions about living under the "shadow" of being "Trinh Cong Son's nephew", the singer born in 1998 is not sad but instead very proud of this title.

Notably, The Thien also brought two special collaborations with two of the top Gen Z artists on the market today, tlinh and Orange. One side is the queen of digital music, the hottest rapper at the moment, always leading the trend, the other side is a soulful, powerful singer. His collaboration with two female artists with contrasting musical colors brings many new and interesting experiences.

Through the official trailer and previous tracklist, the audience can see the market's leading crew participating in the album "Tran The" by The Thien. The first name to mention is hit-maker - onionn. With more than 10 years of pursuing professional music, this guy is one of the "guaranteed hit makers".

Since MONO's EP "Beautiful", onionn has been absent from the "race" for a year. During the time onionn was silent, music fans kept questioning the plans of this talented producer. Until now, all questions have been answered.

It turns out that while "in hiding", onionn and The Thien produced the album "Tran The". "Choosing the right person", he took on the role of music director, composer, producer - arranger, combined with the Vpop "newbie" to create a complete album.

In terms of visuals, just through the 2-minute trailer, the media and audience were overwhelmed by the concept of "seven deadly sins" - from The Thien's unique perspective. The artistic settings, flexible camera angles, and unique, individualistic looks were created by the market's leading visual team.
