Khac Anh, a male singer, does not seek fame through scandals or tricks, but chooses to "hide" in music, letting the melodies speak for themselves. He is an artist who silently contributes, creating lasting values for Vietnamese music.

Vu Khac Anh, one of the talented musicians of the 9x generation, has become a favorite name in the Vietnamese music industry thanks to his simple, intimate and emotional compositions. Although he does not pursue the glamorous lifestyle of showbiz, Khac Anh still affirms his position in the hearts of the audience with hit songs such as "Co anh o day roi", "Vo tu", "Rung dong", and many other songs. Khac Anh's musical journey is a combination of passion, constant effort and special opportunities in life.

Vu Khac Anh was born in 1992 in Lang Son, in a family with no artistic tradition. However, from a young age, Khac Anh showed a special love for music. Although his family did not support him, he still quietly pursued his passion. In the afternoons, he taught himself piano and hummed his favorite melodies. The big turning point in Khac Anh's life came when his uncle, a person who had a great influence on his career orientation, encouraged him to go to Hanoi to study at the National Academy of Music.

Here, Khac Anh majored in Piano-Jazz, a field that few people in his family understood the importance and complexity of. However, with a strong love for the profession, Khac Anh constantly made efforts, asserted himself and gradually felt the change in his musical style. The years of studying at the National Academy of Music not only helped him perfect his musical skills but also opened up opportunities for future composition.

Khac Anh never thought he would become a musician. His chance to compose was by chance, when during a conversation, a friend encouraged him to try composing. After receiving encouragement from his friends, he started writing music. His first compositions did not receive much attention from the public, but thanks to his perseverance, Khac Anh did not give up.

An important turning point in his composing career was when Khac Anh accidentally met the manager of singer Khac Viet. It was this person who helped him connect with artists and started sending his songs to singers. One of Khac Anh's first collaborations was with Vu Duy Khanh, where he composed two songs "Dau" and "Hay lam gi em muon" for his album vol.8. The song "Dau" was especially successful and helped Khac Anh's name begin to be widely known.

The initial successes opened up further collaboration opportunities for Khac Anh, especially with Vu Duy Khanh's album vol.9, in which all the songs were composed by Khac Anh. Receiving many orders from singers in both the North and the South proved Khac Anh's success in creating songs that are easy to listen to and easy to touch people's hearts.

Khac Anh's musical style is mainly pop-ballad. His songs have youthful, cheerful melodies, but are no less profound. His lyrics are very simple and easily touch the souls of listeners, especially young people. Khac Anh's songs such as "Co anh o day roi", "Vo tu", "Rung dong", "Anh tet roi" or "Ve Voi Anh Di" all express sincerity and easily create sympathy.

For example, the song "Co anh o day roi" with its sweet melody and romantic lyrics has created a wave of love from young people. "Vo tu" brings a cheerful, gentle but easy to remember feeling. This proves Khac Anh's ability to grasp the audience's psychology.

Besides pop-ballad, Khac Anh also experiments with other music genres, but the special thing is that no matter what genre, he still maintains his own unique quality in his music - it is accessible and not too sophisticated, but full of emotional depth.

Unlike many other artists, Khac Anh does not choose the path of being famous. He rarely appears in the media and chooses a quiet, unassuming life. His quiet personality makes him somewhat unknown to the public, but this does not make him feel disadvantaged. Khac Anh shares that he only needs the audience to love and remember his music products.

Khac Anh also chose his hometown Lang Son as his place to live and work. He believes that the environment here helps him feel more relaxed, which makes it easier for him to compose. Although he has greater opportunities in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, Khac Anh still decides to stay in Lang Son, where the fresh air and peaceful scenery help him to excel in his composing work.

In addition to composing, Khac Anh also sings in tea rooms and provincial stages. He has also released a number of singles and online albums. Recently, he collaborated with singer Vu Duy Khanh on the song "Vo Yeu". Khac Anh plans to continue composing in the future, release more MVs and consider "going South" when he sees the right time.

Khac Anh always maintains a humble and sincere view of his music career. He affirms that he will continue to create music and devote himself to his passion, without needing to become famous. Although he does not pursue fame, he still receives love from the public thanks to his sincerity in music.
