With nearly 30 years of artistic activities, Meritorious Artist Van Khanh is known to the public for his sweet voice and emotions about folk songs and lyrical songs. The female singer also admired the public when she had a perfect marriage with her lecturer husband.

Van Khanh was born in 1978 in Quang Tri in a family with a tradition of making art. She studied vocal music at the intermediate level at the Conservatory of Music in Hue and the university at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music.

She succeeded with many Hue folk songs and lyrical songs, including "Hue Thuong" by the late musician An Thuyen. Van Khanh has released more than 10 albums. Not only famous with folk music, homeland, Van Khanh also surprised the audience when appearing in excerpts of cai luong, bolero music...

In 2012, Van Khanh was conferred the title of Excellent Artist by the state.

Not only has the artistic path met with much luck, Meritorious Artist Van Khanh also has a perfect marriage with her husband who is a university lecturer and 3 beautiful children.

At the age of 13, he sang to earn money to support his family

Van Khanh is passionate about singing since childhood, even using her singing to earn money to support her family. Van Khanh's father is an ethnic musical instrument, and his mother is a singer of the Vinh Linh literary group, so since he was a child, Van Khanh has followed his parents everywhere.

Van Khanh participated in many children's art competitions and officially became a child singer for the Quang Tri troupe at the age of 13. At that time, her family was in trouble, so she went to sing partly because of her passion, partly because she wanted to make money because a singing performance was 4,000 VND.

In 10th grade, Van Khanh went to Hue to study vocal music at the Intermediate Music Academy and started going to shows... to earn money.

This time, Van Khanh has an unforgettable memory. Once, after finishing singing "Ten Thuong", she was asked to perform another song, but because she was trembling and nervous, she forgot the lyrics. On the way home, Van Khanh cried a lot, even though she still received a salary of 5,000 VND as money for makeup.

After that incident, Van Khanh was "trained" by her father in a Hue song course, plus with a heavenly voice, she quickly became a "vedette" at Hue music events and "running shows tired". .

Was taken over by a famous singer and the reaction was quite harsh

The singer said that at that time, when other places ran shows based on venues, in Hue, they measured by boats, so on a peak night she could sing 4 boats.

However, the female singer soon realized that the unstable thing about the salary level of this singing profession is ice singing, that is, no matter how well they sing, how well they sing, or how much they sing, all singers receive only one level. The same paycheck is 25,000 VND for a performance.

Not to mention, when there is a bonus, it must be divided equally. This reflects an unfair reality that discourages those with real talent.

Shaking off the image of a Hue girl, Van Khanh put on a new shirt of a Saigon woman when Nam moved to establish a career.

She went to Saigon to attend university at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music and established a career here. After studying at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music for 1 year, she started accepting shows again.

After that, Van Khanh joined the Ho Chi Minh City Light Music Center. With more than 30 years of artistic activities, the female singer has released a series of popular albums such as: Ancient Hue, White Reed Cotton, Southern Night Listen to Hue Songs... and won many awards and medals.

During many years of artistic activities, Van Khanh was once bullied by colleagues. The female singer said: "I also met the story of the old ghost bullying the new one when Nam moved. At that time, after 1998, I studied for a year at the conservatory and started receiving shows to sing again.

The most common bullying tactic at the time was to win show time. During a concert, when it was my turn to sing, suddenly a famous female singer ran up and took the time to perform, pushing me down to the next turn.

The MC also knew what he meant, so he asked me to give it to the other singer. I replied directly:

"Although I'm not in a hurry, but if she tells me one word, I'm ready to give in."

Despite being suggested by me, showing goodwill, the other singer still refused to speak. I immediately went to the show, asked for my salary and asked for permission to leave to go to another venue to perform."

Satisfied marriage with university lecturer husband

As a singer of folk music, Van Khanh has a rather private life, rarely sharing her private life with the press. Her image in the public eye is always associated with a graceful ao dai and a gentle, laid-back demeanor.

She is admired by many young singers and becomes an ideal model when she has both a successful career and a happy married life with her husband of lecturers and 3 "full-fledged" children.

After 21 years of marriage, the voice of "Hue Thuong" has had the opportunity to experience her current life with her husband, a university lecturer with three children.

Van Khanh shared that although he does not work in the entertainment industry, his husband always supports and supports his wife to the fullest in artistic activities.

Whenever she goes on tour, he is the one who stays at home to take care of the family and take care of the children so that the female singer can rest assured. Two people working in two different fields, accidentally it is an interesting thing that helps them complement and help each other more in life.

"For me, husband and wife each give in to each other a little, life will be warm and happy. Life is modern now, everything is very fragile, can't say anything but we think, husband and wife. live together to the fullest, share and help each other wholeheartedly.

Everyone has a hobby, a passion, but they share the same goal of striving for the family, for the children, everything will be fine", the female singer confessed in the program "Love Storyteller".

At the same time, Van Khanh said that her eldest daughter is 20 years old, her second son is 16 years old and the youngest is 11 years old. Out of three children, the youngest has an artistic talent. But the female singer did not force or force her child to follow her mother's path, but let everything happen naturally.

As an artist's child, it is inevitable that from a young age, Van Khanh's children sometimes have to leave their mother when the singer goes on tour. However, when she has free time, Van Khanh always prioritizes spending time with her children.

She often takes her children out to play, cook, organize family reunions so that everyone feels gathered and happy. Besides, the female singer also directs the children to be independent so that when their mother is absent, they can take care of themselves.
