Minh Khoi - the young singer who won the Style Contestant award in the Talent Rendezvous program organized by VTV made judge Ho Ngoc Ha exclaim: "You sing so well, singing live like a pre-recorded song, not a single wrong note, you are the new generation ballad prince".
Sharing with VietNamNet reporter, Minh Khoi said that he was not born into an artistic family, nor was he surrounded by favorable conditions early on to pursue his passion for singing. But from the early days of high school, Minh Khoi dared to affirm to his family: "I want to follow the path of music ".
The response was met with skepticism, concern and even opposition - like the mentality of any parent when faced with their child's risky choice. The family wanted Minh Khoi to choose a more stable job. And when his academic results declined, it became harder for him to convince them that art was the right path.

But Minh Khoi did not choose to give up but quietly made efforts, both practicing skills and trying to study to pass the entrance exam to Ho Chi Minh City College of Culture and Arts - the place that helped Minh Khoi start a serious journey with music.
Minh Khoi not only studied well but also found a way to make his singing voice "support" himself without worrying his family. An excellent graduation degree in Vocal Music is the clearest answer to the choice of the past year, a testament to a journey of perseverance and endurance.

The Talent Rendezvous contest organized by VTV was the first time Minh Khoi appeared in a large-scale competition. And the Stylish Contestant award that Minh Khoi received was not only the judges' recognition of his musical personality but also a milestone for Minh Khoi himself to look back on his journey - from a student who was not supported by his family to a singer loved by the audience.
"It's an important milestone. But for me, this is just the starting point and I will continue to move forward, trying harder to win the audience's affection," Minh Khoi shared.
Minh Khoi's voice was evaluated by the judges as rich in emotion, a natural gift. Minh Khoi modestly said: "I sing with sincerity. I don't try to do anything too different, I just sing from the heart, so that the emotions can reach the listeners."
Although praised for having a natural singing voice, Minh Khoi affirmed that: love for music may be innate but singing voice is the result of a process of constant hard work. Accompanying Minh Khoi from the early days is singer Hoang Anh Tu - the teacher who guided and trained him little by little to help him mature in each song.
"I love those days of hard training, because thanks to that I have the voice I have now. And the wonderful thing is when those efforts are felt by the audience and the judges," Minh Khoi said.
Pursuing ballad music with a gentle, delicate and emotional style, Minh Khoi affirms that this is his main direction. However, he does not limit himself to a fixed genre.
"Music needs innovation, I will experiment with many different genres of music, as long as I can still maintain my own personality and touch the hearts of listeners," Khoi affirmed.

After the success of the competition, Minh Khoi has embarked on new music projects. One of them is the song " Vua Mot Luu Di " which made an impression at Diem Hen Tai Tai, and will be released in collaboration with a prestigious music production unit. In addition, he is also preparing to introduce a completely new song, and plans to organize a mini-show at the end of the year to thank the audience who have supported him throughout the past journey.
Not only singing on the big stage, Minh Khoi also wants to bring music to the community in the true sense. Together with teacher Hoang Anh Tu, he has participated in many charity programs, performing at schools in remote areas and social protection centers.
"It was those moments that made me understand that music is not just about singing but about sharing. Every place I go, every person I meet, brings special emotions," Minh Khoi said.
Minh Khoi believes that artists not only have the responsibility to spread positive energy through art but can also create human connections through small but meaningful things.
What makes Minh Khoi loved, besides his singing voice, is the sincerity that radiates from the way he talks, behaves and stands on stage. He does not hesitate to share about his failures, his moments of discouragement, or even his regrets when he had to say goodbye to the Talent Rendezvous program.
"My biggest regret is leaving the competition, where I have friends who truly love each other. This is not like other music competitions, here, people do not compete but accompany each other. For me, it is a wonderful journey," he said.
And for young people who are nurturing their musical dreams, Minh Khoi's advice is: "Do everything with sincerity. When you live truthfully and are passionate about what you do, you will meet people who are as sincere as you, and together you will create great things."
