The singer from Nam Dinh expressed: "Some people only need to participate in one competition to shine. But it took me 7 years. My singing isn't bad, but in terms of my fees or popularity, I'm still quite low."
When I came to Ho Chi Minh City, I learned from others how to spread my products closer to the audience. But looking at it optimistically, I'm not suffering too much, because at least I still have a stage to sing on and shows to earn money.”
