Appearing on the show "Evening Stories with Stars," singer and actress Phuong Trinh Jolie shared heartfelt insights about her journey into the arts and how she persevered to pursue her passion.

Born and raised in An Giang , Phuong Trinh Jolie showed early artistic talent. Even in kindergarten, she was familiar with the stage through school performances. In elementary school, Phuong Trinh continued to make her mark by winning a top prize at the provincial-level Red Phoenix Flower Singing Contest.
The first turning point came when she participated in the "Singing from Uncle Ton's Homeland" competition and won first prize. Success followed success, and Phuong Trinh Jolie continued to win first prize in the An Giang Provincial Television Singing Contest. However, at that time, the young woman still didn't think she would pursue a professional singing career, due to her family's difficult circumstances.

After graduating from high school, Phuong Trinh Jolie moved to Ho Chi Minh City to study, pursuing a degree in English with the hope of becoming an interpreter or working for foreign companies. However, her artistic opportunity presented itself again when she entered the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Star competition and won the top prize in 2006. This was a crucial milestone that brought Phuong Trinh Jolie's name closer to the public.
Lacking the financial resources to invest in music from the outset, Phuong Trinh Jolie shifted her focus to acting. Her role in the television series "Purple Scorpion" became a major turning point, helping her gain widespread recognition among television viewers.

It was from her acting fees that Phuong Trinh Jolie saved up to return to her passion for singing and release her debut album, "One Day of Love." However, behind the spotlight lay a challenging period as she had to face financial pressure and family troubles alone. Her mother fell seriously ill, and Phuong Trinh Jolie had to balance performing, filming, and covering her mother's medical expenses. For three years after winning the Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Star competition, she went through a difficult time both mentally and financially.
“There were times when I was preparing to perform and received news that my mother was in critical condition, and I had to rush to the hospital in the middle of the night. Sometimes, I would ask the crew for permission to visit my mother while filming,” Phuong Trinh Jolie shared. The greatest loss came in 2009, when her mother passed away, leaving the artist with the pain of not having had the chance to repay her kindness.
After the ordeal, Phuong Trinh Jolie received a year-long contract to participate in the film "Even If the Wind Blows," which she considered a spiritual gift from her mother in heaven, giving her the motivation to stabilize her life and career. From then on, her roles and musical products gradually gained acceptance from the audience, and her career flourished.
Speaking about how to overcome difficulties, Phuong Trinh Jolie believes that an artist's responsibility is to perform well in front of the public. "I might cry backstage, but when I step out to perform, I have to smile and fulfill my role. That's a sign of respect for the audience," she expressed.
Looking back on her journey, the moment Phương Trinh Jolie is most proud of is her performance of "Wild Dance" on drums in the final of the Television Singing Star competition – a performance that earned her the special prize and is still remembered by audiences today. "Many years have passed, but when people recall it, they are still impressed, and that's what makes me happiest in my career," the singer shared.
From a petite girl with gentle first encounters with the spotlight, Phuong Trinh Jolie has gradually established herself through determination, perseverance, and a love for art. Her journey is not only a story of success, but also an inspiration of strength and belief in passion.
"Evening Talk with Stars" airs at 9:50 PM every Wednesday on THVL1 channel.
