Kasim Hoang Vu studied at the Military Academy of Arts. The relatively comprehensive training methods there shaped him into not only a singer well-equipped with fundamental professional skills, but also a young artist with strong character and integrity.

He enjoys rock music, which was his mother's forte in the past, and has released rock and rock & roll CDs like " The Sun on the Other Side" with sales of no less than 10,000 copies. However, he persistently pursues many other genres such as ballads, R&B, and pop.

Kasim Hoang Vu was well-received by listeners when he released albums with short, concise "Because" titles such as "Because of Love," "Because of Why," "Because of What," etc. In March 2008, his fourth CD in the "Because" quartet was widely released under the title " Because of You ."
