"Holding the title of People's Artist, my responsibilities are even greater. I must be an exemplary artist in my career of striving and contributing.

Artist Ngoc Khang (real name Tran Van Khang) became known to the public while still a student of the Vocal Department at the Hanoi Conservatory of Music, winning first prize in the Hanoi Best Voice competition. In 1989, Ngoc Khang spent seven years studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory (Russia) and graduated with a Master's degree. To this day, he remains one of the most formally trained opera singers in the country.

In 1997, he returned to Vietnam and joined the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre. In 1999, he was invited by French artists to play the lead role in the opera "Parisian Life," which was performed for several nights at the Hanoi Grand Theatre. This was also an opportunity for him to access advanced musical traditions from around the world and further refine his vocal technique.

He received much praise from the public and was hailed as one of the best singers of Russian music in Vietnam.

In 2000, he won the Gold Medal at the National Professional Music and Dance Festival with the song "Flowing River" by composer Pho Duc Phuong. He also left his mark on songs about President Ho Chi Minh such as "Ho Chi Minh, the Most Beautiful Name," "He Is the Unwavering Faith in Victory," and "Uncle Ho Is Marching with Us"...

From 2000 to 2011, he organized several successful solo live shows such as "Time and Memories " (2000), "Winter Love Song" (2001), "Silence of the Soul" (2011)... leaving a lasting impression on audiences at the Hanoi Opera House, the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace, and the Au Co Art Center in Hanoi.

People's Artist Ngoc Khang is one of the brightest stars of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Theatre. He has performed in many places around the world, participated in various international music festivals, and won many prestigious awards.

Ngoc Khang is an artist who has sung for many heads of state visiting Vietnam. Among them, he has sung twice for former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The first time was in 2010 when Medvedev visited Vietnam, and the second time was in 2012 when he returned to Vietnam as Prime Minister.

In 2013, he was again chosen to sing for Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Vietnam, performing two famous Russian songs: "Russia, My Homeland" and "The Energetic Youth."
