Who is the 'Queen of French music' who once had a 'huge' salary in the top 10 in Vietnam?

Singer Thanh Hoa was once a shining artist on the Vietnamese music scene in the 1980s and 1990s and was the 'beauty' - the inspiration for the famous song The Little Girl with a Crooked Tooth . In addition, she was also affectionately called by the public as the "Queen of French Music" because she specialized in singing French music and had no rivals at that time. Stories about her life, career... that Thanh Hoa rarely told during her more than 40 years of singing will be revealed by her in this Artist's Life program.

At the beginning of the program, the audience listened to Thanh Hoa's voice through the song Age 13 by musician Ngo Thuy Mien. Thanh Hoa chose this song to start the story because the age of 13 is the most beautiful age in her memory. Accordingly, at the age of 11, Thanh Hoa was selected by musician Tuan Thanh to join the 7-member Tuoi Hong children's music group to teach. After 3 years of training, Thanh Hoa made a splash when she won the special prize in the contest "Singing of the Gun-Holding People" and the B prize at the music contest of the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House. At the same time, Thanh Hoa was also chosen by photographers to be the cover girl for many magazines and take pictures for the annual calendar.

As her name grew, Thanh Hoa also intended to "enter" the film industry when she received an invitation to participate in the film Secret of the Forbidden City . However, she still steadfastly pursued her passion of becoming a singer and devoted all her time to music. Because she did not want to let down the guidance and dedication of her first teacher, musician Tuan Thanh: "Thanks to him, there is a "Queen of French music" Thanh Hoa like today."

One night running to 11 shows

At the end of high school, Thanh Hoa was selected to join a group of permanent singer collaborators for Ho Chi Minh City Television and was about to go on a 2-month tour across Vietnam. At that time, she had to make a trade-off between studying and her passion for singing. Thanh Hoa decided to leave school to go on tour. This left many teachers with regrets because Thanh Hoa's ability could have allowed her to enter prestigious universities because she had excellent academic performance for 10 consecutive years. However, the "Queen of French Music" said that since she was 11 years old, she was determined to become a famous singer, so the trade-off to choose to pursue art instead of taking the university entrance exam has helped Thanh Hoa achieve the success she has today.

Thanh Hoa shared that in the 1990s, when her name was all over the big and small music stages across Vietnam, she was considered one of the 10 singers with the highest salaries in Vietnam at that time, along with the generation of star singers: Ngoc Anh, Phuong Thao, Thu Ha, Hong Hanh... On average, the female singer could perform at 7 or 8 venues a night, with the peak of 11 shows in one evening during the holidays. With her "huge" income, Thanh Hoa also used that money to invest in real estate and run a small coffee shop.

Spend all youth with 3 loves

Not only has she achieved many successes in her career, Thanh Hoa also has a peaceful private life and says no to scandals. The female singer confided that she has devoted her entire youth to love. A first love of 4 years when she was only 16 years old with singer and musician Hien Nang. The couple Thanh Hoa - Hien Nang at that time was considered the most beautiful couple in Vietnamese showbiz.

After that, she got married twice, one lasting 7 years and the other lasting 23 years. Thanh Hoa said: "For artists, a love lasting 10 years is already acceptable and valuable." Therefore, she feels extremely satisfied and has no regrets about this 23-year marriage. Although Thanh Hoa and her husband have been separated for a year, they still respect and cherish each other and together take care of their daughter.

Besides her emotional confessions, singer Thanh Hoa also brought to the audience a series of hit songs full of nostalgia for youth such as: Spring sunshine, Oh beloved life, A time to love, You're still the one, For the missed lover...

Thanh Hoa is always remembered by the audience with the image of hugging a guitar and singing romantic love songs.
