On the afternoon of July 4, singer Tang Duy Tan attracted attention for his statement about music. He wrote on Threads: "I am a rural person by nature, with a rice plant soul, so I make music to serve the people, the general audience, not to serve those with music superiority syndrome."
'Music Supreme'
Tang Duy Tan is a name that has been viral for the past two weeks when he appeared on the show Em xinh say hi and interacted cutely with singer Bich Phuong.
In his Threads post, he said that "serving the people" helps him find a reason to continue his passion for music.

He elaborated further on "superior music": "The music that people with the above syndrome often listen to is the music that my brothers and I played every weekend in the conservatory during our student years, so why didn't I get sick? Maybe it's because I didn't show it off to the world.
At that time, I liked playing Casablanca, Bésame Mucho and Hotel California the most. In the afternoon, I practiced with my brothers at Trinh Cong Son's old house, and in the evening, I went out to play concerts to earn a living. Very chill."
Through his sharing, Tang Duy Tan implicitly confirmed that he has the ability to play an ensemble, but he chooses to play popular music for a large audience.
Tang Duy Tan's use of strong words (musical superiority, disease...) made the article go viral on Threads, and was shared and discussed by many people. Many viewers were surprised because this was the first time Tang Duy Tan had made such a bold statement about his musical path.
Many viewers wondered what negative comments Tang Duy Tan had heard that made him choose to speak out like this. "The counterattack is too harsh", "Var is right on target" - some commented.

Some other viewers consoled the singer: "Are those people big enough for you to care? There are things that only need to be proven by actions, not words"; "Respect Tan for daring to speak up about this. Some people have slightly different tastes than the majority but still think their taste is classy. Criticize all the viral music that they consider "trivial" compared to them".
Some audiences say that music is meant to touch emotions, not to divide social classes. For example, people over 30 listen to Ghibli soundtracks, people over 56 listen to Tang Duy Tan's music, and people over 20 like Trinh's music. Everyone's preferences are worthy of respect.
Tang Duy Tan once said 'What is the purpose of academia?'
As a singer and musician with many viral songs on social networks, Tang Duy Tan often faces academic - popular issues.
He once responded to the question "Can I write academic music?": "Now if you want me to be academic, I can be academic, I am more than capable of being academic. If I can't sing, there is Tung Duong who writes for me.

But what is academia for? Academia is only for the time being, when I want to target a certain audience that I want. But now, when I want to bring happy, upbeat melodies, to make people happy and entertained, it has to have a market element."
Tang Duy Tan's biggest hits are not only famous in Vietnam but also spread to the Chinese market. His name is associated with "Nay Tho", "Dark Night", "Ben Tren Tang Lau", "Turn On Love", "Cut Into Sorrow", "Say Song", "Anh Mat Bi Cuoi"...
