At 15, Thanh Lam pursued a professional artistic career. She won the Most Popular Singer award at the Lahavan Music Festival in Cuba in 1989, the grand prize in the National Professional Solo Singing Competition in 1991, and numerous other awards.

"Thanh Lam is a person who is open to learning and always wants to fully exploit her creativity. She still has many dreams to achieve. Having worked for many years, in her creative work, Thanh Lam still maintains a contemporary folk style, but as an artist, I always strive to push my own limits. My unconventional and creative approaches are aimed at satisfying my own singing needs. However, sometimes they don't quite suit the audience's listening preferences, so at times, Lam feels she needs to learn from experience and balance what she wants with the audience's expectations to create products that resonate more deeply with listeners," the People's Artist shared.

With the prestigious title bestowed upon her by the State, the people, and her adoring fans, Thanh Lam also aims for a peaceful, happy, and balanced life.

Thanh Lam wants to create a new style, where everything is controlled, with balance in life, not too happy, not too sad. That is Thanh Lam's wish for the next phase," People's Artist Thanh Lam shared.
