Biography
Vibrant Vietnamese-American artist Thuy is setting herself apart in today’s pop R&B scene. The Bay Area native grew up surrounded by music and treasured pop idols Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. At age 9, Thuy knew she wanted to be a pop star. However, with no artists to look up to who looked like her, Thuy traded her musical hopes for a career in medicine. After a few lackluster years in the medical field combined with a chance visit to a studio session, Thuy finally saw what a professional career in music could look like. In no short time, Thuy recorded “Hands on Me”, winning KMEL 106.1’s Home Turf contest and cementing her first step into pop R&B success.
Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her angelic voice and modern R&B stylings and amassing over 150 million streams worldwide. Released in 2017, Thuy's most commercially successful track to date, "All Night Long", had a viral resurgence in 2020 and proved that Thuy’s celestial voice and knack for earworm melodies were here to stay. The track’s viral success organically crossed over to streaming platforms and skyrocketed to widespread recognition, setting the perfect foundation for her long-awaited debut EP.
2021 marks a turning point for the relative newcomer who is quickly gaining recognition for her powerful vocals and skillful songwriting having garnered support from premier outlets and major DSPs including, Billboard, Paper, NBC, Lyrical Lemonade, Flaunt, Earmilk, Spotify’s New Music Friday, and Apple Music’s Best New Songs. Thuy advocates for being true to yourself and hopes to be a voice for those who want to feel seen. Living by the quote, "On the other side of fear, lies freedom" Thuy shares, “Now, when I do something that scares me, I only find freedom and I want others to realize that. I want my music to give people the strength to shine and inspire them to go for their dreams.”
