Lam Trường reveals his 'huge' fees during his heyday.

Lam Trường stated that he began his artistic career in 1993. To date, the male singer has spent 30 years in the profession with many proud achievements. Few people know the circumstances that led to his singing career.The Path of LoveMy passion for singing stemmed from a karaoke session.

He shared: "I loved singing so much that I 'persuaded' my mother to open a karaoke bar. When we bought it, I was the one singing all the time. But then it really became a case of 'making money for nothing' because there were so many customers. My job was to operate the machine and choose songs for the customers. Sometimes, customers would see that I could sing well and invite me to sing along for fun. That was a turning point, a good opportunity for me to become a singer."

Lam Trường added that a memorable milestone in his career was in 1996, when he signed an exclusive contract to record 200 songs for a music center. “I remember the contract was worth 20 million VND a year. That was a huge amount of money because a motorbike at that time only cost around 13 million VND. After receiving the money, I immediately bought a Dream motorbike because it was my biggest dream,” he revealed.

Lam Trường recounted that in the past, it was very difficult for fans to get pictures of the artist. Many fans even cut out pictures of the male singer from magazines to hang on their walls, wardrobes, etc. "I once visited a fan's house. Her mother pulled me aside to show me a picture of me that she had hung on her wardrobe. In that picture, my cheeks were almost completely white, I must have been kissed a lot," he said.

When he first started singing, he considered his career very important. Therefore, Lam Trường constantly performed shows without paying attention to his health. However, his thinking changed later on.

Lam Trường confided: “There were nights I sang at 8 venues, 4 songs at each place, meaning I sang 32 songs a night. Sometimes it took a lot of energy, but because of my passion, I didn't mind my health. Now that I have a family, I think I can't be so selfish forever. Although I'm very passionate and my love for music never fades, I have to balance factors like health, family, and career.”

During the program, Phuong Vy shared that she was a huge music lover, but her parents mostly only bought CDs by Trinh Cong Son, Pham Duy, etc. Only when she visited her cousin's house could she listen to modern music. "At that time, her cousin's house had a CD of Lam Truong and My Linh. I loved it so much that I went to their house every day just to listen to it," the winner said.Vietnam IdolThe first season of confessions.
