Thuy An - the owner of the best-rated cover of the soundtrack of the movie "Descendants of the Sun" ever, is even prettier in real life than in photos. The first impression when meeting this girl is her radiant smile that makes people unable to take their eyes off her. Let's listen to her talk about her path to music:

“Since I was a child, I loved to sing, everywhere and all the time. I just learned from singers on the radio and TV, but I never had a single music theory lesson. My parents saw that I loved to sing, so they encouraged me to participate in cultural activities in the neighborhood and commune.

My father is a commune police officer, my mother is a teacher at Lang Son primary school (Anh Son district, Nghe An). After me, I have a younger sister who is in 3rd grade. My parents do not want me to pursue an artistic career but want me to focus on studying to become a teacher.

Because I love my parents, I also try to study hard. During my high school years at Anh Son 2 High School, I achieved good academic results, was the class secretary of the Youth Union, and a member of the Executive Committee of the School Youth Union. I also participated in cultural activities organized by the school or district Youth Union. When I entered university, I sang more to satisfy my passion..."

Thuy An was originally an active union officer of Anh Son 2 High School Union.

Thuy An's friends "advised" her to record the singing clip and post it online. It was fun so she "blindsided" it. Thuy An sang a cappella, with music playing from the computer next to her or without music, recording herself with her phone. Unexpectedly, those self-recorded music clips were warmly welcomed by her friends. Some even posted them on other music sites. With the support of many people, Thuy An became more confident about recording and making music clips.

After nearly 6 months, Thuy An has had nearly 100 short music clips. Some are raw, some are polished with studio techniques.

In addition to pop songs, Thuy An also performs folk songs very well. An said: "I am very proud to be born in the homeland of Vi Giam. Studying in Thai Nguyen, every time I meet and exchange with friends from different regions, in addition to children's music, I also sing a folk song so that everyone knows about the identity of my homeland."

Not only performing the songs of other singers, Thuy An also groped to translate the lyrics of the songs from the movie soundtracks to sing. According to An, "Translating the lyrics to sing is very difficult so that the lyrics are close to the meaning and sound good. Vietnamese has a different tone compared to many other languages." She also practiced composing and had her own song. The song "What I Want" composed and performed by Thuy An was praised by many listeners after being posted online.

Interestingly, Thuy An has a pretty face and a sweet smile that is quite similar to IU - a Korean female singer. Coincidentally, this singer is also famous for her clear, childlike voice, similar to Thuy An's voice - giving listeners a pleasant, warm feeling.

Thuy An confided: “Singing is a joy for me. Being listened to and liked by many people makes me very happy. However, I have no illusions about myself. What I want now is to study well, graduate and be able to teach students and sing like before – that’s all.”
