Vu Tram Anh: Life after the ordeal of the singer from the Mekong Delta
Once the pampered daughter of a wealthy show promoter, singer Vu Tram Anh now has to sing at fairs and sell dried fish to make a living after her family went bankrupt and suffered losses from investments.
Singer Vu Tram Anh, a once-famous voice in the Mekong Delta provinces, recently shared on TikTok about her current difficult life after her family went bankrupt. Her images and posts have attracted the attention of many fans who once loved her singing.
The strength to overcome adversity
Facing adversity, Vu Tram Anh said she continues to pursue her artistic career by performing at fairs, weddings, and events. Additionally, to make ends meet, the singer also runs a dried fish business and personally delivers the goods. She shared that she is working with 100% of her energy.
Vũ Trâm Anh's biggest motivation right now is her 3-year-old son, affectionately known as Subin. She revealed that her son is her only asset at this moment. Previously, images of her carrying her son while performing touched many viewers.
On social media, the singer frequently shares pictures of her son and asks him not to be sad about his mother's difficult circumstances. She says that whenever she feels exhausted, just looking at her son gives her the strength to keep trying.
The causes of the difficulties
Vu Tram Anh said that the crisis struck when her family and husband's business failed, leading to bankruptcy. Not only that, she herself lost a significant amount of money due to investing in cryptocurrency on the advice of friends, hoping for a quick financial recovery.
She shared: “I went through many hardships; my family's business failed, and both my husband and I failed. My husband tried various things but they all collapsed and went bankrupt. Then I even listened to advice to invest in cryptocurrencies online and lost quite a lot… Following my friends' advice, I desperately wanted to make money again.”
The golden age of the 'show promoter's daughter'
Vu Tram Anh, whose real name is To Vu Hong Tram, was born in 1982 into a family with a tradition in the arts. Her father was a well-known show promoter in the Mekong Delta. From a young age, she was exposed to the stage, working as an MC and participating in singing performances in her family's shows.
After graduating from high school, Vu Tram Anh decided to pursue a professional singing career. With her pretty appearance, sweet voice, and energetic performance style, she quickly became a popular name. Some of her famous songs include:Shaking my head, Loving the handsome guy, Hello, I miss you, Three people, one wound, Painted skin.
Throughout her career, she has also been a close co-star with many artists such as Lam Chan Khang, Quoc Thuan, Lam Hung, and especially comedian Bao Chung. Artist Quoc Thuan once commented on her: “Tram Anh is a filial daughter, always humble and ambitious, not relying on her family to advance. She always knows who she is and what she needs to do to live her career to the best of her ability.”
Like many artists of her time, Vu Tram Anh's fame has faded, but her strength in overcoming difficulties to care for her son still receives sympathy and support from the audience.
