The National Television Singing Festival – Sao Mai Award 2017, was officially launched on May 20 with the participation of thousands of contestants from provinces and cities across the country.

Surpassing many contestants from the Northern region, Luong Bich Nhuan (born in 1990) is the only representative from Nghe An who has completely conquered the contest's jury and won a ticket to compete in the final night (Northern region) which will take place on the night of August 19, 2017.

It is known that Luong Bich Nhuan was born and raised in the mountainous district of Quy Chau (Nghe An province) in a family where no one was involved in the arts. However, from a young age, Bich Nhuan had a strong passion for Vi Giam folk songs. However, the path to music for this Thai girl from the western part of Nghe An was also full of thorns and challenges.

Sharing about her path to music, Bich Nhuan said: "After graduating from Nghe An Pedagogical College, majoring in Music Pedagogy, instead of choosing a teaching career, I decided to go to the North to start a career and pursue a singing career."

However, because I studied pedagogy, my exposure to vocal music was limited. While my family's circumstances did not allow it, I had to sing at weddings to earn money to study vocal music. After 4 years of working part-time and perfecting my technique, I was confident enough to participate in the Sao Mai National Television Singing Contest to get closer to becoming a professional singer.

Participating in this program, I performed the song "Ben Doi" with the desire to bring songs with strong folk melodies of Nghe An closer to everyone, and at the same time introduce my hometown Nghe An where I was born".

At the end of the preliminary round, Bich Nhuan was one of the few contestants that the judges considered promising and especially impressed with her soulful voice.

Before that, she was known by many people and dubbed "the girl of Vi Giam folk songs", when a clip recording the image of Bich Nhuan singing the song "Thuong ve Xu Nghe" at a wedding was spread strongly on social networks.
