(1/7/21) - This event is now online.
Vibrant Vietnamese-American singer/songwriter, Thuy, is setting herself apart in today’s pop R&B scene. The Bay Area native grew up surrounded by music and at age 9, knew she wanted to be a pop star. However, with no exemplars 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 followed by a chance visit to a studio, Thuy finally saw what a professional career in music could look like and in no short time, recorded her first record, “Hands on Me”. As the track hit radio on Bay Area’s KMEL 106.1, Thuy cemented her earliest step into pop R&B success.
Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her angelic vocals, skillful songwriting, and modern R&B stylings. Having amassed over 60 million global streams and garnered support from premier publications and playlists including Billboard, Paper, Harper’s Bazaar, Lyrical Lemonade, Flaunt, Earmilk, Spotify New Music Friday, and Apple Music Best New Songs, Thuy proves that her celestial voice and knack for earworm melodies are here to stay.
2021 marks a turning point for the relative newcomer, whose debut EP is set to arrive when the excitement for her music has never been stronger. With the highly anticipated project on the horizon, Thuy hopes that her music continues to inspire confidence in others and to be a voice for those who want to feel seen.
