Born and raised in Tuyen Quang, his hometown has always been the support and cradle that gave wings to his artistic path. Talking about his journey to the path of composing, Xuan Binh shared that after graduating from the Military University of Culture and Arts, majoring in trumpet, he worked at the Music Team of the Navy Art Troupe. When he first arrived, the Troupe lacked people to perform the task of mixing and arranging music to stage the performances, often having to hire outsiders at a very expensive cost. Xuan Binh learned by himself, invested in buying technical equipment to learn how to mix and arrange music, and compose music for the Troupe's performances.

With a passion for music, even though he had never attended any composition classes, Xuan Binh still composed, arranged, and recorded to produce the CD “11 songs about the sea, islands, and Navy soldiers”. This CD won the A prize at the Nguyen Phan Vinh Creative Youth Award in 2009 and the third prize at the Creative Youth Award in the Army in 2010.

After graduating, he returned to the Navy Art Troupe, continuing his work composing, arranging, and writing dance music.

The music video "Father's Voice" was filmed in Tuyen Quang, promoting many homeland landscapes to friends everywhere.

Currently, Xuan Binh is a famous musician in Hai Phong port city, but his heart always turns to Tuyen Quang, sending warmth to his hometown through songs about his father and his childhood homeland.

Coming to the song Tuyen Quang Day of Return, listeners are immersed in a peaceful, gentle melody, beautiful lyrics, evoking pride in the land where the author was born and raised: "Upstream of the Green Lo River takes us back to our roots, back to my hometown with vast hills and clouds. Here is the shade of Tan Trao banyan trees, there is the roof of Hong Thai communal house, the revolutionary capital was born from here. Sunshine fills everywhere, Tuyen Quang is intoxicated with human love, my homeland today with a new rhythm of life bursting forth...".

The MV "Father's Voice" was invested quite elaborately by Xuan Binh when filmed at 2 locations, Hai Phong and Tuyen Quang. The work is the heart of a child sent to his father, talking about the feelings of longing, nostalgia, and regret for the past childhood years. Surely every person far from home can find themselves in each of these passionate, lingering melodies: " Only those who have gone far away can understand the hearts of those far from home, after many years of longing and secretly wishing to return...la...la...la. Father's voice calling his child in his dream with loving, affectionate eyes. A lifetime of hardship, sadness, rain and sun, always protecting his child. I remember my childhood with the moments with my father, with my father, the wind drifting everywhere in the clouds and sky. I hope my child is always safe...".

Musician Xuan Binh shared that, although he has been away from home for 20 years, has a small family, and a job he loves, Tuyen Quang is always a peaceful place to rely on when life is out of balance. “For me, the greatest joy is to return after many days away from home, sit on a motorbike, wander around the streets and small alleys, feel the familiarity and peace; then meet relatives and friends again, feel like a child again, be myself in my childhood years. That is an emotion that cannot be exchanged for anything, precious and extremely happy”.
