In response to this joy, Thanh Lam shared that the State's honor is something that makes her extremely proud and happy. This achievement marks a long journey in which she strives, creates and dedicates herself to music every day.
"I did what I wanted to do with all my ability, with a pure heart for the profession.
Over the past 30 years, I have faced a lot of pressure, some people understand and some do not. Up to this point, for me, this is truly a meaningful answer," Thanh Lam told Dan Tri reporter.
Thanh Lam also became the artist holding the record as the first diva and independent singer to be awarded the title of People's Artist (in 2007, she was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist).
Speaking about this, Thanh Lam said that this is a good sign for artists who are truly talented and have contributed to the art scene. The Vietnamese music diva confided that she hopes her title can inspire independent artists to be more confident on the path they have chosen.
Thanh Lam added that her journey to being awarded the title of People's Artist was a bit different from other artists.
Among the criteria for awarding medals, the medals at the festival are an important factor. Since Thanh Lam is no longer at the age to compete for enough medals, the review board will evaluate her through her contributions to the community, the level of influence on the music industry as well as cultural life.
Thanh Lam expressed her gratitude to the judging panel, veteran artists in the country's art scene, cultural managers, and to her loved ones and loyal fans who have always been by her side over the years.
"Those feelings make me truly grateful for what I have in life," Thanh Lam shared.

Thanh Lam's real name is Doan Thanh Lam, born in 1969 in Hanoi. The singer comes from a family with a rich artistic tradition, her father is musician Thuan Yen, her mother is a monochord artist - Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong.
Since the age of 3, Thanh Lam was taught by her father to sing and play the piano. When Thanh Lam was 7 years old, her mother taught the female singer to play the zither and sing Vietnamese folk songs.
At the age of 9 (1978), singer Thanh Lam was selected to study the 11-year pipa at the Hanoi Conservatory of Music, and also sang in the Son Ca team of the Voice of Vietnam and the Nightingale team of the Hanoi Children's Palace of Culture.
Thanks to being trained in a professional environment from an early age, Thanh Lam has great stage presence as well as a passion for art. At only 12 years old, she went alone to a children's festival in Germany.
In 1985, Thanh Lam stopped studying the pipa and switched to the vocal department, intermediate level at the Hanoi Conservatory of Music. This was an important turning point that determined her future artistic path.
In parallel with her studies, Thanh Lam and singer Thai Bao founded the band White Pigeon and performed everywhere (1985-1987).
In addition, during the period of 1985-1991, as a singer of the Central Light Music and Dance Troupe, she performed in many countries around the world such as: Germany, Russia, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, the Netherlands, Hungary, Romania...
Since then, Thanh Lam has embarked on a professional singing career and achieved many successes.

When mentioning Thanh Lam, music lovers will immediately think of the female singer who paved the way and oriented Vietnamese pop music since the early 1990s and pioneered the push back against the movement of Chinese music with Vietnamese lyrics.
The title "number 1 diva" is always affectionately mentioned by audiences and colleagues when talking about her.
Throughout the 1990s, Thanh Lam "made waves" with a series of hits by musicians Duong Thu, Thanh Tung, Quoc Trung...
Her famous songs are loved by the audience such as: Give me a day , Drops of sunshine on the threshold , Wake up the spring , Spring afternoon, Spring flowers and grass...
She also successfully performed songs composed by her biological father - musician Thuan Yen - such as: Chia tay hoang hon , Tu su , Em toi ... helping his compositions get closer to music lovers.
Thanh Lam is one of the artists who brought contemporary folk music closer to the audience.
In 2005, she collaborated with musician Le Minh Son to release the album Nắng lên, which was highly appreciated by critics, creating a springboard for many songs of the same genre to appear later.
On her musical path, Thanh Lam has shaped her own unique style that is hard to confuse.
The "instinctive", "burning" and "personality" qualities are what people see most clearly in Thanh Lam's music, which according to musician Duong Thu is: "A captivating voice, bold personality, true artistic instinct".
Musician Le Minh Son once commented about her: "A haunting voice, a soul that has yet to reach puberty . "
Thanh Lam's personality is clearly shown through each song she chooses to bring to the audience. Sometimes, it seems to be picky for the listener, but once it sinks in, it is difficult to escape the "Thanh Lam" intoxication.
That personality was partly influenced by her father - musician Thuan Yen - and made her different from many other singers of the same time.
Throughout each stage of her career, that personality has not faded over the years but has become clearer and clearer.
At the age of 54, diva Thanh Lam is not only successful in her career but also flourishing in her personal life. The female singer is happy with doctor Bui Tien Hung (born in 1962) (Photo: artist's Facebook).
Thanh Lam is not only unique in music, performance style and stage costumes, but she is also a very feminine person.
These two characteristics blend together, making her even more attractive and powerful not only in music but also in everyday life.
When she was a young girl, Thanh Lam made people "infatuated" with her sweet beauty. Over time, her beauty became more attractive and beautiful along with her singing voice. That's why people gave her the title "the beautiful singing woman".
Sharing with Dan Tri at a previous press conference, singer Trong Tan said he had sung with Meritorious Artist Thanh Lam in many programs and music products. He felt that this was a gentle woman who attracted men.
Singer Hoang Quyen once exclaimed: "There were many nights when I stood in the wings, just looking at Thanh Lam and forgot what I was about to sing. What a beautiful person and how good she sang."
