Meritorious Artist Tuan Phong.
Meritorious Artist Tuan Phong's real name is Nguyen Tuan Phong, born in 1952 in Hanoi. He is the eldest child in a family of 5 siblings.
From a young age, he showed his passion for singing. At the age of 16, he won a prize in the Capital Youth Singing Contest with the song "Liberation Gong, Victory Gong" by musician Hoang Van.
In 1972, Tuan Phong participated in professional artistic activities in the Southern People's Song and Dance Troupe.
During the war years, his voice resounded in many fierce battlefields. He became famous for performing the songs "Hello, Lam Hong Girl", "I am the Driver", "Vietnam's Posture"...
Meritorious Artist Tuan Phong was accompanied by musician Phan Huynh Dieu and People's Artist Quoc Huong throughout his musical career.
During his lifetime, musician Phan Huynh Dieu was very impressed and moved when he heard Tuan Phong perform a series of his songs such as: "Boat and the Sea", "Love Poems at the End of Autumn", "Autumn Sounds", "Afternoon Longing", "Where is that person now"...
He said: "Tuan Phong is the singer who most successfully performed the song Thuyen va bien by Xuan Quynh and me. If musician Pham Duy had singer Thai Thanh and the late musician Trinh Cong Son had singer Khanh Ly, then I have singer Tuan Phong."
After graduating from the Vocal Music Department at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music in 1984, Tuan Phong was retained as a vocal music lecturer until now, contributing to training many generations of students who have become famous in their singing careers.
Talking about his singing career, the artist once told Thanh Nien: "For me, singing is hard labor and when I sing, I pour my heart out to sing with all my heart like a silkworm spinning silk. I always perform difficult songs to feel challenged, to satisfy my passion."
Tuan Phong was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist in 1996. In addition to singing, he also writes poetry, comments, and is a familiar voice reading poetry on Ho Chi Minh City Television.
