Vu, 'The Prince of Vietnamese Indie Music,' talks to Billboard Vietnam about marriage, taking risks in music, and being influenced by John Mayer and Justin Bieber.
Another, possibly surprising, inspiration:, due to how he got started. Bieber did not come from a wealthy family, and began by writing his own songs and busking on the street. Vu recalls thinking, "If he can do it, I can do it too" as he was making his way into the music industry.
Vu fondly remembers what famous Vietnamese composer Quoc Trung said about him: "This guy dares to change. He is willing to move away from the pop ballad to venture into another style of music." "I hate it when people are sad, and one takes advantage of this and releases sad ballads. I was determined to make a sad song but with joy," Vu shared, explaining the song. "I don't want young people to feel sad and depressed when they hear my music. It tires the soul. I want my music to stand out as the 'sunshine after the rain' moment among all the sad songs out there.
