VOV.VN reporter had a conversation with Quach Mai Thy about the new project and her cherished career journey. Champion Sao Mai Quach Mai Thy. Reporter: It took 2 years after the Sao Mai contest, Quach Mai Thy had her first music product. Why is there such a delay? Quach Mai Thy: After Sao Mai, I have cherished music projects to debut to the public, responding to the feelings of those who have always accompanied and supported me during the Sao Mai competition. However, I have no financial resources, no giants or sponsors who support the product, so I have to go on stage, accumulate money little by little. At the time when I had a bit of capital, preparing to release the MV on the occasion of the 1st anniversary of the coronation in April 2020, I encountered the Covid-19 epidemic, leading to a lot of delayed and difficult work, forcing me. have to postpone the plan. Sad but also do not know how, had to break his promise to the audience. At the end of 2020, art activities will start again, I also eagerly embarked on a 2-year project. But translation broke out again, causing Thy’s series of shows before Tet and after the Lunar New Year to be canceled. So the intended amount to spend was not available. Thy cried for 1 day 1 night because of self-pity and helplessness !. After stabilizing her spirit, Thy thought that if she had no money to invest in the project, even if she borrowed, Thy also worked to launch the product on the occasion of 2 years. Thy can’t let the viewers who love her wait any longer. Reporter: This product is quite enthusiastic investment by Quach Mai Thy. What is the special point of this project? Quach Mai Thy: With the Thy-Nuong project, I will introduce to the audience 3 products, including: MV “The Unscrupulous Item” (Xam Market), the song “Waiting for you” is inspired by the quote “Xuyun fake fool” Kim Nham ancient chèo play, the song “Ngoc Hoa self-song) was inspired by the character My Nuong in the fairy tale Son Tinh – Thuy Tinh. The MV “The inhuman” describes the struggles, loneliness, and pride of people when standing at the top. The remaining two songs were written by young musician Tran Khanh Ly according to Thy’s order. These are songs that are taken from Vietnamese folk music and stylized to be newer and more modern. In terms of music, Thy is still faithful to the contemporary folk style, but will invest in composing new songs and modern and civilized mix to reach young audiences as well as international friends. Reporter: The exploitation of Vietnamese folk, fairy and historical characters … to build stories, combining the use of folk tunes with modern elements and ordering musicians to write their own is said to be Quach Mai Thy’s pretty daring step when choosing his own path so as not to be mixed with other folk music singers? Quach Mai Thy: Right! I myself also find myself on my own way and this road is very difficult. I am the one who came up with the ideas and decided the material of the music, but it is very difficult to find someone who understands folk and contemporary music to compose songs for me. I myself have to play a bridging role for all processes, even combining musicians, mixers, music production … together. MV “The soulless”. Reporter: Why did Thy choose such a difficult path while singing simple folk music still has good land and income? Quach Mai Thy: In fact, I think everyone is born with a mission. Everyone chooses to be light, hard work for whom? There are a lot of pure folk music artists, so if I also follow this path, it will be difficult for me to create a foothold. Therefore, I have to choose my own path. It’s hard, but I have to try. If I fail, it’s because I don’t have the qualifications. Reporter: Combining folk music with contemporary has not always been successful. Thy ready to receive conflicting opinions, even fail? Quach Mai Thy: Art is always inherited and developed. If we keep the same, chau, ca tru … then it’s just like that. I want to make folk music develop in line with the times, a little easier to listen to, even bring folk music material to a higher peak. I also anticipate conflicting opinions. Actually, if I’m scared, I won’t do it. Art is very abstract and people will perceive it differently. I also want to choose a private audience, but the quality is fine. Reporter: Hoang Thuy Linh is one of the young singers who exploits the literary image into music very well, for example, “Let me tell it to me”. Was Thy putting the characters historical, literary, and folktales … influenced by Hoang Thuy Linh? Quach Mai Thy: Honestly, when I came up with the idea I did not think about Hoang Thuy Linh at all. Ms. Linh is a very good person, but our paths are different. Hoang Thuy Linh is always oriented to the market, reaching a lot with young audiences, according to tastes, creating a very good trend. As for me, I tend to be more specialized in music. In other words, it is more luxurious, not market oriented. I want to conquer people in the profession first and then to the audience, while Hoang Thuy Linh is the opposite. Reporter: In the first project “Thy-Nuong”, the theme music video is the song “The heartless”. The song is about being lonely at the top. So where is Quach Mai Thy on that top now? Quach Mai Thy: I was just digging … up from the foot of the mountain. Actually, this song is not about my life but about other people – people who are so good that they are alone in themselves. Reporter: So what is the peak Quach Mai Thy wants to reach? Quach Mai Thy: I want a position. That is, people in the profession appreciate their expertise and have a certain audience love. After the release, I hope that many viewers will hear and order me to perform. More importantly, this product is a guide to my future path. In the past 2 years, I was also very vague and until now I have found my own way. Although it is very difficult, a very picky path, I still want to risk and challenge myself. Hope to be well received by the audience. Reporter: Thanks to Quach Mai Thy for the conversation./.

During the press conference to release the MV “Pride of Thanh” on the afternoon of April 15, 2021 (one of the three MVs “The Jade Light of Thanh” – PV) Tuyet Nga said emotionally: “I make this product to pay tribute to my homeland, every step I take is associated with my origin, my homeland, my family. Because if there was no homeland, there would be no Russian Snow today, so I am always deeply grateful. Making something or a music product I want to do it with a spirit of civilization and come from my music-loving heart. ”

Singer Tuyet Nga shared at the press conference to launch MV Pride of Thanh on April 15

Despite possessing a beautiful and intelligent appearance, Tuyet Nga does not choose to follow the market music to quickly become famous. She did not decide to take the shortcut.

“I think that music is right for who I am. Many people who have not contacted me when looking at my lifestyle, dynamism and appearance often think that I am very European, very difficult to be close to. But with those who have been in contact, they praise me for having a beautiful soul, I live naturally, without any frills. The way I choose music is the same, neither with shortcuts nor the illusion of my strength. I know where I am, where I am. I also do not have the strength as you do market music to follow it because it is not suitable for me. 1991 beauty expressed.

When asked about the title of Miss and Singer, Tuyet Nga did not hesitate to assert herself that coming to the beauty contest was an experience, a walk of youth: “It’s also difficult to be a beauty queen, to be a singer. Miss is a beauty walk, I never thought of becoming a beauty queen before. When I got the title, I was surprised and lived responsibly with the title. Want to use a title to do volunteer work, spread love between people and people. With great love for music and well-trained vocal training, I chose music as a long-term path ”.

Teacher Anh Tho and student Tuyet Nga

Besides, the female singer also thanked her seniors and teachers, singer Anh Tho. In the song “Pride of Thanh”, Anh Tho sang a duet with a female artist for the first time, according to Tuyet Nga, a special favor for her.

“She said that something easy to come is easy to pass, the hard way to go, dare to conquer it will be a sustainable way. At first, I just thought that it would be easy for me to sing, but the more I go to study, the more difficult it becomes, I graduate and still feel ignorant. The more I study, the more I can think about my shortcomings In this MV, both girls had to record 3 or 4 times. The first time Miss Anh Tho sang a duet with a female voice, it was affection at the level of intimacy. Your voice is strong, you have to restrain to push my voice up. ”, Tuyet Nga shared about her teacher.

Singer Anh Tho shared at the press conference

Anh Tho at the press conference could not hide his joy, mixed pride in his student: “Russia is very beautiful and intelligent, in the early days Russian voice was weak, but she always tried everything. Nga is very busy but has the will to strive, whenever there is time, come to the house of two girls to practice. “

Besides, Hoang Hong Ngoc (Champion of Sao Mai), the author of the song “Pride of Thanh”, adds that because she has a predestined relationship with the Thanh land and is a classmate of the music school with Tuyet Nga, she wrote pen. special lyrics from Thanh to you. Both often talk about Buddhism and life, so they are older than their age. Champion Sao Mai hopes she will be able to compose songs for all the love in all parts of the country.

The impressive point of the MV for homeland gratitude is the recklessness of combining rap lyrics on folk music material in the melody part of the song.

“Actually the song was written for over a year, when Ngoc and I added the Rap part to the song was just a coincidence. Include the rap in the song to make the song more accessible to the younger generation. Using rap in a folk material song is also creative for a song to escape the “local song” label. In addition, rapping helps the song to be fresh, youthful, a renewed view of the home country of youth. ”, Tuyet Nga explained.

The MV “Pride of Thanh” has a folk tone, a bold image of Thanh as a charm in the smile of the old lady selling pipe tobacco, singing Ma song, and fishing in the sea. With the sweet voice of Tuyet Nga mixed with the loving and delicate Anh Tho, a musical product surpasses the “local song”.
