Bay Area native recording artist and songwriter, thuy, is setting herself apart in today's pop R&B scene. Raised with a rich Vietnamese heritage thuy grew up inspired by early 2000s pop and R&B idols like Britney Spears, Brandy, and Mariah Carey. In 2021, thuy emerged onto the mainstream stage with her debut EP i hope u see this and its breakout single, "universe". In 2022, she followed up with her sophomore EP, 'girls like me don't cry', and won the hearts of fans worldwide. 2023 proved to be a life-changing, reaffirming year for thuy. as 'girls like me don't cry', became a viral phenomenon and catapulted her into becoming a globally recognized star. The single gone to generate over generated over 10M TikTok videos, over 3 billion views on YouTube Shorts and more than 30 million views on YouTube. The track became a cultural lexicon and was named one of the Top 10 Global Songs on TikTok in 2023.
Crossing over 650 million streams to date, thuy shows no signs of slowing down. Having been named People Magazine's #1 Emerging Artists to Watch in 2022 and landing a spot on the industry coveted Vevo DSCVR's Artist to Watch list for 2023 thuy has also garnered praise and support from premier publications and editorials including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Paper, Nylon, Vibe, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Wonderland, Flaunt, and NBC. In addition to making chart-topping hits, thuy continues to prove her star power with sold-out international tours, major festival billings, and collaborations with major brands such as Google, Samsung, Levi's McDonald's, Zappos, crocs, Foot Locker, and PUMA.
thuy has carved out a space for herself both within and beyond the community of self-made Asian-American musical artists that have emerged in the streaming era and continues to cement her name on the global stage. This year, thuy made history as the first ever Vietnamese American artist to be on the official Coachella bill and has been featured in fashion editorials such as Vouge, L'Officiel and more. With her latest project, 'wings', thuy more than proves that her star quality has staying power and that her celestial voice, unrivaled songwriting, and knack for earworm melodies was here to stay. Pushing herself sonically, 'wings' gives a glimpse into the new era of "thuy" as she is poised to further solidify her name in today's pop culture.

Raised with a rich Vietnamese heritage and a Bay Area native, independent recording artist and songwriter thuy grew up surrounded by music. She was inspired by early 2000s pop and R&B idols like Britney Spears, Brandy, and Mariah Carey, but grew discouraged because none of her idols looked like her and she shifted her focus to the medical field - as her immigrant parents highly encouraged.
After a few lacklustre years in college combined with a chance visit to a studio session, thuy finally saw what a professional career in music could look like and her dream of becoming a star were instantly reignited. thuy recorded her first record, "Hands on Me," which shortly after won KMEL 106.1's Home Turf contest and cemented her first step into pop-R&B success.
thuy since moved to Los Angeles and has released several records showcasing her angelic vocals, skillful songwriting, and modern R&B stylings. In 2021, she debuted her EP, 'i hope u see this', which arrived at a time when the excitement for her music has never been stronger. In 2022, she followed up with her second project, 'girls like me don't cry', and won the hearts of fans worldwide. Today, her music has been streamed over 250 million times and has garnered praise and support from premier publications and editorials including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Paper, Nylon, Vibe, Harper's Bazaar, Wonderland, Flaunt, and NBC. Accompanying her projects, the young starlet has cemented her place in mainstream R&B and on the global stage with two sold out headline tours, major festival billings, and collaborations with major brands such as McDonald's, Zappos, crocs, Foot Locker, and PUMA.

As a vocal advocate of the AAPI community, Thuy was a vocal supporter in the #StopAAPIHate fundraiser. Continuing to bring light to the bubbling wave of Asian American artists, Thuy has been featured in the Smithsonian's playlist curation highlighting AAPI artists as well as featured in NBC Bay Area's Race in America series alongside fellow AAPI leaders such as H.E.R., Amy Tan, and Margaret Cho. Most recently, she was featured in Paper's first feature on Southeast Asian American artists, which highlights "the songstress has carved out a space for herself both within and beyond the community of self-made Asian-American musical artists that have emerged in the streaming era."
