Raised with a rich Vietnamese heritage, independent R&B singer thuy (pronounced 'twee'),
began her musical career in stunning fashion with her first radio record, “Hands on Me.” The
record gained widespread support in her Bay Area community after winning KMEL 106.1’s
Home Turf contest and cemented her first step into pop-R&B success.
Growing up surrounded by music, thuy treasured pop idols Britney Spears and Christina
Aguilera, and at 9, she knew she wanted to be a pop star. Whether it was singing karaoke with
family, on the stoop of her childhood home in the Bay Area, or in the high school choir, thuy
cultivated her natural singing abilities throughout her adolescent years with hopes of manifesting
it into a career. However, with no understanding of what a professional career in music meant
and no artist she could look up who looked like her, thuy scrapped her dreams and instead
focused on school. As the daughter of two Vietnamese immigrants, thuy wanted to make her
parents proud by finishing college and eventually entered the medical field. "Growing up, I
listened to artists that didn't look like me. People experience heartbreak and pain in different
ways, but I never saw anyone who looked like me deliver that message," she explains.
After giving up on music, followed by a few lackluster years in the medical field, thuy came
across a chance visit to a studio. It was then that thuy opened her eyes to what a professional
career in music could look like and finally decided to pursue her passion. In no time, she
recorded “Hands on Me.”
Since then, the now Los Angeles-based artist has released several records showcasing her
angelic vocals and modern R&B stylings. Now having amassed over 2.8 million monthly
listeners and 250 million global streams across her catalog, thuy is making her mark and has
garnered support from premier publications and major DSP playlists including Billboard,
Rolling Stone, Paper, Harper’s Bazaar, NYLON, Lyrical Lemonade, Flaunt, EARMILK,
KQED, Wonderland, Spotify New Music Friday, and Apple Music Best New Songs.
2021 marked a turning point for the rising artist debuted her freshman EP, 'i hope u see this'.
Arriving at a time when the excitement for her music has never been stronger, the project has
now amassed over 100 million streams and an audience of its own.
In 2022, she followed up with her second project, ‘girls like me don’t cry’, and won the hearts
of fans worldwide. The young starlet continued to cement 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. She was
selected as Spotify’s September ambassador for EQUAL, a program honoring female game
changes across the industry and fostering equity for women in music, accepted into YouTube
Foundry’s Class of 2022, and landed a spot on the industry coveted Vevo DSCVR’s Artist to
Watch list for 2023. 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. Her
bright future ahead points to enchanting the audiences of a more global market.

Onward to 2023, thuy is poised to further solidify her name in today’s pop culture and hopes that
her music continues to inspire confidence in others and to be a voice for those who want to feel
seen.
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 was
selected to be a part of the inaugural Gold House Futures Music Guild, an initiative aimed at
advancing the success of emerging API creatives, entrepreneurs, and social impact leaders.
Paper has also praised the rising star, highlighting “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.”
