If there is a thing that can illustrate me the most, it must be music.

I am music, and music is me.

Music is what I want to do at the moment and it will be my future career.

It’s no coincidence that I tell this firmly. It is because I can reach the deepest place inside myself when I listen to music and when I do music.

______________________________

At present, I am the vocalist of a band named BUNG MO. Until now we released 3 songs distributed on a wide range of music platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Itunes music, and so on.

THE LATEST SONG 'TRANG RAM'.

'Trang ram' means 'full moon' in English. This song is about a lovely affection of a girl for a boy who she falls in love with. The words and melody are humble, simple, and adorable.

'PHAN' IS OUR ANOTHER SONG.

This song is inspired by Vietnamese women's fate in feudal society. The society that they weren't allowed to follow their dreams and decide anything. The melody and words are heavy and breathtaking.

OUR FIRST SONG 'THE ONE'.

Making music with these 3 extraordinary persons was the very first time I knew that I cannot live without music.

Since then, I decided that music will be a thing, a career, and a passion that I desire to live with.

Along with being a vocalist of a band, I also have written 7 original songs with my own guitar. Composing songs is not just writing the melody and the lyrics, it involves more than that. Each song of mine has its own story, feelings, compassion, enthusiast, materials, and a version of myself in it. Making music is a way of being myself. Music is above all the words that I can say, it is a reflection of me. Once I cannot say anything, music would say for me. You can check out one of my songs here. However, unfortunately, I cannot share my other songs except for the above one on this blog because I have the plan on publishing them later.

I used to think that making music for myself is enough, until one day I enlightened that if my music can save myself, it can save others too. Therefore, music does not stand itself alone, it needs to collaborate with different forms of media to approach people.

Artists need to consider which forms, channels, and touch-points should be integrated to deliver their products more effectively. Specifically, my band as well as myself need to identify our audience to distribute our music on which music streaming, besides, we also need to prepare communication plan & strategy for each product in order to reach the audience on various social media networks.
