Henry Chuc (1968-    ) is a singer of dance, hip hop and pop music who had first risen to prominence with overseas Vietnamese audiences in the early 1990s.

Born on January 5, 1968 in Vietnam to parents of Hoa descent, Henry Chuc came to the United States at the age of 11.  From early on, he had developed a keen interest in music and took up playing the drums while attending Verdugo Hills High School in Los Angeles, California.  In 1991, Henry Chuc entered a karaoke talent contest sponsored by the Chinese-American community of Southern California and won first prize.  His prize winning entailed an all-expense paid trip to Hong Kong.  After returning from his trip to Hong Kong, through an introduction of a family friend Henry Chuc landed a job singing weekly at a nightclub called La Cité in El Monte, California for two years.  From there, he went on to becoming a regular performer at the prestigious Ritz Nightclub owned by legendary musician/promoter Ngoc Chanh in Anaheim, California.  In 1994, Henry Chuc signed as an exclusive artist with Thuy Nga Paris and made his first appearance on the Paris By Night stage as part of a trio alongside singers Bao Han and Ngoc Thuy in a medley, Lien Khuc Dong Song Babylon.  That same year, Thuy Nga Paris released his debut solo studio album, A Man Without Love.  During his tenure at Thuy Nga Paris, Henry Chuc also recorded several well received duet albums with Dalena and Bao Han.  Among his most memorable performances on the Paris By Night stage have included Phantom of the Opera, a duet with Dalena, What I'd Say,  Just Walk Away, Stay With Me, a duet with Lilian, Take Our Time, a duet with Bao Han and Va Toi Cung Yeu Em, alongside with Duc Huy and Don Ho.  After an absence of nearly a decade, Henry Chuc made a return to the Paris By Night stage in 2004 on volume 73 with a duet performance with Tommy Ngo in a medley of Elvis Presley cover songs, Don't Be Cruel and Hound Dog.  He has also made several appearances on the popular video series produced by Asia Entertainment.
