Duy Khanh

Duy Khanh - Singer, Songwriter
Duy Khanh (1936-2003) was one of the most prolific songwriters and singers of traditional folk music in South Vietnam prior to 1975.  Among his most popular compositions included Ai Ra Xu Hue, Loi Ve Dat Me, Thuong Ve Mien Trung and Xin Anh Giu Tron Tinh Que.  
Duy Khanh moved to the United States in 1988.  He would continue his career as a performer for the overseas community there and also set up a vocals instructional class with legendary Vietnamese songstress, Thai Thanh.  During the 1990s up until the year before his death, Duy Khanh had made several memorable appearances on the live show music video series produced by Asia Entertainment performing songs such as Xin Anh Giu Tron Tinh Que, Xuan Nay Con Khong Ve written by Trinh Lam Ngan, Nguoi Linh Gia Xa Que Nha written by Nhat Ngan and a pair of medleys combining tunes written by Truc Phuong and himself together with Thanh Thuy, Hoang Oanh and Phuong Hong Que.

On December 2, 2003, Duy Khanh passed away at the age of 67 in Fountain Valley, California.  He had once been married and was a father of two children.

His music remains as an inspiration to many contemporary Vietnamese artists of today such as Tuan Vu, Truong Vu, Che Linh and Manh Quynh.

  1. Thank you for posting your comment. However, after I had clicked on the link of ibet888 as you had instructed, I really don't see anything on that website that could or should be linked with VietCeleb's bio of Duy Khanh published here. Did I miss something?
