Thủy Tiên (1985- ) is a famous Vietnamese singer, model and actress.
Trần Thị Thủy Tiên was born into a Chinese-Vietnamese family on November 25, 1985 in the town of Rạch Giá of Kiên Giang Province, Southern Vietnam. At the age of 18, Thủy Tiên relocated to Ho Chi Minh City to study music at Cao Đẳng Văn Hoá Nghệ Thuật (Military University of Fine Arts). It was then she befriended renowned Vietnamese musician Quốc Bảo. Two years later, Thủy Tiên recorded two solo tracks, "Tình Em" and "Ta Đã Yêu Trong Mùa Gió", both of which were featured in the album comprised of various other recording artists produced by Quốc Bảo, Tales - Những Chuyện Kể (2005). Although the album had been heavily promoted by the musician and sold relatively well, both of the tracks recorded by Thủy Tiên had failed to give her the initial career boost much needed in order to establish her name in the Vietnamese pop music industry. Finally, in 2008 Thủy Tiên's career experienced a breakthrough with her recordings of two tracks featured in the soundtrack for the television mini-series, Tuyết Nhiệt Đới. Both the title track and "Giấc Mơ Tuyết Trắng" became major hit singles throughout Vietnam, the latter of which would be nominated for a Mai Vàng (Golden Orchid) Award, Vietnam's equivalent to a Grammy, for song of the year. Thủy Tiên had also picked up the Làn Sóng Xanh Award that year for most promising newcomer. In addition, Thủy Tiên's celebrity status rose even higher as she embarked on yet another career, as an actress, when she landed a supporting role in the television mini-series, Bỗng Dưng Muốn Khóc (2008) starring Lương Mạnh Hải and Tăng Thanh Hà. In 2009, she costarred in the blockbuster film, Nụ Hôn Thần Chết, alongside Johnny Trí Nguyễn, Thanh Hằng and Hoài Linh. That same year, Thủy Tiên also worked on another blockbuster hit film, Đẹp Từng Centimet, with a small acting part. Thủy Tiên had achieved further success on the film's soundtrack with two major hit songs she had recorded and written, "Hát Vang Rằng Em Yêu Anh" and "Tiếng Đồng Hồ", which earned her the Làn Sóng Xanh Award for Songwriter of the Year. She would be awarded with the same accolade in the years 2010 and 2011. In 2012, Thủy Tiên released her most successful and critically acclaimed studio album to date, Vẫn Mãi Yêu Anh. Her other acting credits include Vợ Ơi Em Ở Đâu (2016), Sóng Tình (2018) and Ngôi Nhà Hạnh Phúc (2019). Thủy Tiên has performed for live audiences in concerts all over the world. In addition to her succcessful careers in singing and acting, Thủy Tiên has also been the spokesmodel for various brand names as Omachi, Audi and BVL.
