Huy Vũ (1975-    ) is a popular overseas Vietnamese singer.

Born as Hoàng Duy Vũ on October 10, 1975 in Nha Trang, Vietnam, he grew up as the oldest in a family of three children.  At the age of 15, Huy Vũ along with his family left their native Vietnam for the United States resettling in Southern California.  While in high school, Huy Vũ actively participated in performing arts and took part in many talent programs organized by the Vietnamese Club.  Immediately after graduating from high school, Huy Vũ enlisted in the United States Army and served for a total of 6 years.  In 1998, Huy Vũ began recording for the overseas Vietnamese music production label, Người Đẹp Bình Dương, and released his debut solo album, Những Lời Dối Gian.  The instant success gained from his debut album prompted executives at Người Đẹp Bình Dương to produce and release a series of continuous studio albums for the young singer during the next several years.  Among his top selling solo studio albums released under the Người Đẹp Bình Dương label included Giã Từ Dĩ Vãng (1998), Tình Đắm Say (1999), Đánh Mất Đêm Vui (1999), Cafe Một Mình (2000) and Trái Tim Hoang Vu (2000).

In the early 2000s, Huy Vũ switched labels from Người Đẹp Bình Dương to Tình Productions and enjoyed further success.  Huy Vũ's popularity would continue to grow during his tenure at Tình Productions as Vietnamese audiences were now able to see him on music videos through his many appearances on the label's music video series, Tình Yêu, Quê Hương và Tuổi Trẻ.  Among his most popular songs recorded for Tình Productions include Tình Đơn Phương, Tình Đơn Phương 2 (both written by Chu Minh Ký), Tôi Ngàn Năm Đợi (written by Nguyễn Kim Tuấn) and Kiếp Ca Sầu, a duet recorded with singer Minh Tuyết.  He has also recorded duets with various other artists including Diễm Liên, Hạ Vy, Thúy Khanh and Andy Quách.  In 2013, Huy Vũ formed his own music label and released a well-received solo studio album, Phai, distributed by Thúy Nga.  His sensual, soulful singing voice along with dashing good looks have made Huy Vũ an audience favorite at live concert shows for Vietnamese communities all over the United States and abroad.

On September 21, 2011, Huy Vũ married fellow singer Quỳnh Vi in a lavish wedding ceremony held in Orange County, California.  The couple live in Garden Grove, California.  In addition to his lucrative singing career, Huy Vũ is the owner of a successful real estate brokerage firm, First Elite Realty & Mortgage.  He holds a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Irvine and an MBA degree from the University of Phoenix.
