3. It depends on these songs of course. When I was first learning Vietnamese music, it was take me anywhere from about a week and a half to about 2 weeks, may be confidently sing a song. Now I can learn a song within 2 to 3 days. But, to confidently sing that I need a lot more time that was I seat with the music, listen to other singers, talk to my authentic friends, get opinions and then through the feral what is gonna be the best with my voice, with my ability to perform. What’s going to be the best when I bring that song to live on stage.
4. Really sure. I want to say it’s over 35 around 40 now. So I would say about. Yeah.
I like to think that my heart and my soul are very Vietnamese. One that I think that I normally save on a interviews, a lot of people, a lot of my fans at home I say…, a lot of people at home I say that in the past life I was Vietnamese. Then, I used just joke around, but I really should to believe now because that it seems life within 2 year and I’ve been able to do thing that I didn’t think it escapes to do it. And I’ve never thought that Vietnamese was help me learn about myself in the way that was so revealing and in the way that it has me be love this country even more. And eight…you know…I mean in the more I’m here, the longer I’m here and the more I get to…You know met people in other places in Vietnam and see other parts of Vietnam through music. The more I love country, and the more I get understand more and more about the culture of Vietnam which I think it very unique and very special.

It depends on every song, of course...Ah..When I was first learning VNmese music, it will take me anywhere from about a week and a half to about two weeks to...may be confidently sing a song ah..now I can learn a song within two or three days ah..But to confidently sing it, I need a lot more time to sort of...I'm sick with the music ..ah...listen to other singers, talk to my artistic friends, get opinions and then sort of...feel what is gonna be the best with my voice, with my ability to perform, what is going to be the best when I bring that song to live on stage.

I like to think that my heart is and my soul is very VNMese. One the things that I normally say for a lot of interviews or a lot of people, a lot of my friends have heard me say is that: "In the past life, I was VNmese." I used to joke around but like..I really sort of believe that now because it seems like within 2 years, I've been able to do things that I didn't think I was capable of doing. And I never thought that, VNmese would help to learn about myself in a way that was so revealing and in a way that ??? me love a country even more. And it's ...You know..I mean the more I'm here and the longer I'm here, and the more I get to .. You know, meet people in other places in VN and see other parts of VN through music, the more I love this country and the more I get to understand more and more about the culture of VN which I think is very unique and special.

Now I can learn a song within two or three days. But to confidently sing, I need a lot more time to sort of… I'm sick with the music, listen to other singers, talk to my artistic friends, get opinion and then sort of.. feel what’s gonna be the best with my voice, with my ability to perform, what’s going to be the best when I bring that song to live on stage.

Not really sure. I wanna say it’s over 35, around 40 now, so.. I would say that.

I like to think that my heart is and my soul is very Vietnamese. One of the things that I normally say for a lot of interviews, a lot of people, a lot of my fans have heard me say : In the past life, I was Vietnamese. I used to joke around. But like I really sort of believe that now because it seems like within two years, I’ve been able to do things that I didn’t think that I was capable of doing.
