Biography
Quang Vinh was born on 18 May 1982 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. An aspiring singer from an early age, he participated in the local youth choir and performed frequently on the radio, television and children music festivals. He became popular with Mẹ hiền yêu dấu, Cho con, Thằng Bờm, Tây Du Ký, Trăng tròn, Tuổi của trăng, Cô giáo mới của em, Heal the world..., and was known as Hoàng Tử Sơn Ca (the Nightingale Prince).
In 1998, Quang Vinh went to the United States to study at Monsignor Bonner High School, Pennsylvania. Upon realising his dream of becoming a professional singer, he returned to Vietnam in 2000. He signed with Kim Loi Studio and his first album, Những Ngày Xưa Yêu Dấu, was released in 2001.

His first live concert Tình Yêu Tìm Thấy in Hanoi was a success with more than 10,000 fans attending.
In 2006, Quang Vinh became the first Vietnamese artist to release a photo book. He is also the first Vietnamese artist to have an official website.
