Thien Phu Biography Part 1 by Anonymous Contributing Writer/ Friend and Myself

Born in Saigon, South Vietnam to a Swedish-American father and a Vietnamese mother, Thien Phu is the name of a Vietnamese-American singer. Although raised primarily in the United States, Thien Phu has the ability to speak 3 languages; Vietnamese, English, and French. After a chance meeting with one of his idols, the late legendary Vietnamese diva of pop music, Ngoc Lan, Thien Phu then considered a career in Vietnamese entertainment.

While in his early twenties in the 1990s, Thien Phu embarked on a singing career starting out performing for local Vietnamese bands in Orange County, California. This led to performing regularly at Vietnamese cafes, bars, nightclubs, and professional shows throughout the United States and abroad. He quickly found his niche with Vietnamese audiences singing in French, a language he had first acquired as a young child when he had lived in New Caledonia right after leaving Vietnam.
