thuy on Blocking People on Instagram, Ella Mai, and Thirst Following | Close Friends
From garnering millions views on YouTube to opening for Ella Mai on her 'Heart On My Sleeve Tour,' thuy is making history and looking objectively fly while doing it. With a nostalgic R&B sound and stories of love and self-empowerment to tell, she’s a name making big noise in the industry, though truthfully, she's at her happiest when surrounded by her dog and Courage Bagels.
Born to Vietnamese refugee parents who couldn’t see her artistic vision beyond the life they built brick by brick and the security their survival instincts value, thuy made a choice bigger than herself when she invested in her musical gifts. She gave permission for every Vietnamese child witnessing themselves in her, paralyzed by fear to take a risk and believe in the potential of their fully realized dreams.
Ones To Watch had a chance to catch up with the songstress to explore it all, from being too nice to block people on Instagram to drowning in the fear of not doing enough.
