Details: Vibrant Vietnamese-American artist th?y (pronounced 'twee'), is setting herself apart in today's pop R&B scene. The Bay Area native grew up surrounded by music. She treasured pop idols Britney Spears, Brandy, and Mariah Carey, and at 9, she knew she wanted to be a pop star. Whether it was singing karaoke with family or with her high school choir, th?y cultivated her natural singing abilities throughout her adolescent years with hopes of manifesting it into a career. However, with no understanding of what a professional career in music meant and no artist she could look up to who looked like her, th?y scrapped her dreams and instead focused on school. As the daughter of two Vietnamese immigrants, th?y wanted to make her parents proud by finishing college and eventually entered the medical field. "Growing up, I listened to artists that didn't look like me. People experience heartbreak and pain in different ways, but I never saw anyone who looked like me deliver that message," she explains.
