With over 500 million streams and praise from premier publications including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Paper, Nylon, and Wonderland, Bay Area bred recording artist/songwriter, thuy is the artist to watch. Marked by her celestial vocals, hitmaking penmanship, and modern R&B stylings, the Vietnamese American starlet has carved out a space for herself both within and beyond the community of self-made musical artists that have emerged in the streaming era. Inspired by early 2000s pop and R&B idols Britney Spears, Brandy, and Mariah Carey, thuy’s debut EP 'i hope u see this' released in 2021 alongside its breakout single, “universe”. Her second EP, 'girls like me don’t cry' then catapulted her into global recognition. The title track became a cultural lexicon and won the hearts of fans worldwide. It was named one of the Top 10 Global Songs on TikTok in 2023. In addition to making chart-topping hits, thuy proves her star power with sold-out international tours, major festival billings, and collaborations with leading brands. Having been named People Magazine's #1 Emerging Artists to Watch in 2022 and Vevo DSCVR Artist to Watch 2023, thuy continues to cement her name on the global stage.
