- Born on October 14, 1974 in Ho Chi Minh City, Lam Truong, whose real name is Tieu Lam Truong, is Vietnamese of Chinese decent and fluent in Vietnamese, Chinese, and English. Lam Truong developed the passion for music since a very young age. With the encouragement from the eldest brother, Lam Truong actively participated in music activities in school, which later lead him to enroll and graduate from the Conversatorium of Music in Ho Chi Minh City. Even though against his father's wish, Lam Truong secretly continued to pursue his career in music by going to school during the day and singing at local concerts at night. In October 1995, Lam Truong won 2nd place in a competition (very much like "American Idol"), and was noticed by major record companies. With his good looks, tender voice and amiable personality, he quickly captured the hearts of music lovers, especially the young crowd. - During the mid and late 1990's, Vietnam developed a trend for Chinese music and movies. Lam Truong's first Chinese music album entitled "Baby, I love you" was released in 1997.

With this smash hit, he landed on top of the chart of Lan Song Xanh (The Green Wave) Annual Music Award. And ever since, he is voted 9 years consecutively to be one of the top ten singers
