Minh Tuyết (Saigon, 15 October 1976) is a Vietnamese-American pop singer, currently performing on Thuy Nga's Paris by Night. Her sisters are Cẩm Ly, a singer in Vietnam, and Hà Phương (also a singer) who performs with her as part of the cast of Paris By Night. She is known in the Vietnamese American culture as the Vietnamese Pop Princess. Her real name is Tran Thi Minh Tuyet, which in English literally means "morning snow."
Minh Tuyet, also known as the Vietnamese pop princess, is one of the best selling artists in the Vietnamese communities across the world. As an exclusive singer for the prestigious Thuy Nga Productions for the past four years, Minh Tuyet regularly appears on their flagship Paris By Night music video. Her ascension to stardom was swift and solid thanks to her gifted vocal. She has a deep soulful voice, often blended with a tinge of rawness that heightens a sense of bitterness in many love ballads that she recited. Not only is Minh Tuyet a talented singer, her stunning beauty has been known to captivate the audiences worldwide on Paris By Night. To date, Minh Tuyet has released numerous albums produced by both Thuy Nga and Tinh Productions, the music production company that had brought her name to the Vietnamese communities in the early 2000s.
Born on October 15 in a family of four sisters and two brothers, Minh Tuyet had a passion for music early in her childhood. She started to perform in public when she was a little girl too young to remember how old she was. Her father is a music enthusiast who also wrote his own songs primarily as a hobby. Two of Minh Tuyet's elder sisters are singers Cam Ly and Ha Phuong. Although the three sisters practiced singing and dancing together in their childhood, each pursued a different type of music and established a unique image of their own.
Minh Tuyet started her professional career at the age of 17 when she first appeared on the music stage at Trong Dong in Saigon. With a strong passion for singing, Minh Tuyet was determined to follow her sister Cam Ly's footsteps and pursue a career in singing. Initially her parents had not approved her wishes fearing that she would not be able to handle a life in public eyes. But in the end, with the hope that a career in singing would be rewarding, they granted their youngest daughter the permission to fulfill her dreams.
The year 1997 marked an important turn in her life as Minh Tuyet came to the United States under the international student status. It was a complex decision made with love, tears, and hope. Not only had the departure from her loving family been a difficult experience for her, the early days in the foreign country with a limited language ability proved to be extraordinarily challenging.
