Thuy Thi Thu Tran Vietnamese: [tʰwi˧˩] (born October 29, 1991) known mononymously as Thuy or Thủy (stylized in lowercase) is a Vietnamese American singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. Thuy is an independent artist[1] and has released 2 EPs. Her single "Girls Like Me Don't Cry" went viral on the video-sharing platform TikTok in the middle of 2023.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Thuy was born in Stockton, California to Vietnamese refugee parents, and was raised in Newark in the East Bay region of Northern California.[2] Karaoke was a primary source of entertainment in her family.[3] She attended Newark Memorial High School, where she was a member of the choir, and then went on to attend the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she majored in biopsychology.[2][4]

Career

[edit | edit source]

2015–2020: Career beginnings

[edit | edit source]

After graduating college, Thuy planned to pursue a career as a physician assistant and held a number of jobs in the medical field but frequently changed jobs due to her lack of interest in her chosen career, working variously at several dental clinics, dermatology offices, and as an optometric technician, while writing and recording songs at night.[1][5] During this time, Thuy released various cover videos on social media.

In 2015, Thuy released her song "Hands on Me". The song gained widespread support in the Bay Area community after winning KMEL 106.1's Home Turf contest.[2] Following the song's success, Thuy moved to Los Angeles with her boyfriend and childhood friend to pursue music-making full-time.

In 2017, she released "All Night Long", which initially gained a small amount of traction.[6] In 2020, the song gained a resurgence in popularity after a slowed-down version of the song went viral on TikTok.[7]

2021: I Hope U See This

[edit | edit source]

In 2021, Thuy released four singles leading up to a nine-track debut EP, I Hope U See This (stylized in lowercase). The full project was released on October 29, 2021, on her birthday.[2] I Hope U See This was released with an accompanying music video, which Thuy co-directed herself. The music video portrays a younger version of Thuy, who is played by her real life cousin.

2022–present: Girls Like Me Don't Cry

After the release of I Hope U See This, Thuy released a deluxe version of the EP. In May 2022, she embarked on her first tour with four sold out dates.

In August 2022, she performed at Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco and Head in the Clouds in Pasadena, California.[8][9]

In the fall of 2022, Thuy released her second EP, Girls Like Me Don't Cry. The EP was supported with a sold out North American west coast tour.

In January 2023, it was announced that Thuy would perform at the 2023 Sol Blume Festival.[10] It was also announced that she was named as one of Vevo's DSCVR Artists to Watch 2023.[11]

From March through August 2023, Thuy served as the opening act on Ella Mai's Heart On My Sleeve Tour.[12] In March 2023, she made her debut in the Vietnamese music market by releasing a remix of "Girls Like Me Don't Cry" (the EP's title track) featuring Min.[13] In addition, "Girls Like Me Don't Cry" entered the Billboard Vietnam Hot 100 and peaked at number 9.

In April 2024, Thuy debuted at Coachella as the first Vietnamese-American female artist to ever play at the festival.[14] On October 21, 2024, she announced her 2025 Wings World Tour on Instagram after the release of her album Wings. [15]

Artistry

[edit | edit source]

Thuy grew up listening to R&B and pop from the early 1990s and 2000s and cites her early musical inspirations as Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Tamia, Christina Aguilera.[2] She has been described by Paper as having a "signature, nostalgic sound — catchy R&B melodies, agile runs and dreamlike soundscapes".[16] Thuy has expressed admiration for contemporaries such as Kehlani and Keshi.

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Thuy currently lives in Los Angeles. She has a boyfriend named Charlie who is also a musician, with whom she co-writes songs.[17] She has a dog named Oliver.[17]
