Biography
Her real name is Trần Thị Minh Tuyết, which in English literally means "Morning Snow". She was born on 15 October 1976 in a family of four sisters and two brothers, Minh Tuyết had a passion for music early in her childhood. She started to perform in public when little. Her father is a music enthusiast who also wrote his own songs primarily as a hobby. Two of Minh Tuyết's elder sisters are singers Cẩm Ly and Hà Phương.
Minh Tuyết started her professional career at the age of 17 when she first appeared on the music stage at Trống Đồng in Ho Chi Minh City. With a strong passion for singing, Minh Tuyết was determined to follow her sister Cẩm 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 the public eye, but they later gave permission.
Minh Tuyết signed a music contract with Tình Music and featured her first video with the company series number 3. Her first song, "Em Vẫn Đợi Anh", drew more attention with the Vietnamese audience. In many years with Tinh Music, Minh Tuyết released numerous hits from Lang Thang, Quán Vắng Một Mình, Bờ Bến Lạ, Mãi Là Người Đến Sau, etc. Despite her success, the company decided to release a solo video containing the only voice of Minh Tuyết with "Về Cuối Đường Tình" in DVD, VHS, and CD formats.
In mid-2002, Minh Tuyết was touring with host of ''Paris by Night''
