I'd known Vu Cat Tuong from "Dong," but I've finally labeled myself an FM since she released her song "Leader." It's been almost three years. I'm so proud to be a part of her fandom. Being a fan, I'm not only into her songs but also learn so many lessons from Tuong. She is one of my biggest motivations in music. I'm going to tell you five things I've learned from her. Those are changing my life every single day.
1, Be her true self
Tuong always says that "If you want to know more about Vu Cat Tuong, just listen to my songs, I show my true self in them, and I never lie to my emotion". These words touch me deeply. I think living our true selves is the best thing ever. For me, I always try to be honest with myself and write my own stories.
2, Put her heart into what she loves
Tuong is wildly in love with music. We all know that. Tuong is a talented singer-songwriter. When she plays her piano, the way she smiles when she talks about music, etc, I see her sunshine and her heart put into it. She spreads her love of music to people. Because of her pure love, she always goes all in her creative journey. I follow her lesson in my journey, just let my heart guide me, and immerse myself in what I love.

3, Step out of her comfort zone and test her boundaries
I love how she always puts herself out of her "safe zone" and "falls into the unknown" to test her limits. She's learned rap, tried new genres, sung in English, etc. As you see, she constantly upgrades herself.
4, Focus on the core value and follow her calling
Tuong always focuses on music. I think Tuong always knows that music is her core value. That's why she produces her songs, creates her albums, and does her concerts. I'm a massive fan of music, and I sincerely know that albums and concerts are the core value of a musical artist.
I used to question why her songs don't get more views so many times. But now, I have stopped asking this question. I want to say, "I don't care," because I know she is following her calling. Each person has their strengths, Tuong might not focus on making a million views of music videos, but she is excellent at live music. Just follow her calling. We know her value and support her as a true fan.
For me, I live my own life, do what I want to do, and follow my inner voice, because I know that I'm the person who understands myself the most. Just listen to my own calling and let it leads my way.
5, Tuong is so good at English
The moment when I heard "The old you," I knew that Tuong tried her best to deliver her feelings in English. She sings so well in English. Moreover, Tuong works with many talented foreign producers to learn new things about music. English is a tool to help Tuong take her step into the contemporary music world. Watching Tuong has improved her English inspires me to learn English too. I sincerely know that I must be better at English to get a higher level in my career.
