Ho Hoang Yen

Ho Hoang Yen (1976-    ) is a beautiful overseas Vietnamese singer that has been long associated with Asia Entertainment.

From early childhood, Ho Hoang Yen had developed a keen interest in music.  At the age of 5, she appeared on national television in Vietnam singing on a children's music program.  Ten years later, Ho Hoang Yen at age 15 enrolled in several courses at the prestigious Quoc Gia Âm Nhac (Saigon Conservatory of Music) to hone her craft in singing.  At age 20, Ho Hoang Yen became a professional singer.  In the circuit of cabarets and nightclubs in Ho Chi Minh City, she had acquired a following of loyal patrons who were in awe of her striking physical beauty, stage presence and angelic singing voice.  Ho Hoang Yen performed nightly at various major venues around downtown Ho Chi Minh City including Lido, Cadillac, Queen Bee and Liberty.


In 2001, Ho Hoang Yen and her family resettled in the United States.  For the first five years, they lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during which she had put her singing career on hold.  In 2006, songwriter Dieu Huong, who had been a longtime admirer of Ho Hoang Yen's voice, approached her to record one of her songs, Hỏi Tình, for an upcoming compilation album entitled as Cho Dòng Sông Cuốn Trôi.  That recording would spark the attention of Thy Van and Truc Ho at Asia Entertainment.  Two years later, Ho Hoang Yen made her debut music video appearance for Asia Entertainment on volume 58 paired with singer Quoc Khanh for a duet medley of Đêm Cuối Cùng written by Pham Dinh Chuong and Một Chuyến Bay Đêm written by Song Ngoc and Hoai Linh.  Ho Hoang Yen has since appeared in a total of 16 volumes of the Asia Entertainment live show video series.  She has recorded many duets and ensembles for Asia Entertainment teamed up with other artists such as Bang Tam, Nguyen Hong Nhung, Le Anh Quan, Y Phung, Dan Nguyen, My Huyen, Diem Lien, Nhat Truong and Phuong Hong Que.  Among her most popular solo performances for Asia Entertainment include Bài Tango Riêng Cho Em written by Hoang Nguyen, Bao Giờ Biết Tương Tư written by Pham Duy, Buồn written by Y Van, Buồn Trong Kỷ Niệm written by Truc Phuong and Như Giọt Sầu Rơi written by Anh Viet Thu.  Ho Hoang Yen has recorded two solo studio albums for Asia Entertainment, Bão Tình (2010) and Tình Lỡ (2012).  She has performed at live shows for overseas Vietnamese audiences all over the United States, Canada, Australia and Europe.
