Dang Duong: “I don’t feel discouraged because my economic conditions are poor compared to my colleagues”

Only a few days left for the live show “The Fatherland Calls My Name” – the live show marking your 30 years of singing. Are you ready for the live show now?

– I look forward to coming to my live show every day. I’ve been waiting for this live show for 5-6 years now. My spirit is very high and now I’m just waiting for the audience to support me and I’m very ready.

As an artist, I always desire to sing songs praising the Fatherland on any stage. This year, I am no longer young I have to give it my all so I don’t have any regrets later. At first, I was quite hesitant, but my wife was the one who urged me to continue doing the show.

She said: “Go ahead and do it, it’s risky.” I accept any economic risk as long as you can flourish doing what you are passionate about, bringing your singing to the audience. If I am the fire, then my wife is the never-ending fuel to fully and forever fuel my professional passions. That’s one of the things I’m always grateful to her for.”

Many singers know very well Catching trends to serve the market, they are not afraid to innovate, so when doing live shows, they will choose new songs, even hot youth music, to attract the audience. You have always been loyal to red music, so what surprises do you plan to create for the audience when you come to your live show when these songs are so familiar?

– Music genre Revolution is a line of political praise. I am a tenor specializing in lead songs and am always consistent with my choice. I believe that when people come to the music night, they love this music and admire Dang Duong’s voice.

I can affirm that I am an artist who lives cleanly even in art. art and personal life. I don’t choose tricks. However, I will also bring to the audience many other perspectives of Dang Duong, for example, maybe I will play the monochord myself.

When I was 13 years old, I went to Hanoi to study music. His voice had not yet broken, so he was allowed to learn the monochord from Ms. Thanh Tam. I am grateful for the time I spent learning traditional musical instruments because the melodious sound of the bass, very Vietnamese and very ethnic, helped me feel more deeply music Vietnam. It is related to the music I will choose later.

Besides, I also have a new combination with young people like Dao To Loan Vo Ha Tram OPlus. Dao To Loan is a leading chamber singer and the two brothers have dueted very well many times. Vo Ha Tram possesses a colorful and intelligent voice and once stood on the same stage as me. As for OPlus, it is the first time that I have collaborated with these enthusiastic, civilized young men.

In addition, Music Director Duong Cam is a talented young musician with a passion for his profession. brings new breath but still retains the soul of the songs that come with the years. My music in “The Fatherland Calls My Name” will be filled with a youthful, colorful atmosphere, which is definitely something new and interesting for Dang Duong’s music lovers.

Consummation in both love for music and for his co-wife Having worked for more than 20 years at the age of fifty, do you feel satisfied with your journey?

– At work, I am considered by my friends and colleagues to be standard and responsible. I’m meticulous and fastidious in music, but in life I’m not too perfectionist. I am simple in my way of living and thinking.

Currently I am satisfied with what I have: There is a wife who understands her husband and understands his work. The couple takes care of the children together and finds joy. even the smallest joys in life.

We share everything and don’t hide anything from each other. In the past, when my wife was still working at the Voice of Vietnam, when I went to perform alone and did anything, I would text her. Not reporting but sharing with each other. When she goes on a business trip, I often pay attention to the weather and tell her to stay healthy.

Later, my wife sacrificed her job to become my assistant. I have entered my fifties and my health is showing signs of deterioration, my eyes are starting to get worse, so wherever I go, my wife goes with me to take care of me. After 21 years of being together, we look into each other’s eyes and understand what each other wants to say. I feel happy and want to contribute more to music.

But a famous artist like him still lives in a simple apartment while many of his colleagues Living in a villa and driving a luxury car to open a restaurant… Don’t you and your husband feel a little sad?

– My family has no maid or private driver. At far-away performance venues, the husband drives his wife’s car next to him and travels through the night to get to the performance venue in the morning. Every artist will have their own struggles. I’m lucky to always have my wife by my side to encourage me.

Many people also ask me why Mr. Trong Tan has a restaurant, Mr. Viet Hoan has a homestay, and my husband and I still Are you willing to live in an apartment? Our conditions are just that and we are content with what we have.

Each person lives in his own way, choosing the quality of his life. There are artists who are very quick to redirect Kinh business but my husband and I don’t have an economic mind, so it’s best to just do what we’re strong at, which is singing.

With the brilliant success of the Liveshow “Sun “My” in 2017 brought Dang Duong’s name to a new level, so with “The Fatherland Calls Your Name” do you expect the same thing?

– I have never thought of doing a live show to achieve anything in terms of fame or economics, but the first and foremost thing is to contribute and satisfy my passion for the profession.

In 2017, My Sun was praised and loved by the press and audience, which is what I am proud of today and is the motivation for me to continue. continue to perform the Liveshow The Fatherland calls my name.
