I just found another singer of Vietnamese descent in non-Vietnamese language music in Western entertainment. His name is Johnny Huynh.​
The Youtube channel description of Johnny Huynh :
Johnny Huynh doesn’t just sing—he connects. The Seattle-born Vietnamese-American vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer taps into raw, universal emotions with every lyric and note. Raised in Bothell, WA, he began classical piano at 4, later shifting to jazz and winning soloist awards as a “band geek” in high school. In college, he turned heartbreak into healing through social media, going viral with an emotional cover of d4vd’s “Romantic Homicide.” That moment sparked a wave of viral content and original songs that have drawn a massive audience—7.8 million on TikTok and 3.6 million on Instagram. With a sound that blends indie, R&B, and soul, Johnny crafts deeply vulnerable music that resonates with millions. His emotional honesty, musical versatility, and intimate delivery have made him one of the most compelling new voices in digital music today.​
