Trinh Nam Son is an outstanding Vietnamese singer-composer in the Vietnamese community. Though starting late for a music career (this was how people used to tell him), he did not see age as an obstacle with his goal. He began studying composition in his late twenties at the Dick Grove School Of Music. After this time and thereafter, his fresh musical approach has created a new horizon for the new generation of Vietnamese youth and the Vietnamese community as a whole (as he was told after he became well known).
