Before working with her husband, a composer and instrumentalist, Thao was a popstar in HCM City with strong voice and pretty appearance.    

Her hit, Ai Cho Em Tinh Yeu (Who Gives Me Love), composed by Le in 1990,established the beginning of their partnership.

The couple’s first album, Ca Phe Mot Minh (Alone at the Coffee Shop),was a hit phenomenon in the industry.

All songs of the album, composed by Le and sung by Thao, became big hits.

Highlighted songs such as Xe Dap Oi (Dear Bicycle), Xa Roi Tuoi Tho (Far-off Childhood) and Con Gai (Girl), are still fresh today.

Their second album, Ru Cho Em Va Con (Lulling You and Children toSleep), features songs about love and family issues.

The album’s most popular song, Ba Ngon Nen Lung Linh (Three GlisteningCandles), helped the couple become known as the most successful duo inVietnamese music.

In 2005, they moved to live in the US after Thao found her American father, whohad once worked for the US military in Sa Dec in Dong Thap province in 1967 and1968.
