The competition drew over 1,000 participants from 25 countries, including the United States, Sweden, Canada, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, Malaysia, and Russia.

Born in 2002 in Hanoi, Minh Nhat currently studies at the Vietnam National Academy of Music under the guidance of People’s Artist Quoc Hung and vocal coach Huong Ly Sao Mai.

Known for her exceptional talent and dedication, she consistently achieves high academic scores, maintaining over 9 points in both core and specialized music subjects.

Huong Ly described Minh Nhat as a lyric soprano with a warm, versatile voice capable of delivering smooth melodies and embodying playful, charming characters in operatic roles.

"Minh Nhat’s strong musical intuition, diligence, and consistent practice have allowed her voice to improve remarkably over time," Huong Ly shared.

People’s Artist Quoc Hung recalled being impressed by Minh Nhat when she first approached him with her parents to pursue vocal training.

"It was unusual to see a Gen Z student so passionate about classical music and opera. She has been exploring operatic works and arias since she was a child," he noted.

The ZhongSin International Music Competition is a prestigious event jointly supported by the governments of China and Singapore, with backing from organizations such as UNESCO and the International Music Management Association.

Minh Nhat’s victory at this globally recognized competition not only highlights her immense talent but also brings pride to Vietnam on the international music stage.
