Xuan Mai
If mentioning the most successful child singer in Vietnamese music history, Xuan Mai is almost the first name to be remembered.
Born in 1995 into an artistic family with her father being singer Tuan Canh and her mother being guitarist Thu Thu, Xuan Mai stepped onto the stage at the age of 2. In just a few years, she became a phenomenon with a series of children's albums such as "Con co be be", "Cau yeu ba", "Tap dem".... More than 30 solo and joint albums helped Xuan Mai become one of the child artists selling the most tapes and discs in the late 1990s.
Not only releasing albums, Xuan Mai also held liveshows with thousands of audiences when she was only 5 years old - a rare thing for a child singer at that time.
At the age of 9, after her parents divorced, she followed her mother to the United States to settle down. Although occasionally returning to Vietnam to perform, Xuan Mai almost left the entertainment industry. In 2015, she got married, is currently a mother of three children and lives in Ohio (USA).
In July 2026, Xuan Mai surprised when confirming her return to music after more than 20 years with the song "Does anyone care about me?", in collaboration with Xuan Nghi. The female singer said she always misses the stage but once did not know where to start again. She sees this as the "first shot" opening a new journey and hopes that the audience will receive the image of mature Xuan Mai, instead of just remembering "baby Xuan Mai" from years ago.
Baby Chau
If Xuan Mai dominated the children's music market, then Be Chau (Nguyen Huy) was once a performance phenomenon.
From the age of about 3, Be Chau has been famous for her singing, dancing and stage presence. In the early 2000s, Be Chau continuously appeared in major music programs, considered one of the most sought-after child singers.
However, when he grew up, the male singer went through many upheavals. Family encountered financial difficulties, relatives passed away, and artistic work stagnated, causing him to do many jobs to earn a living. He once publicly suffered from depression and pressure because he could not maintain the aura of a prodigy.
In recent years, he has gradually returned to music, participating in many television programs and sharing more openly about his journey through the crisis.
Xuan Nghi
As a familiar face to the 8X and 9X generations, Xuan Nghi made her mark through a series of children's albums, and was also assessed as having the ability to compose and play musical instruments from a young age.
Not choosing to continue the image of a child singer, Xuan Nghi went to the US to study music, pursuing a career in production and composing.
In 2026, the female singer became the focus when she and Xuan Mai implemented the project "Does anyone care about me?", marking the reunion of two famous prodigies of a time. In the same year, she also held an engagement ceremony with her long-time boyfriend, entering a new phase in life.
Bao An
After Xuan Mai and Xuan Nghi, Bao An is considered a typical face of the young singer generation of YouTube.
Starting to become famous from about 3 years old, she owns many children's MVs that reach tens to hundreds of millions of views, becoming a familiar name to young audiences.
Unlike many previous prodigies, Bao An has a fairly stable journey. When she grew up, she gradually reduced her products for children to aim for the image of a young singer, while continuing to learn and choose to appear selectively.
