Among the 24 artists participating in Tinh Ha Say Hi, Bui Truong Linh and Captain Boy (Hoang Duc Duy) are known to have good academic achievements.
Bui Truong Linh was born in 1999 in Hanoi. He early showed musical talent and started learning violin from a young age. When he was only 8 years old, Bui Truong Linh passed the entrance exam to the Vietnam National Academy of Music.
He studied and trained here for 8 years before studying at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, majoring in Vocal Music.
The long-term training foundation became an important part of Bui Truong Linh's musical path. He graduated valedictorian from the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, majoring in Violin and Pop.
Bui Truong Linh works simultaneously as a singer, musician and often composes his own songs. In 2020, he became widely known to the public with "Duong toi ve em ve", reaching more than 60 million views on YouTube.
The series of songs "Dù cho mai về sau", "Yêu người có ước mơ" or "Từng ngày yêu em" caused a stir, helping the male singer receive a lot of attention.
Bui Truong Linh's style leans towards pop ballad, with love stories, youth and confessional emotions. His strengths lie not only in his voice but also in his composing ability, understanding of music theory and playing musical instruments for many years.
Besides love songs, Bui Truong Linh also expanded his composition to community-oriented themes. "Prosperity of Vietnam Shines" is one of the most notable works. The song is performed at many major events, including art programs celebrating the 80th National Day.
In 2025, Bui Truong Linh participated in "Anh Trai Say Hi" season 2 and won the runner-up position. In April 2026, the male singer held his first personal concert called "Every Day", celebrating 10 years in the profession.
If Bui Truong Linh attracted attention with his graduation achievement, Captain Boy achieved the valedictorian of the entrance exam to the Vocal Department, Thang Long University.
Captain Boy's real name is Hoang Duc Duy, born in 2003 in Hoa Binh (now Phu Tho province). Before being known under the stage name Captain Boy and participating in Hello Brother, he appeared as a "child voice" at "The Voice Kids Vietnam" in 2015.
Captain Boy once participated in Rap Viet, but did not achieve outstanding results. In Anh trai say hi, his ability to sing, rap, compose and play musical instruments helped him make a clearer impression.
After participating in many music programs, he continuously introduced personal products such as "Well, then goodbye", "Whoever grows up must" or "If only I".
