 Thanh Bui - Founder/director "Listen to your heart," Thanh Bui says when asked what advice he'd give a young artist starting out. "Don't be afraid to dream, you can do anything. And don't be afraid to break stereotypes." Thanh knows all about that. In 2008, he became the first Australian of Vietnamese background to reach the Top 10 on Australian Idol. But Idol is just one part of the Thanh Bui story. He's already spent a lifetime in music. Thanh found fame in Asia in the Australian group North, who released two albums - 2004's self-titled set (on Universal) and 2006's Straight Up (on EMI). They had three number one hits in Thailand and Indonesia, and two chart-toppers in Malaysia. North toured Asia twice, and also did the Commonwealth Games song I Am Strong. Thanh and his North band mate Alfred Tuohey formed the production company Yin Yang Productions. They have been working with Dean Geyer and Paulini, written songs for chart-topping albums in Japan and Korea - and Thanh recently received his first gold album from Germany after working with teen sensation Jimi Blue. Thanh is currently working on his debut album with a number of high-profile LA producers/writers, scheduled for release early next year. As a vocal coach, he has taught/consulted for students such as Mark Spano (Australian Idol Top 5), Mike Snell (Wicked, Miss Saigon), Sam Gaskin (Jungle Book), Kate Lister (Grease), with a number of his students gaining success both locally and internationally. Thanh's vision brings a contemporary, up-to-date understanding of the current music environment and strongly believes that to increase the chances of success in the music business, being multi-skilled is vital. "If you look at successful Australian artists like Delta Goodrem, Shannon Noll, Guy Sebastien, and internationally-acclaimed artists such Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, they are not only great singers, but can play an instrument and are talented songwriters -at IAA, our vision is to develop ARTISTS, not just singers." "We aim to cater to each individual - you may want to be the next Australian Idol, hit song-writer, or just take up an instrument as a hobby - we will make sure that your goals will be achieved." Thanh is extremely passionate about giving each individual an opportunity to explore music as it is a language without barrier or prejudice. Together with a dynamic team of fine musicians, Thanh is building a strong Australian network of artists/songwriters to be able to compete with the world's best. Songs: Gravity Kamikaze Love Broken I'm Forbidden Heart Beat Happy Birthday Instruments/Skills: Guitar Piano Vocals note: i think there is more but cannot remember off the top of my head x.x Achievements Yin Yang Productions releases Pre 2007: 5 number one hits and multiple top 10 hits in 7 countries throughout Asia with "North" through Universal and EMI Asia.

Thúy Nga has been often ranked the number one recording studio and music production in the overseas Vietnamese music world. Today, virtually every Vietnamese person, both overseas and domestic, have watched, seen, or heard of Thúy Nga and its Paris by Night series. Thúy Nga Productions has been the symbol of the success the overseas Vietnamese have achieved since the events in their country in 1975 that led to their diaspora. comment:i'm sure he has more videos..will be added as soon as i find them *out of breath* Websites: Thanh Bui Music International Artist Academy Thanh Bui Alliance Official Thanh Bui Myspace Pictures:      -------------------- |

Technically, should he be allowed on a show like idol? Then again, a lot of the contestants now, if not all that make it through have professional backgrounds =/
I did like him last year though. -------------------- the soompier formerly known as Rai-Rai
