Nguyễn Văn Tài (born 16 December 1959), stage name Tuấn Vũ, is a Vietnamese singer.

Biography

Tuấn Vũ was born in Bình Thuận Province, Vietnam.

He migrated to the US in 1979 and settled in San Francisco, California. He then followed a profession in singing and became a well-known name in the yellow music genre. To date, he has recorded over 1,400 songs of various genres.[1][2]

Poet Nguyên Sa gave Tuấn Vũ the title "Phượng Hoàng" ("Phoenix" in Vietnamese), which - as the singer explained - might be a reference to his father's name (Phượng) and the name of one of his adopted child (Hoàng).[3]

Tuấn Vũ returned to Vietnam for the first time in 2001.[4]

During his return to Vietnam in July 2010, Tuấn Vũ performed for 6 nights at Hanoi Opera House, Daewoo Hotel, as well as in many other northern provinces.[5]

In November 2018, Tuấn Vũ returned to Vietnam again to hold a live show named "Mười năm tái ngộ" (Ten years of reunion), which took place at the Vietnam National Convention Center on December 9.[6]
