Đen Vâu

Đen Vâu's family hometown is Hưng Yên; he began writing rap in secondary school and had no formal music training. In 2011 he co-wrote "Cây bàng" for the programme Bài hát Việt and won the audience choice award.

His breakthrough came with "Đưa nhau đi trốn" (2015), a success that allowed him to pursue music full time; it was followed by "Anh đếch cần gì nhiều ngoài em" (2018), "Hai triệu năm" and "Bài này chill phết" (2019). In 2019 he held Show của Đen in Ho Chi Minh City to mark ten years of making music, then continued with "Trốn tìm", "Mang tiền về cho mẹ" (2021), "Nấu ăn cho em" and a Show của Đen night in Hanoi (2023).

In 2023 he was honoured by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as an Artist for the Community and also received a Mai Vàng (Golden Apricot) award; in 2024 he won Male Singer of the Year at the Cống hiến Awards.

Babyface Entertainment, a Vietnam casting agency since 2009, helps brands, agencies and production houses book Đen Vâu for commercials, TVCs, key-visual shoots, events and KOL campaigns, working through the artist’s management to confirm availability and fees.

Đen Vâu was first recognised at the Zing Music Awards 2015 with the Favourite Rap/Hip-hop Song award for "Đưa nhau đi trốn", then became the first rapper to win Male Singer of the Year at Làn Sóng Xanh (Green Wave) 2019.
