Quốc Trung
Nguyễn Quốc Trung, commonly known as Quoc Trung, is a Vietnamese composer, producer, and musician who has shaped modern Vietnamese music since 1983. A graduate of the Vietnam National Academy of Music, he blends traditional Vietnamese instruments such as Dan Bau, Dan Tranh, and Dan Co with electronic and pop sounds.
He founded Thanh Viet Production and launched the Monsoon Music Festival, a major three‑day event featuring both Vietnamese and international artists. Trung has written music for commercials, films, and ads (including Sony and Vietnam Airlines) and has collaborated with many artists, such as Thanh Lam, Tran Thu Ha, Nguyen Le, Dhafer Youssef, Rhani Krija, My Linh, Uyen Linh, and Suboi. He co‑created The Roots, a cross‑cultural project with French‑Vietnamese guitarist Nguyen Le; its kickoff concert in 2012 was at the Hanoi Opera House.
Trung appeared as a coach on The Voice of Vietnam (Season 2) and was on Vietnam Idol (Season 3 in 2010). In 2011 he founded Thanh Viet Production, a label and live‑production company, and produced Uyen Linh’s debut album Giấc Mơ Tôi in 2011. He is known for merging traditional Vietnamese sounds with modern technology and for promoting intellectual property rights in Vietnam, especially online music distribution.
He is the son of Nguyễn Thanh Nga and Nguyễn Trung Kiên and has two children, Nguyễn Thiện Thanh and Nguyễn Đăng Quang.
