[EXCLUSIVE] Danny Chung: “For Vietnamese music to rise, don’t lose sight of its roots.”

After years of working behind songs that have travelled across languages and cultures, Danny Chung has come to understand that taking music global doesn’t necessarily begin with trying to sound more “international.” From working with LISA to weave elements of Thai culture into “SaWaDiKa,” to connecting with a new generation of Vietnamese artists through Tinh Hà “Say Hi” and “LAVIEM,” the songwriter, producer, and Head of Creation at THEBLACKSEA continues to return to one principle: understand the artist, understand where they come from, and let identity become the starting point for music to travel further.
