Khanh Ha first
settled in San
Francisco when
she first
arrived to the
United States in
1975. She never
skipped a beat
when she
immediately
joined a local
Korean band and
performed at a
local Korean
club. Two years
later, she moved
to southern
California and
began singing
with the
Uptights. The
band made a name
for themselves
in the early
eighties while
performing
throughout the
U.S.
Khanh Ha's
career spans 25
years and many
continents. Her
staying power
can be
attributed to
her soulful
voice. Khanh Ha
is a very
technical
singer. She is
probably one of
a handful of
Vietnamese
singers with
such a wide
range and
ability for
tonal
manipulation.
Khanh Ha's
singing truly
captures the
heart of her
fans and leaves
them with the
impression that
the songs was
meant for them
and only them.
Although Khanh
Ha is well known
for her singing,
she is also an
accomplished
guitarist. One
of Khanh Ha's
all time
favorite song
happens to be
Cat Bui Tinh Xa.
Coincidentally,
this is also the
first Vietnamese
song she sang
after many years
of strictly
performing
non-Vietnamese
songs.
In recent years,
Khanh Ha has
branched out
into the
production
aspect of the
music industry.
She has been
producing her
own album and
music videos
under her own
label,
Khanh Ha
Productions.
Khanh Ha has
also released
several Karaoke
albums under
this label. |
