Biography
Lâm Lê Quỳnh Như (born 9 September 1970 in Quảng Trị), better known professionally as Như Quỳnh, is a Vietnamese-American contemporary folk and bolero singer. Winner of the inaugural 1991 Ho Chi Minh City Television Singing Contest, she first gained recognition through cassette recordings and broadcast in Vietnam. In 1994, she immigrated to Pennsylvania, where she produced her debut album, “Chuyện Hoa Sim” [Story of the Rose Myrtle] under Asia Entertainment Inc. With a strong mezzo-soprano voice, diverse performance repertoire and stage presence, she quickly rose to prominence as a darling of the local Vietnamese diaspora and one of its highest-grossing live music artists. In 1996, she signed with Thuý Nga Productions and became a regular star of the famed “Paris by Night series”. By early 2000s, she was among the most popular Vietnamese-American artists in the music industry, and the distribution of CDs had slowly brought her a significant popularity in Vietnam. In 2018, she began regularly returning to Vietnam for performances and attending talent shows as a judge. She also created her own record label, NQ Entertainment. She is one of few Vietnamese stars with her own record label with more than 25 solo, duets and compilation album releases spanning her entire music career.
