My Tam (Phan Thị Mỹ Tâm) is a famous Vietnamese pop singer. She was born in the Da Nang city in 1981 and studied vocal music at Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory.
In 2003, her third album Yesterday and Now proved to be the most successful album of her career and possibly for any Vietnamese artist. The album included the hit singles Wish and My Everlasting Love and sold 1 million copies.
In addition to her native country of Vietnam, My Tam has achieved a solid fan base in South Korea and has produced some of her recordings in Seoul. Although she's most known for pop ballads, she has also experimented with R&B and Hip-hop influenced songs.
My Tam has also used her celebrity to help others, establishing her charity organization, the My Tam Foundation, which provides scholarships to disadvantaged students in her hometown of Da Nang. If you'd like to hear some of her music, check out her MySpace page.
