My Tam boasts a three-octave vocal range and has been praised for her capability to sing live while still performing complex dance moves. 
Having almost gone to the Military School of Art in Hanoi, lady luck diverted her to the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory where she studied vocal training, the website also stressed.

She is a mezzo-soprano with a deep, powerful and clear voice that fits her into a variety of genres, including pop, dance and rock.
In her live shows and concert tours, she sings 20-30 songs, and maintains a strong and passionate voice.
Her best-known songs are "Hoạ Mi Tóc Nâu" (Brown-Haired Nightingale) and "Ước Gì" (I Wish).
Other notable songs include "Hát Với Dòng Sông" (Singing with the River), "Giấc mơ Tình Yêu" (Dream of love), "Dường như ta đã" (We Seemed to Be...), "Tóc Nâu Môi Trầm" (Brown Hair, Dark Lips), "Tình Xót Xa Thôi" (Bitter love), "Đường Xưa" (Old Road) and "Yêu Dại Khờ" (Foolish Love).
Besides, My Tam established the My Tam (MT) Foundation, a charity that operates on contributions from MT Entertainment, her fans, and others on 4 April 2008.

The project builds houses for the poor, and also provides scholarships with students from disadvantaged background.
