Doãn Hoài Nam (Vietnam)

Doãn Hoài Nam is a Hanoi-based composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose music explores emotion through simplicity and nuance. Trained in classical guitar but inspired by the freedom of contemporary genres, he moves fluidly between acoustic ballads, experimental arrangements, and modern Vietnamese pop. His debut album Mong Mo và Lãng Quên (Dreams and Oblivion) reflects his fascination with memory and introspection, offering what he calls “emotional files,” snapshots of life’s quiet, unguarded moments

Featured Song:

In “Hoa” (Flower), Nam paints a delicate portrait of impermanence and renewal. Sung with tender grace by Mac Mai Suong, the song follows a young woman walking through the morning mist, “The sky is bright, the streets are empty / The water reflects the land and sky.” As she moves through nature, she identifies with the fragile beauty of a red flower and the cycle of life it represents. “She listens to the gentle words / Not knowing tomorrow will bring decay.” Both wistful and serene, “Hoa” captures the quiet poetry of Vietnam’s landscape and the fleeting, tender moments that define human emotion
