Q: What is the unexpected joy you have when cooperating with Snoop Dogg?
For me, the most joyful moment is when
Snoop Dogg’s representative sent a message saying that:
"Send us the song, we would like to listen, to see whether it matches Snoop Dogg’s style or not".
And when I received that reply from them
it’s the sign that I have the chance
of making my dream comes true.
I was so happy when I sent the song to Snoop Dogg’ representative.
and received the reply after a few days.
They said Snoop Dogg really likes this song and wants to feature with me in the song too.
At that moment, I just can say
oh my god *laugh*
nothing can describe my feelings at that time.
Even though we haven’t met yet and there are lots of steps ahead I have to conquer,
that moment itself made me super happy already.
Extremely happy.
And I continue to keep this secret till the last second.
Q: What are the criteria you think that would make international stars agree to cooperate with you?
When you want to feature someone in your song,
I think there are two criteria.
First of all, who are you?
What is your name? What are your songs?
How is your profile?
Whether it’s good enough
for someone like me to be featuring in your song or not.
Secondly, what is the style of your song? Is it really suitable to my style?
And if you think you can fulfill all those criteria and I can agree with those too
then ok, welcome.
Maybe your music is good
but sorry, I don’t know who you are.
I have my standard.
That’s the truth. Although the truth sometimes hurts, we still need to accept that, it’s the life.
Q: How did Snoop Dogg comment about  the song  “ Hay trao cho anh”?
When Snoop Dogg stood in front of me,
“Big idol” is not just figurative meaning anymore, it’s also literal meaning
cause he’s so tall, big, huge while me…omg why am I so little like this?
Only standing beside him made me scared and stunned.
But when we shook hands, I feel like he’s very friendly.
Snoop Dogg said to me one thing that I can’t never forget:
“I really like the song, bro”.
When I heard that thing and I also said
“ Hey, I want to share that you are…”
Actually, with Snoop Dogg’ s age, in Vietnam, I have to call him in different pronouns like uncle or something,
but when I translate “you” and “I” in English,
I always want to call more experienced people brothers
because there’s no boundary in art,
and more important is how we use that pronoun with the appropriate tone and attitude.
So in here, I’m using it with all the respect to Snoop Dogg.
I translated it back, so I said
“ Snoop Dogg, you know what, you are one of the idols
that I respect and admire the most when I was a kid till now”.
After that, Snoop Dogg just gave me the second handshakes
and said “oh man, I’m really appreciate man”.
And Snoop said to me “Hey, do the English version for this song too,
bet the song will be liked by many people if it’s in English”.
