Viva Hein: Myanmar singer performs 20 shows per month

February 26th, 2010

Myanmar traditional song singer Viva Hein became so popular through her album “Byo-hit-than” especially in upper Myanmar. In Yangon, she is renowned for her copy version of Tokyo Drift. You might wonder why a traditional song singer would sing that kind of song.

Well, maybe that’s what makes her popular enough to perform 20 shows a month.And her dancing skill, that’s another reason for her popularity. She said she learnt dance from J-Lo, Britney and Shakira. (By watching their music videos of course.)

Now, her second album is in process to release. So let’s wait and see if that album could make her perform 30 shows a month.

You might not know Pan Ei Phyu who is pretty and skillful singer, actress and music producer if you are not a traditional music crazy but she’s the sweetheart of Myanmar traditional music lovers and.

And we obtained that she’s also good at doing business like to promote her own VCD. She said “I bring the VCDs of my album whenever I go on a tour and sell them before the show starts. And while I’m singing my colleagues sell the VCDs at the backstage.”

The VCD of her album “ Linkar-Dipa-Ashin-Thu-Lo-Lu” was released on last December 4, 2009 and it reaches almost everywhere in Upper Myanmar within 2months. Impressive right? That’s why we said_ “She sings, she produces and she sells!”
(Moral of the post:If you wanna be a successful singer, you’d better learn how to sell VCDs of your album. :)
