Nguyễn Thanh Tùng (born July 5, 1994), known professionally as Sơn Tùng M-TP , is a Vietnamese singer-songwriter and actor. His self-written 2012 and 2013 singles, "Cơn mưa ngang qua" and "Em của ngày hôm qua" launched his career. These were followed by successful singles, "Chắc ai đó sẽ về" and "Chúng ta không thuộc về nhau". In 2017, he had a more-favorable public reception for "Lạc trôi" and "Nơi này có anh" after branching away from his previous company. That year, Tùng also released the compilation album m-tp M-TP and published his autobiography, Chạm tới giấc mơ.
At age eight, he joined Thái Bình's Children's Arts and Culture Palace and learned to play the electronic keyboard. Tùng's mother plays guitar, and her husband plays seven instruments. However, they disapproved of their son's pursuit of a singing career and wanted him to focus on education; his father wanted him to study business in college. Despite this, Tùng frequently participated in singing shows and competitions at school.
