20-year-old student Yen Chi will represent Vietnam at the grand finals round of the contest “Like performing, love Sony” which will be held in Singapore on December 3.
The competition is part of the music festival called “Uphoria - Party with Sony” held by the Japanese multinational media corporation Sony for South East Asian fans of music from December 2 to 4.
The competition also attracts contestants from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
