Theme: BREAKTHROUGH: Escape from prison of mind

The pandemic makes people look back on their own lives, especially US - the young generation with grand ambitions and responsibilities. In the past, people always had to face unfounded standards and prejudices, thereby shrinking themselves into their shells. Aware of this issue, TEDx HCMUS wishes to raise its voice in the new era, spread optimistic messages to the community, and bring new perspectives to build new definitions suitable for the community ideal for modern society.

“The question is not what you look at, but what you see.”

Long Nguyen Hoang

Artist

Referring to Vietnamese music in general, and Vietnamese Rap Hip-hop music in particular, surely music lovers cannot ignore the name "Low G". Starting from a famous dancer in the Last Fire Crew dance group, Low G fell in love with Rap Hip-hop and attracted the love of many people because of his unique voice, creative flow, and unique skills. The song has many colours and different themes but still has its own substance. Low G's creativity actually begins with spiritual values in music and materials that are close to the surrounding life. As the cultural characteristics of those ingredients have strongly inspired Low G in his career development path. With his current accomplishments, TEDx HCMUS believes that Low G will be able to guide young people in how music has shaped and inspired people.
