Vietnamese Australian Bui Vu Thanh, or Thanh Bui – one of the top eight Australian Idols will perform at the third Hennessy concert, to be held in Hanoi on June 16.

According to the Vietnam Performing Arts Centre under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on June 7, the event will also see the presence of R&B singer Alexandra Burke from the United Kingdom and rocker-songwriter David Cook – American Idol 2008.

Born in 1983 in the Adelaide city, South Australia, Thanh Bui showed off his talent in singing, playing piano and dancing at the age of ten. As a computer science graduate, he chose to pursue his singing career due to great passion for music.

In the mid of 2000-2009, Bui was a member of the North band, who continued to make many hits across Asia. He rose to fame after he was ranked among top eight of Australian Idols in 2008.

Bui returned to Vietnam several times to hold music shows, especially a concert with pianist Nguyen Van Anh to raise charity fund, as well as to help contestants in the Vietnam Idol programme./.
