Otis’ bold breakthrough

In his performance of “Crazy” alongside team leader Bui Truong Linh, Mason Nguyen, and TEZ, Otis delivered a youthful, free-spirited, and thoroughly modern hip-hop act. Not only did he take on both the singing and melodic rap parts, but he also played the electric guitar live and pulled off an on-stage flip — creating an explosive moment rarely seen from a young artist newly venturing into the music scene.

 

The highlight of the performance was the powerful electric guitar solo, where each strum seemed to unleash years of pent-up energy and dedication. Once known for his gentle, emotional presence in heartfelt ballads or romantic roles, Otis revealed a completely different side of himself in “Crazy” — bold, fierce, and unafraid to take risks. He not only commanded the stage with confidence but also showed remarkable growth in emotional control and performance technique. Every glance, every spin, and every guitar riff radiated the aura of an artist truly burning with passion.

 

A 9-year journey of relentlessness

Otis, whose real name is Do Nhat Truong and was born in 1997, first made his mark through a series of hit FAPTV web dramas such as Chang Trai Cua Em (My Dearest), Thanh Xuan Ky (Youth Diary), and Friendzone. With his bright appearance and natural acting style, he quickly became a beloved face among young audiences.

Starting out as a “schoolboy heartthrob,” Otis gradually expanded his artistic journey, taking on diverse roles ranging from romantic youth characters to those with deeper emotional complexity. His ability to adapt and portray nuanced performances eventually earned him the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 22nd Vietnam Film Festival, a recognition of his continuous dedication and growth as an artist.

 

Beyond acting, Otis has long nurtured a deep passion for music. He studied songwriting, vocal training, and learned to play instruments, slowly developing his own unique musical identity. Although his early musical endeavors did not gain immediate attention, Otis remained patient and persistent — improving himself through each small project and live performance. For him, every step forward is a mark of growth on his artistic path.
