A Vietnamese American performer, composer, and educator, Mỹ Tâm's work is rooted in preserving stories, traditions, and culture while making them accessible to new and broader audiences — a passion that aligns beautifully with our mission.

Her artistry has earned her wide recognition, including the 2025 Van Lier Artist of Exceptional Merit Award, the ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Award and Phoebe Jacobs Prize, and back-to-back semifinalist honors in the Next Jazz Legacy program. She holds degrees from Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance and the Manhattan School of Music, where she also serves on faculty in the Jazz Arts program.
