Victor Huynh composes and plays music as a hobby. He currently works in regulatory and compliance for a pharmaceutical company during the day. At night, he composes songs to keep his artistic ability alive. At a very young age, Victor has always been attracted to the art and music. Victor taught himself basic guitar chords at the age of 10. Eventually, he could play simple classical guitar at the age of 12. However, he was told to focus on math and science because long hair guys playing guitars didn't get to make much money. They all seemed to hang out at the corner coffee shop with their guitars without any "real" jobs! At the age of 14, Victor tried to enroll into a piano class but was told that his age was too old to learn piano.
Victor bought a Casio keyboard right after college and started learning piano through books and perseverance. After a few years, Victor was finally able to play the piano, though, he still neither reads nor writes music very well.
In 2005, Victor got a Yamaha and he immediately fell in love with it. He started composing and recording songs late at night so that he could fulfill his life-long dream. Growing in up in the 80s, Victor loves all kinds of music except hip-hop. On the lighter side, he particularly enjoys Yanni, David Lanz, Richard Clayderman, Andre Rieu, Mozart, Beethoven, and Rossini. His favorite composers are Richard Nanes and Yiruma. He also likes French, Latin, and Vietnamese romantic melodies.
Victor has completed six albums which he basically gave away to his friends and secret admirers. He posted his albums on musicfreedom.com and amazon.com for lovers of relaxing music. Since Victor does not seek to make money from his works, he donates all proceeds received to charities.
Summer Rain is his latest album which he started in late 2007. Victor completed the 12th piece, April Snow, just recently. The song, adapted from a Korean movie, was a dedication to Victor's dearest friend and secret admirer. The project was inspired by a movie trailer posted on You Tube™. Most of the pieces in Summer Rain are ballad and meditative. Some pieces took a week while others took months to complete. Victor plays all the instruments since he does not know how to use music software to edit songs.
Victor is currently working on his seventh album, Winter Hearts, for 2009. He hopes you enjoy his works.
