However, the path to fame is often fraught with challenges, as seen in the recent public dispute between singer Sofia and music company Superbrothers, led by musician Chau Dang Khoa.

Sofia took to social media to air her grievances, accusing Superbrothers of stifling her career and hindering her future in the music industry. She claimed that the company’s actions were making it difficult for her to perform, particularly citing instances where her manager allegedly disrupted her show bookings in Australia.

Sofia also highlighted issues related to financial transparency, alleging that she had never been allowed to see her contract during her three-year tenure with the company.

In response, Chau Dang Khoa and Superbrothers accused Sofia of violating her contract by secretly commissioning songs from other composers and accepting unauthorized performance gigs. They also questioned her financial dealings, suggesting she had been dishonest about her expenses.

This is not the first time Chau Dang Khoa has been embroiled in controversy. Similar disputes have occurred with other artists under his management, such as Lyly and Orange, who both left the company under strained circumstances.

The legal and public battles between artists and their management companies have become a common narrative in Vietnam’s music industry. Artists like Miko Lan Trinh, Jack, and Erik have all faced similar challenges, often leading to contract terminations and legal disputes.

The root of these conflicts frequently lies in financial disagreements, with artists accusing management of lacking transparency and fairness in revenue sharing.

As the industry continues to grow, these disputes highlight the need for clearer contracts and better communication between artists and their management.

The stories of Sofia, Orange, Lyly, and others serve as a cautionary tale for aspiring artists about the complexities of the entertainment industry and the importance of protecting their rights.
