VietNamNet Bridge – A 24-year-old blind man from the central province of Quang Binh surprised the jury of the Vietnam’s Got Talent 2012, for playing two foreign songs “Baby” and “Beautiful Girls” by six musical instruments.
Nguyen Thanh Binh said he had planed to play the two songs by 15 musical instruments but he brought only 12 musical instruments with him to the show and finally he used only six of them, including: bamboo flute, Vietnamese two-chord guitar, dan ken, guitar and harmonica.

Binh said he wanted to surprise the audience in the next rounds, so in the first round he only used six musical instruments.

Binh left his home in Quang Binh when he was nine years old to study at Nguyen Dinh Chieu School for Blind Students in Hanoi.
At school, Binh was taught massage, point acupuncture and playing music. The boy then decided to focus on music.

He studied Vietnamese two-chord fiddle and then guitar at the Vietnam National Musical Institute. He played piano at some restaurants to earn money.

Binh recently quit studying at the Vietnam National Musical Institute to focus on recording. The talented man is cooperating with many singers like Van Mai Huong, Hoang Nghiep, Khac Viet, Le Hieu, My Linh and song writers Duc Tri and Ho Hoai Anh.

In 2010, he won a prize of the Vietnamese Song competition with a song entitled “Dreams.”

In the next round of Vietnam’s Got Talent, Binh will sing an English song while playing music by many musical instruments.
