After finishing an intermediate course at the Vietnam Music Academy, he got his university degree and a master’s degree at the Royal Conservatory of Liege in 2013 and 2015, respectively.

In 2015, he was among the top five students selected from Liege Academy to join the Classic Academy contest held by Liege Symphony Orchestra.
He has also performed at many shows in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Japan, and joined the Masterclass along with noted pianists such as Dang Thai Son, Avedis Kouyoumdjian and Tibor Szasz.
