Myra Trần Minh Như American Idol Performs at Muckleshoot Casino Seattle
When Myra Tran sings on command…she makes it look effortless.
She sounds like a seasoned professional, and she’s just recently graduated a senior at Federal Way’s Todd Beamer High School.
The 20-year-old student — whose full name is Trần Minh Như — moved to the United States from Vietnam just two years ago to pursue her dream of becoming a singer in America.
From the instant she first heard Whitney Houston, Tran fell in love with singing. “When I was in sixth grade, I heard Whitney Houston,” she continued. “I [realized] that, oh, this is my passion. And I wished that one day I [would be] on that stage. I will sing like her. So [embarrassing], but that’s the truth.”
At just 16 years old, Tran actually competed on and won Season 2 of The X Factor Vietnam in 2016. She captivated the judges there, and wanted to compete on American Idol to further establish her talent and work toward her goals.
Tran may be making a name for herself in the states but she’s no stranger for stardom. She’s been singing in Vietnam since she was a little girl, winning X-Factor Vietnam and becoming the voice of the Vietnamese Moana.
“Before I won X-Factor in 2016, my family didn’t want me to [follow my] singing career, they didn’t support me,” said Tran. “But I was so stubborn [so I followed it], and I love to sing, no one can stop me!”
