In Vietnam, numerous music shows and variety programs give new artists the opportunity to show off their music, but the same can’t be said for the U.S., meaning Lala Tran has not gotten the chance to perform for fans just yet, but eventually, the chance to debut is fulfilling a lifelong dream for her.
Seattle, WA – On April 4, 2026, Powerhouse Lala Tran delivered a career-defining performance at Imperial Palace Casino in Tukwila, Washington, showcasing a masterfully structured setlist that spanned nearly 2 hours of non-stop entertainment. Lala Tran initially performed a few ballad cover songs with the band before transitioning to more upbeat Techno tracks, especially in remix/lofi and lounge-style music scenenes for younger audiences that arrived later.
Only a week before the performance, Hoang Hai of VietSoul Entertainment announce that it has sold out. I mean completely sold out, with every space packed with people.

We’ve known Hoang Hai for 20 years, since he first sang for Anh Anderson at the NorthStar Casino in SeaTac, WA, in 2006. He later became a promoter at Muckleshoot Casino for a few years.
Who is LaLa Tran? Many people are interested in this subject after hearing her emotive cover songs on social media. Tran Hoai Phuong, also known as LaLa Tran, is a talented young female vocalist from the 1990s generation of Vietnamese showbiz.

She is recognized as the “queen of covers” due to her distinct, sweet voice and excellent song interpretation abilities. LaLa Tran’s versions of romantic songs are always well received by the music world.
LaLa Tran’s biography tells the amazing narrative of a young girl from a tiny town who has a strong passion for music. Tran Hoai Phuong rose to become the “queen of covers,” beloved by millions of YouTube followers, after starting with modest cover songs. With her lovely voice, which specializes in ballads, and her unyielding determination, LaLa Tran hopes to shine brightly in her professional music career.
