[5][10] Rap artist Hoàng Kê, one of the site's participants, invited the singer to join his Young Pilots hip hop group in 2010.

[13] Tùng originally wrote "Cơn mưa ngang qua" for Over Band and Young Pilots before deciding to record the song himself.

[22][23][24][a] Tùng released three singles between August and December 2013: "Nắng ấm xa dần",[25] "Đừng về trễ"[26] and "Em của ngày hôm qua".

[31] The following month, Tùng contributed vocals to a charity cover of Tạ Quang Thắng's "Sống như những đóa hoa" and canceled a number of performances for surgery to remove a tumor from his leg.

[38][39] He contributed two hit singles to the soundtrack: "Chắc ai đó sẽ về" and "Không phải dạng vừa đâu".

[41] In January 2015, Tùng joined a team with disc jockey Trang Moon and music producer SlimV for the first season of the television competition series The Remix.

[44][45][46] Two songs he introduced on the show, "Thái Bình mồ hôi rơi" and "Khuôn mặt đáng thương", were released as singles the following February and March.

[49] Three of his other singles, "Ấn nút nhớ... Thả giấc mơ" (written for an advertising campaign for Omo),[50] "Âm thầm bên em"[51] and "Buông đôi tay nhau ra",[52] were released between June and December 2015.

Although they were modest commercial successes compared to their predecessors, "Âm thầm bên em" received a Green Wave Award for Single of the Year.

[53][54] In July, eight thousand tickets for Tùng's first major concert in Ho Chi Minh City, M-TP & Friends, sold out in two weeks.

[56][57] In December 2015 and January 2016, Tùng's M-TP Ambition concert tour was held in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

[61][62] In January 2016, he guest judged an episode of The Remix's second season and endorsed Oppo's Tết campaign with the song "Một năm mới bình an".

[71][34] He established M-TP Entertainment, and released three singles in early 2017: "Lạc trôi",[72] "Nơi này có anh"[73] and "Bình yên những phút giây".

[75][76] It and "Nơi này có anh" were two of the fastest Asian music videos to receive 100 million views on YouTube, and were two of the year's top streaming tracks in Vietnam.

[78][79] Tùng's last solo release for WePro, "Bình yên những phút giây", was a single written as part of a promotion for Không Độ green tea.

[88] The biography covers Tùng's early life, as well as his experiences with Văn Production and WePro Entertainment, while deliberately omitting any mention of the controversies surrounding his career.

Later in July, the singer played a fictionalized version of himself in Chuyến đi của thanh xuân, a short film sponsored by Biti's and directed by Nguyễn Quang Dũng.

[104][105][106][107] Later that year, Tùng's song "Chắc ai đó sẽ về" was deemed similar to Jung Yong-hwa's 2011 track "Because I Miss You".

However, Vietnam's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism requested alterations to Tùng's single and postponed the premiere of the accompanying film Dandelion.

[109] The song "Chúng ta không thuộc về nhau" also received backlash in 2016 for its similarities to Charlie Puth's "We Don't Talk Anymore" and BTS' "Fire".

[67] Robin Wesley and GC, both music producers, accused Tùng in 2021 of using their work without permission for his singles, "Có chắc yêu là đây" and "Chúng ta của hiện tại", respectively.

[113] In his autobiography Chạm tới giấc mơ, Tùng reminisces about frequently listening to his grandparents sing Quan họ, a traditional Vietnamese folk music style originating in Bắc Ninh, as a child.

[5] Tùng has also been influenced by the Vietnamese underground hip hop scene and K-pop acts, including Big Bang, Super Junior and TVXQ.

[116][117] Tùng followed electronic dance music later in his career, with the tropical house-oriented "Chúng ta không thuộc về nhau" (2016) being one of his first releases in the genre.

[116][75] Some of his productions also incorporated Vietnamese traditional musical instruments—most notably "Lạc trôi" (2017), which is a future bass track featuring the đàn tranh and sáo.

[29][30] According to Thể thao & Văn hóa's Cung Ly, Tùng's knack for "smoothly" blending originality with mainstream K-pop was the reason for his success.

[15][29] Forbes Vietnam's contributor Phan T. Trang wrote that although the public has been more "generous and open" towards the singer since the releases of "Lạc trôi" and "Nơi này có anh", the Vietnamese industry at large still doubts his creativity.

The speech was part of Obama's town-hall meeting with members of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative in Ho Chi Minh City.

[138] Tùng's red-carpet interview in September 2016 gained widespread attention, leading to the creation of memes, remixes, popular songs, and ultimately earning a WeChoice Award for Catchphrase of the Year.
