Early life

edit

Nguyễn Đức Cường was born in 1989 in Đồng Nai province, Vietnam.[3] Conflicting sources suggest he might have actually been born in Hạ Long, Quảng Ninh province.[4][1] His family is originally from Hung Yen.[5] Cường was raised in Quảng Ninh for most of his childhood.[3][6]

During his time in high school, Cường discovered his passion for writing rap songs and began performing them at school events.[3] Due to his family's financial hardships, he was unable to pursue higher education after completing high school. Instead, Cường found employment as a waste collector to support himself and his family. After venturing into a professional career in rapping, he adopted the stage name Đen Vâu or simply Đen.[3][1]
