enter a world of mile-high hair, high-energy dance music, and underground parties, where names like lynda trang dai, trizzie phuong trinh, and leyna phuong nguyen loomed largest. thai tai grew up in a world of vietnamese americans displaced by war, looking for something to do, wondering what was even possible. as a teenager, he stumbled upon work as a model, then an actor, and finally a singer and cornerstone of the vietnamese american new wave scene of the 80s and 90s. it’s a story of dreaming, chosen families, and doing it yourself.
