The Vietnamese Los Angeles-based creative attained a substantial level of success releasing music as Minh with his eclectic mix of pop, electronic and soul elements, earning placements in high profile television programs such as 90210 and National Geographic.

His artistry is a 100% genuine extension of his heartfelt thoughts and world view and M.D. has cultivated this forward-thinking mindset into a profoundly intriguing new song and composition titled “Stand Next to Me” .

  • Verse 1:

    All of us feel the same
    When we see our mothers crying
    Feel the same pain
    Seeing our brothers laying there dying

    Pre-Chorus:

    Cry the same tears
    Bleed the same blood while we’re fighting
    Breathe the same air
    Tell me why we’re still divided

    Chorus:

    Stand next to me
    We are the world
    Stand next to me
    You are my world
    We’re not enemies
    We are the world
    Stand next to me

    Verse 2:

    All of us want the change
    Let’s stop the blame and the shaming
    We can all be the change
    For the lives this hate is claiming

    (Pre-Chorus)

    (Chorus)

    Bridge:

    We’ve all been on this road for far too long
    Weary souls only wanting to feel at home
    How much longer can this all go on
    Til we all belong

    (Chorus)
