Chi Tai did not start his career as a comedian at the first place. It was not until 2000 that the former Vietnamese entertainer officially shifted to the comedy field. Beforehand, the former entertainer was a talented guitarist, a music composer, and a vocalist for a band that he led himself. He called it with the name Chi Tai’s brother, and that home band created a reputation for Chi Tai in the entertaining world of Vietnamese living abroad.

Inside the comedy stage, Chi Tai was a graceful comedian who would be willing to sacrifice himself to push his partner and the play. He was said to be a kind and warm-hearted person, and very friendly as well.
Hoai Linh admitted that Chi Tai was his best friend, and his soulmate.
