Như Quỳnh (born September 9, 1970, in Đông Hà, as Lê Lâm Quỳnh Như) is a Vietnamese-American pop singer who debuted in the 90s. After winning a televised national singing contest in 1991 held in Ho Chi Minh City, her family soon migrated to the US where she was introduced to Asia Entertainment in 1994. Releasing three albums within less than a year under Asia, her signature soprano voice quickly resonated with the Vietnamese diaspora.

After a legal dispute, Như Quỳnh signed a contract with music agency Thúy Nga in 1996. Becoming one of the company’s most prominent artists, she was granted a wider-reaching platform aiding the since-dubbed “Hoa hậu Bolero” (“Miss Bolero”) to extend her success and solidify herself as an icon in the modern V-pop landscape. Her impact continues to live on as emerging artists emulate her vocal style and fashion sense in the current Vietnamese bolero scene. Since the late 2010s, Như Quỳnh has primarily focused on promoting and touring in Vietnam as well as joining the judge panel of Thần tượng Bolero for its third season in 2018.
