An invitation to a journey...

 

"A symphony of two worlds."

 

Raised in different worlds, Richard, born in France and shaped by Western culture, and Thany, born and living in Cambodia, bring together their unique backgrounds. Their music is modern pop shaped by Khmer heritage, bridging cultures with honesty and innovation.

In 2024, they founded Khmer Style – not just a music project, but a cultural movement redefining Cambodian pop for the next generation.

A Khmer Awakening for the Next Generation

Everything changed when VannDa took the stage at the Paris Olympics. Seeing a Khmer artist perform on a global platform ignited a realization: Khmer music must evolve and be heard worldwide.

This mission is deeply personal. The music is not just for today – it’s for the next generation, for my child, who will grow up in a world where Khmer voices are no longer in the shadows.

Khmer Style is a movement to push Khmer music forward – to redefine our cultural sound for the future.

Legacy

Music as Memory

A souvenir for the next generation

Why We Create

Khmer Style is not a career. It is a memory project.

These songs are for Thany. For our son Louis. And for the generations who will come after us, when we are no longer here.

Music keeps feelings alive. It protects memories. It is a voice that survives time. Music share emotions.

"I create music so that my family and future generations can remember me as a creator, even after I’m gone."
Richard Vy

What Drives This Music

💝

For Family

Every song is a message. For Thany, who shares this journey across his new life in France with me. For Louis, who will inherit both French and Cambodian identity as I did but with less lost in translation. For the family members who came before us, and those who will come after.

🕰️

For Memory

When Richard and Thany are gone, these songs will remain. A clear emotional trace. A piece of our voices preserved through time. A souvenir of who we were and what we felt.

🌏

For Identity

We use both English and Khmer so the language stays alive. So Louis and children like him -can hear their heritage in modern sound. So Cambodian culture evolves without being lost.

How We Work

Richard works alone, using AI as a tool to create without a studio. But the ideas are his. The emotion is his. The intention is human. The message is personal.

Thany, in Cambodia, ensures cultural authenticity. She curates the Khmer lyrics. She keeps the heritage honest while embracing modern expression.

Together, across distance, they build music that will outlast them.

Our Values

  • Honesty — No pretense, no manufactured image
  • Clarity — Simple messages that endure
  • Legacy — Creating for those who come after
  • Transparency — Open about tools and process
  • Family First — This is not a career, it's a memory archive

What Legacy Means to Us

What does legacy mean to you?

A clear memory. A message that stays even when I am gone. A souvenir for my son. A link for the next generation.

I know my Khmer roots, but I do not know my full family history.
I never met my grandparents.
My biological father died.
My mother is still alive and she gts remarried, but I still feel like I have no past.
I grew up in France feeling lost in identity.
Like an adopted child with no background.
This project helps me reconnect my soul.
I am writing a new page for me and my new family.
My son will grow up with clarity, not silence.

What do you want your family to feel when they listen later?

Clarity.
Love.
Honesty.
A simple view of who I was.
A piece of my mind and voice that survives time.
I want them to understand my choices and my path.
I want them to know that opportunity must be created in this world.
Use every modern tool.
Learn.
Move forward.
Do not wait for permission to grow.

Is this project a career?

No.
It is a personal archive.
It is a memory record for my family.
It is a clear message for the next generation.
I create so my wife and my son understand my path.
I create so my future family knows who I was.
This is not a career plan.
This is my legacy.

Why choose modern pop for this project?

Modern pop gives me the structure I need.
The melodies are clear and easy to remember.
The tone is simple, direct, and emotional without being complex.
This fits the way I think and the way I express myself.
I can speak about family, identity, and memory in a format people understand fast.
Modern pop also lets me use a clean vocal line so my message stays clear.
It gives space for bilingual lyrics without confusion.
It connects my French life and my Khmer roots in one sound.
It is the language of today, so the next generation will understand it easily.


Themes We Explore

Family

The bonds that stay strong across generations.
The links that survive distance and time.
Every Khmer person knows this reality.
Family carries the weight of the past and the hope for the future.
It is the base of my project and the reason I create.

Responsibility

What I must correct from my own past.

Cultural Identity

Living between two cultures.
Born in France with Khmer roots.
Cambodia has changed each time I visited.
The country is moving forward in a good way.
The recent border issue showed unity.
I want to keep my heritage alive in a simple and modern form.
Music helps me stay connected to where I come from.

Memory

What we keep.
What we protect.
What we pass to our children.
What helps the next generation understand where they come from.
We do not erase our history.
We learn it to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

The Cambodian Connection

Richard was born in France. His roots are Cambodian. He carries his parents' story - survivors of genocide, builders of new lives in a foreign land.

Khmer Style exists to keep that link alive. To ensure Louis and his generation can hear their heritage in modern sound. To prove that Cambodian culture can evolve without being lost.

We use Khmer not as decoration, but as foundation. The language must survive in contemporary music, or it risks fading from young voices.

"I want a simple and honest identity. I carry my parents' story. I reconnect to my roots. I use Khmer to keep the language alive in modern pop." Richard Vy

What Comes Next

We will continue writing songs for our family.

We will improve our Khmer, deepen our bilingual sound.

We hope to work with other Khmer artists who share this vision.

We will keep creating souvenirs for the generations after us.

This is not about fame.
It is not about streams or playlists.
It is about leaving something clear and honest.
Sharing a culture in a simple way.
A voice.

A memory.

 A souvenir for those we love.
