About Khmer Style
Khmer Style is a bilingual music project bridging Cambodian heritage with global pop. Founded in 2024 by French-Cambodian artist Richard Vy and Cambodian cultural curator Thany Vy, the project transforms personal cross-cultural experiences into universal stories through modern electro-pop.
Working across continents - Richard and Thany in France, the couple creates music that serves as both cultural preservation and evolution. Each song blends Khmer pentatonic emotional phrasing with contemporary pop production, sung in both Khmer and English to reach diaspora communities and global audiences simultaneously.
Their "Echoes" series - four albums exploring journey, hope, sorrow, and healing-represents a complete emotional and cultural arc. The project employs transparent AI-assisted production while maintaining human-led creative direction, positioning Khmer Style at the intersection of tradition, technology, and transformation.
"To keep culture alive, we must let it grow. Khmer Style proves that pop music can elevate heritage, not dilute it." Khmer Style manifesto
