Nguyễn Thảo Linh (born October 7, 2000) known professionally as Tlinh (stylized as tlinh), is a Vietnamese rapper, singer-songwriter, and dancer. Recognized as a versatile young artist with a distinctive melodic rap style, she is considered one of the most influential and successful Gen Z artists in Vietnam, boasting nearly two million monthly listeners on Spotify. Her creative collaborations have earned her the nickname "the princess of features."

She attended Hanoi – Amsterdam High School for the Gifted and later enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy at Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Eventually, she paused her studies to pursue a professional music career.

Tlinh began her artistic journey as a member of the dance crew Last Fire Crew. In 2020, she transitioned to professional music by participating in the first season of the television show Rap Việt. Following her impressive performance on the show, she collaborated on several hit singles, including "Thích quá rùi nà," "Em là châu báu," "Yêu thầm," "Xích thêm chút (Remix)," and "Siren."

In 2021, she released her debut solo single "Gái độc thân," a pop and R&B track that achieved both commercial and critical success. Building on this momentum, she released two more solo singles, "Không cần phải nói nhiều" and "Strip 'em Down," as well as a chart-topping collaboration with Grey D titled "Vài câu nói có khiến người thay đổi" in 2022.

In 2023, Tlinh released her debut studio album Ái, an R&B and pop project. The album's lead single, "Nếu lúc đó," became her first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Vietnam Hot 100 and Billboard Vietnam Top Vietnamese Songs charts. She also won two Làn Sóng Xanh awards and appeared in the top 5 of "Top Songs of 2023" and "Top Vietnamese Songs of 2023." Tlinh was the only female artist featured in Spotify’s "Top Artists of 2023" Vietnam Rewind campaign.
