Lê Quang Quý Trang Đài, also known by the stage name Lynda Trang Đài, is a Vietnamese American singer.[1][2] She moved to Hong Kong and San Diego with family in 1978 before raised in Orange County, California. She has appeared in many of the Paris By Night shows of Thuy Nga Productions,[3] for example Paris By Night 36, 59, 66, 93, 94 and 100. She is noted as one of the first more provocative Vietnamese-American performers.[4] Her racy costumes and stage antics have earned her the title "the Vietnamese Madonna,"[5] "well established but very controversial" (1999)[6] "notoriously bold veteran" (2005).[7] and so on.[8]
Her stage name was derived from Lynda Carter. She married her labelmate, Tommy Ngô, in 1997 and adapted his family name. She is also the owner of a Bánh mì restaurant Lynda Sandwich, it was opened in the last day of 2010 on Beach Boulevard, Westminster, California.
On January 4, 2025, Đài was arrested for allegedly shoplifting an AirPods case at a Gucci store.[9]
