The Spring 2022 issue was his first as Musicworks' art director. Born in Vietnam, Thang moved to Canada to study art; he received several awards for his art while attending the University of Toronto Mississauga and Sheridan College. His international immersion has allowed him to develop a broad cross-cultural perspective, which significantly informs his practice.
