Saung Oo Hlaing (Burmese: ဆောင်းဦးလှိုင် [sʰáʊɰ̃ ʔú l̥àɪɰ̃]; born 8 December 1970) is a Burmese singer-songwriter. He is one of the few Burmese successful
songwriters that do not rely on writing cover songs. In a 2008 interview, he claimed that he had not written a cover song since 2003, and that 95% of 400 plus songs he had written were of his own creation.[1]
Saung Oo Hlaing is a medical doctor by profession; he has a MBBS degree from the University of Medicine 1, Yangon.[2]
In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Saung Oo Hlaing is giving humanitarian assistance to the poor people of Myanmar and living in the United States of America.
