Hay Mar Nay Win (Burmese: ဟေမာနေဝင်း, in Burmese pronounced as /hèmà nè wɪ́ɰ̃/; commonly spelt Hayma Ne Win) is a Burmese singer who was popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s. She is considered one of the most successful singers of her generation, releasing over 25 albums since her debut.[1] She began her singing career by making appearances on stage shows with Thein Tan's band LPJ, eventually singing songs written by Kaiser and Thukhamein Hlaing, such as "Butterfly" and "Where Does Love Start?" .

Early life

Hay Mar comes from a well known artistic family. She is the daughter of two-time Myanmar Academy Award winning Kawleikgyin Ne Win, and the younger sister of actor Yar Zar Nay Win and a first cousin of Eaindra Kyaw Zin, an actress and model. Her maternal grandfather was Bo Zeya, one of the Thirty Comrades that founded the modern Burmese Army in 1941. Additionally, her uncle was Dagon Taryar, a renowned writer, who taught Hay Mar singing while he played the piano.

Growing up, she had always had an interest in music, singing songs that her father would play on the piano. Her father did not support her music career, and he passed away before he could see Hay Mar's great success.

Career

Her father was friends with Myanmar Pyi Thein Tan, from the LPJ band and prominent singer in the 1970s-1980s. He saw her talent and offered to help create her first album, Chit Lu Soe. Throughout her career, her main supporters were her aunt Daw Ni and uncle Dagon Taryar. The success of her song Yone Lar broadcast on MRTV in 1986 was the main start of her popularity among audiences. However, she moved to the United States (Los Angeles) in 1988 and she had a short break in her career. In late 1988, her prerecorded album before she left the country was released, named Pyan Yaw Pay. After the tremendous success of her 1990 album Poe Hpa Lan which she recorded in the United States, she returned to Myanmar in 1991 to continue making music and continued to see more success. During this time period, she also released numerous Myanmar genre songs.

In 2004, she had a 2 hour live show of her greatest hits featuring both younger and older singers. This was one of her bestselling albums released through both VCD Karaoke and CD. To this day, young generations also know Hay Mar's songs and continue to cover them.
