In 2019, Trâm Anh took part in a contest to select the second generation of Z-Girls – a multinational music group in South Korea.

In the contest, she has presented a pretty good vocal skill, alongside her impressive dancing. However, she only finished in the top 10 contestants. After this contest, she released a cover version of the song Người Tình Mùa Đông (The Winter Lover) under the stage name Chérie, expecting to pursue the music career in V-pop. She also featured in a cover music video of the popular Chinese movie series Journey to the West​.
