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 1985 was the main start of her popularity among audiences. However, she moved to the United States (Los Angeles) in July 1988 and had a short break in her career. Before leaving the country, she prerecorded two albums:
Khwint Hlut Naw (released in August 1988) and
Pyan Yaw Pay (released in December 1988.) After the tremendous success of her 1990 album
Poe Hpa Lan where her vocals were 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. == Album discography ==
