Career
Ah Moon was born Lung Sitt Ja Moon in Myitkyina in war-torn Burma. She was first exposed to music in church where her father was a Baptist minister. Moon studied acting, singing, dance, and violin and piano. Ah Moon speaks five languages and graduated with a degree in Russian from the Yangon University of Foreign Language in 2012. Ah Moon began her career in modeling. In 2009, she won Best Talent in the Miss Christmas model competition in Yangon, which led her to pursue singing. She also won the Miss Alliance Francaise competition, a contest held by the French Embassy, in 2009.
In 2010, Ah Moon was one of five women chosen from 120 candidates responding to a radio and newspaper advertisement to be a part of a girl band named The Tiger Girls created by Nicole May, an Australian dancer who came to Myanmar. In 2011, the Tiger Girls released their first album, Year of the Tiger Girls, and gained domestic and international attention as Burma’s first pop girl band. The band later separated from their producer and reformed with a new name, Me N Ma Girls, which is a homophone for Myanmar girls. Me N Ma Girls released a new album, Mingalabar (Welcome), in 2011.
The group was featured in a documentary Miss Nikki and the Tiger Girls, which followed the group after the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and shows the effects of Myanmar in transition from 2010 through 2012. In 2013, the group decreased from five to two members with Ah Moon and Kimi remaining. In 2014, Me N Ma Girls was the first band from Myanmar to be nominated for Best Music Video at the VIMA Music Awards for Girl Strong.
Solo career
In 2014, Moon began working on her first Burmese solo album, Min Pay Tae A Chit, which has songs in both Burmese and English. The album sold out in Myanmar within weeks. In 2015, she performed at the Advancing Opportunities For Women" music concert in Yangon for International Women Day.
