Biography

Born on 13 April 1983 in Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Bich Ngoc grew up in Binh Thanh District, a central district of the southern Vietnamese metropolis.

Ngoc gained first public attention after participating at Unplugged 97, a music competition for composing and singing in English held by the Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities addressing young talents age sixteen and above. Only fourteen years old, she participated together with her older sister Van Pham. The team of the two sisters was called Girl and Girl and they participated with a song called Take Me With You, Ngoc singing while Van Pham was accompanying her on the piano. The double came fourth place and received a lot of public attention, not least due to the young age of Ngoc.[1]

In 2000, while a student at Vo Thi Sau Girl High School, Ngoc joined the Television Voice Contest Tiếng hát Truyền hình HTV. She came fourth place and won a prize for the youngest competitor at the contest. After graduating from high school, Ngoc attended the Conservatory of Ho Chi Minh City, and, in 2003, she returned to the Television Voice Contest Tiếng hát Truyền hình HTV Vietnam one more time. This time she left the competition as the winner.[2][3]

In 2005 Ngoc lost her father, a change that would influence her future life and music.[4]

Saddened over the loss but determined not to give in she published her first album Hoa Am Cua Anh Sang (English: Harmony of Light) two years later in 2007. The album received very positive echo from experts and Ngoc won an award of Youngest Singer with Best Album in The Gold Album Event in 2007.[5]

In 2009, Ngoc released her second album called Buoc Ke Tiep (English: The Next Step).[6] Appearance, style and music of this second album expressed modernism and liberalism.[7] As with her first album, Ngoc received a lot of attention and compliments for Buoc Ke Tiep.[8] The song Mot Ngay Moi (English: A New Day) of the same album won several awards at the national Song Event Bài hát Việt among others Pop Song of The Year 2009.

The album was followed by the single Ngay moi cho tinh yeu in 2011[9]

On 14 February 2016 Ngoc released her third album Ngọc, a compilation of covers of Vietnamese classics.[10]
