Early life

Born in Saigon, Vietnam, to Chinese parents, Vico grew up in the Sydney suburb of Bankstown and began performing at the age of 10. In 1995 Vico received a prestigious national scholarship to study at the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP). During his time at ATYP, Vico trained and performed in various theatrical and musical productions such as Corragio, Macbeth and Beyond the Game.
