Trang Nguyen was born on June 29, 1983. She wrote her own songs at ten and auditioned as a backup singer for Angelina, an established singing artist. She later answered a call from John Robert Powers and made it as a finalist for the IMTA competition. In high school, Trang worked with various artists and began to develop her career as a solo singer by performing at local venues, including the California State Fair. On July 25, 2003, tragedy struck and Trang lost her parents to violence. Dealing with the heavy media attention in Sacramento that forced her to move her family to safety in the Bay Area, Trang poured her feelings of sorrow into words and wrote all of the songs for her album. More than a year after the tragedy, Trang has released her debut album titled "Deep Inside," which is available online at Tower Records and CD Baby. She has also been approached by Mentorn Productions based in Los Angeles about recording her life for national television.
Trang Nguyen's biography
Trang Thuy Nguyen was born in Sacramento, CA on June 29, 1983 when her parents, Hue Dai Nguyen and Loi Thi Ngo, immigrated to the United States after the Vietnam War. Her love of music didn't begin to develop until at the early age of seven, following her parents' introduction to their favorite hobby...karaoke. She started performing and developing her singing voice through small karaoke parties held by relatives and family friends.
It wasn't until she was fourteen that she began to take music seriously after a friend heard her sing karaoke and suggested that she create a demo. From then on, she started attending recording sessions and working with various local artists and companies. When her manager discovered her at the age of eighteen, she began work on her solo debut album while performing at local venues in Sacramento and the Bay Area, including the California State Fair.
On July 25, 2003, a tragic event occurred where both of Trang's parents were shot and killed while working in her uncle's jewelry store. Faced with the task of caring for her five younger siblings, she relocated them to the Bay Area so that she could continue her college education. While settling into her new role as single parent to her brothers and sisters, Trang was determined not to allow her added responsibilities to stand in the way of her music. More passionate about music than ever, she devoted her little extra time to writing and recording music in the studio. Now a year later after the tragedy that touched and changed her family, Trang has completed her debut album titled "Deep Inside" which is set to release in stores and online soon.
