Biography and career

Linh Nga and family.

Linh Nga was born in Hanoi, Vietnam on January 3, 1982 to Quang Duy Nguyen, a composer, and Thuy Bich Thi Le, an opera singer.[4][5] When Linh was nine years old, her father left her mother to pursue his passion for music. As a result, the family moved frequently.[6]

Linh Nga began her career on stage at an early age. She often sang and performed at friends' and family's functions, and was part of local song and dance troupe.[7] In 1990, Linh Nga earned her first award for "City's Best Young Voice". Two years later, Linh Nga joined the Club of Love (Cau lac bo tinh thuong), a registered charity group formed by Tuong Vi. Linh Nga began her professional dancing career at the age of ten.[8] In 1992, she began attending the Vietnam Academy of Dance (Truong Cao Dang mua Viet Nam),[9] where she achieved artistic and academic honors upon graduation.

Linh Nga was discovered at the age of thirteen by a newspaper photographer, when he noticed her at work during her dancing performance at Vietnam Academy of Dance and took a photograph of her. Following this, Linh decided to pursue a career as a model.[10] (Đẹp) modeling magazine then started representing her.[11]

In 1999, Linh Nga graduated from the Vietnam Academy of Dance with a BA degree. Later that year, Linh Nga was introduced by Giang Son, a music composer for the Five Lines Band.[12] Son invited her to provide vocals for the band. In January 2000, the Five Lines Band released its self-titled debut, but failed to garner success until 2005. In March 2000, Linh Nga left the Five Lines Band in order to pursue her career in film directing. Nga made her film debut with a small supporting role in the 1999 romance drama Khoang cach (The Distance), directed by female director, Bạch Diệp. The success of Khoang cach brought Nga prominence.[13]

In 2000, Nga began studying film directing at the Hanoi Academy of Theatre and Cinema.[14] She wrote, directed, and starred in her first film, "Xuoi nguoc duong tran", in 2001. "Xuoi nguoc duong tran" earned a National Television Award for Best Television Series of the year. In 2006, Linh Nga graduated.
