She wants everyone to see her as "beautiful sister Xuan Nghi", no longer the little girl of yesteryear.

"The image of little Xuan Nghi is still remembered by many audiences. That is lucky but also a pressure for me, " Xuan Nghi confided.

Going to America to escape the shadow of "little" Xuan Nghi

Xuan Nghi, born in 1994, was once known as a "musical prodigy" when she showed her singing ability very early. At only 5 years old, she stood on a professional stage, receiving much love from children and parents.

At that time, Xuan Nghi was a child singer and actress with a huge presence. Xuan Nghi released her first album when she was 9 years old. From 2005 to 2008, she released 4 personal albums.

"The image of little Xuan Nghi is still remembered by many audiences. That is lucky but also a pressure for me," Xuan Nghi said.

She also won many awards for children's music, such as: Special prize Spring Singing, 3rd prize Childhood Singing, 1st prize Children's Singing Festival and 2nd prize Television Young Singing... In addition to singing, Xuan Nghi also accepted invitations to act in some famous films such as: Five-color flower, Turning path, Son ca khong hat...

However, at the age of 16, Xuan Nghi decided to put her career on hold and study abroad in the US while her career was still developing. Sharing about this decision, she once said: “My purpose here is to study and improve myself to stabilize my career. The first few years in America were like a movie, I went to school, learned music, played in a band and performed everywhere. No one knew who I was, it was like starting a new life. I could go out and do whatever I wanted, without having to wear makeup or dress up, I really liked that!”

Previously, when talking about the reason for going to America, Xuan Nghi affirmed: “ I like the name Xuan Nghi. But if I stayed in Vietnam, this name would haunt me and I would not have the opportunity to develop. I want to go to America to escape the shadow of Xuan Nghi.”

When she came to the US, the singer studied at Orange County School of the Arts (OCHSA, one of the Top 3 art academies in California). In 2015, she studied Music Industry and Marketing at the University of Southern California.

14 years have passed, now Xuan Nghi is 30 years old. Completely different from the innocent child singer image of years ago, she is now a mature beauty, possessing curves and beauty that is not inferior to anyone. However, Xuan Nghi's path to art has encountered many obstacles.

She wants everyone to see her as "beautiful sister Xuan Nghi", no longer the little girl she was.

Xuan Nghi shared that her first job in the US when she was in high school was serving pho, selling milk tea, teaching English to the elderly... Her family gradually "let go" so she could live independently, earn money to pursue her passion. She focused on doing business in the music industry, with music production, practicing musical talents... instead of appearing as a singer. Along with that, Xuan Nghi also does marketing for many brands.

In 2018, Xuan Nghi returned to Vietnam to try her hand and released a song. However, the domestic music market has changed, making it difficult for her to get used to it. This return could not help her regain her former glory, as the audience only remembered the image of little Xuan Nghi from years ago. However, the female singer has never been discouraged and continues to release products that are more suitable to the tastes of Vietnamese audiences.

In 2019, her name became known in the Vietnamese indie scene with 2 singles Summer Night and Khong the ty buon. A year later, she released the single umakeme. All three of Xuan Nghi's singles were on the Vietnamese charts. The music product marking her return to the Vietnamese music market received positive reviews from experts, and many people in the profession also looked at her differently.

Happy with her childhood boyfriend

In her personal life, Xuan Nghi had an 8-year relationship with a guy named Kenny, one year younger than her. They met in college and shared a common interest in music. Although Kenny was a businessman, he wholeheartedly supported Xuan Nghi in her creative and directing work. In addition, the singer also cherished her ex-boyfriend because he was an affectionate person who cared about his family.

After breaking up, the female singer said they both have new lives. "My 8-year relationship gave me many valuable experiences and lessons. I know how to balance my emotions, love myself and maintain my current relationship," she said.

Currently, she is happy with her childhood sweetheart boyfriend. She said her boyfriend is an engineer, the same age as her, currently living in the US. "We have known each other since we were young but rarely met. During a trip back to Vietnam two years ago, we met again and gradually developed feelings for each other," Xuan Nghi shared.

Xuan Nghi is currently happy with her childhood friend boyfriend.

The singer expressed her gratitude that her boyfriend does not work in the music industry but is understanding and always supports her in pursuing art. Both families are close so they nurture their love story. The two are increasingly attached and have planned a long-term relationship.

She shared that she is passionate about her work but values her family. When love is ripe, she wants to get married and try to build her own career and a small family at the same time.
