Born on 13 April, Ho Bich Ngoc grew up in Ho Chi Minh City. When only six years old she attended classical piano lessons for the first time, and promptly, her singing talent was discovered. In continuation Ngoc regularly received awards and she was the winner of several music contests at school. At the age of fourteen and together with her sister, Ngoc joined Unplugged’97, a music competition for composing and singing in English held by the Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities a music event that was directed at young music talents age sixteen and above. The team was called Girl and Girl and apart from winning the fourth place in Unplugged’97, Girl and Girl received a lot of public attention. Consequently, Ngoc’s parents let her attend singing lessons with the purpose to further improve her abilities and to foster her natural talent for music. When seventeen years old and a student at Vo Thi Sau High School, Ngoc joined Ho Chi Minh Television (HTV) Voice Contest. It was the first time that she performed for a big audience. Ngoc came fourth and won a prize for the youngest competitor.
After graduating from high school, Ngoc attended the Conservatory of Ho Chi Minh City, and in 2003, she returned to Television Voice Contest one more time. Craving for the highest place, she conquered the board of judges and audience alike, and was rewarded with leaving the competition as the winner. From that point on, Ngoc has pursued a professional career as a singer. She has chosen pop music as the style that best allows her for discovering and satisfying her musical passion.
Saddened over the loss of her beloved father but determined not to give in, Ngoc published her first album Harmony of Light in 2007. Harmony of Light, which also marked the partnership between Ho Bich Ngoc and producer & composer Quoc Bao, received a very positive echo from experts. In consequence, Harmony of Light won the Award for Youngest Singer with Best Album in The Gold Album Event.
In 2009, Ngoc released her second album called The Next Step. Working with composer Thanh Tam, her appearance, style and music expressed modernism and liberalism. As with her first album, Ngoc again received a lot of attention and compliments for The Next Step. The song A New Day out of the album The Next Step won several awards at the Vietnam Song Event. In addition, it was celebrated as the Pop Song of The Year 2009.
