Today (October 29) is the official birthday of Alena, the eldest daughter of singer couple Jimmii Nguyen - Ngoc Pham.
The famous singer and his wife shared emotional stories about their daughter's choice of art as well as unforgettable moments at the coming-of-age ceremony.
Famous singer Jimmii Nguyen unexpectedly gave his daughter Alena a meaningful gift. The 18th birthday gift was a limited edition electric drum that Jimmii had to order from Australia and ask a relative to bring it directly to Vietnam for the family's important event.
Jimmii told his daughter: "I give you this musical instrument as a "fishing rod", it is my pride that now the family has another artist. I hope that from this milestone, you can be independent, take care of your own life through art and music".
The famous singer and his wife also delicately sent their daughter a special lesson in growing up through a unique birthday "cake" that the family painstakingly prepared. The "cake" was made from spring water, wild flowers and corn.
The meaning is "remembering the source of water", reminding Alena not to forget family values and national cultural values on the thorny creative path ahead.
A special guest at the coming of age ceremony announced to give Alena a piece of land worth 2 billion VND. Previously, this person was also the sponsor of the live concert "A Million Words of Gratitude" to celebrate 30 years of singing of musician Jimmii Nguyen at the end of 2022.
Alena was born on October 29, 2006, the eldest daughter of singer and musician Jimmii Nguyen and Ngoc Pham. Alena has two younger siblings, younger sister Malena and younger brother James. During their daughter's studies, the famous singer and his wife never actively oriented their daughter towards art.
However, Alena has always quietly followed her parents' stages and music productions. She has been self-studying and honing her performance skills. During that journey, she has always had the support and guidance of her parents.
