Jimmii C. Nguyen is a young musician who
has just made his debut in the music community in the last three years.
Jimmii, accompanied by his father, arrived in the U.S. when he was ten
years old. His family settled in the San Francisco Bay area.
Ten years later, Jimmii was joined by his
mother and his only sister from Vietnam. Not long thereafter, tragedy struck
the Nguyen's family in the passing of Jimmii's only sister. Her death had
a profound effect on Jimmii's outlook in life and shaped his artistic focus.
In retrospect, his first album Mai Mai
Ben Em, (Forever By Your Side), is a tribute to his late sister. The
album cover featured Jimmii in a cemetery sitting next to his sister's
tombstone. Although this was Jimmii's debut album, it enjoyed quite a bit
of success largely due to his passion in the composition and writing of
the lyrics.
In Jimmii's third album, in the song The
Gioi Mong Manh, he is trying to emphasize the delicate nature of life
and our surrounding. His inspiration was the recent bombing in Oklahoma
city and the carnage and scars that this incident has created in the hearts
of the victims and their families and the American people in general.
Jimmii J.C. Nguyen's music is diverse. He
seems to be experimenting with various genres and he is interested in the
traditional Vietnamese musical instruments. Fans can look forward to future
albums featuring these Vietnamese classical instruments.
