Dung Nguyen learnt his instruments, which include the 16-stringed Vietnamese zither, the dan tranh, and the dan bau from his grandfather while growing up in Vietnam, continuing a tradition of many generations. He came to Australia when he was 16 and continued his studies at Monash University where he developed a love of jazz and won prizes for his jazz guitar playing. Later he brought the two streams of his musical life together in Way Out West.
