Yuchang was exposed to the world of music very early on, when he picked up playing the piano from the age of 6. Introduced to basic drumming with the Raffles Institution Military Band, he started drumming at 13. This was followed by a 2-year stint with the Raffles Junior College Symphonic Band. The 6 years of drumming with the band was highlighted by 2 gold medallions from the Singapore Youth Festival Competitions and a top band award in 2001.

Yuchang's true passion for drumming was finally discovered when he was introduced to Afro-Brazilian percussion in 2005 when he joined Samba Masala. He has also played to crowds abroad in Los Angeles, London and most memorably, for the Drogheda Samba Festival in Ireland.

Initially a surdo player, Yuchang then moved on to pick up the caixa, which he continues to play for Sambiesta with great enjoyment today.

Currently pursuing degrees in business management and accountancy at SMU, Yuchang is intending to enter the banking sector upon graduation in 2009 – but will definitely continue to play great music alongside a bunch of very good friends.
