Joining a military-band-in-name (actually a concert band) in her secondary school was just a pure coincidence for Renee. She was placed in the percussion section when managed to drum out simple rhythms during the band audition. The next four years playing timpani and drumkit finally ignited her passion for drumming and performing. With a background as a percussionist, drumming seems like just the right thing to do there after.

Renee first came into contact with Samba music in university and continued playing even after graduation with Sambiesta. Having great fun playing with her wonderful samba mates is what keeps her passion in drumming. With the groovy music that awaits her, it's hard to resist not moving and playing to it.
