Shi Ying is delighted to be the latest addition to Sambiesta!

Having 2 years of experience playing the Agogo bells and Chocalho in Samba Masala, she has been hooked to the funky grooves and infectious beats since day one.

Music has been a part of her life since young, from Yamaha piano lessons to playing the French Horn in the Dunman High School and Victoria Junior College Symphonic Band. Having loved percussion all along and seeking a different approach to music than bands / orchestras, samba music was just the thing for her.

Discovering samba music was probably the best thing that happened to her, and she loves it most when the audience gets hyped up and grooving to the music.
