“MY FIRST MEMORY of the piano was at a Yamaha Music School back in Seremban. I was touching four and my mother, who already had an inkling of my musical ability, decided to register me for classes. But they had to turn me away; I was still too young!” recalls Foo Mei Yi with a laugh. “I hadn’t even learned my numbers yet. They told my mum, ‘Come back in a year and we’ll give her some lessons.’”
That was the starting point of Mei Yi’s musical quest. She took to the piano instantly and as she grew, so did her passion for music. Encouraged by her parents, she enrolled at the Royal College and Royal Academy of Music in London.
Today, Mei Yi is a renowned concert pianist and recording artist.
