Kam Ning

[1] Born in Singapore in 1975, she was given violin lessons at the age of six by the elder Kam, and had her early education at the Methodist Girls' School.

The young Kam appeared in an episode of the popular British television programme Blue Peter when she was twelve, playing Paganini's Caprice No.5 in a segment featuring students from the Yehudi Menuhin School.

In 2001, her performance took the second place Prix du Gouvernement Fédérale Belge Eugéne Ysaye in the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition in Belgium in 2001.

As an artist who is keen on venturing off the beaten path, she has collaborated with her brother, percussionist Francis Kam, on concert tours in Taiwan, featuring contemporary music including works by their father, Kam Kee Yong.

Her father's strict teaching instilled a sense of discipline in her, as he set high expectations from her.
