Sandy Tang grew up in Markham, Ontario and her love for singing started when she would memorize and sing to her father's cassettes in the car before she understood any of the lyrics. She continued singing in choir and jazz choir all through highschool, lead by teacher Mrs. Shirley Madden.

During her time in Toronto, she joined Amadeus Choir with musical director Lydia Adams, as well as an acapella choir called Notarized. Sandy received her Bachelor's of Architecture at Laurentian University, but having decided (maybe a little bit too late) that that might not be for her, she decided to pursue her career in illustration and design.
