Oriana was raised in England, Dubai, Japan and Singapore, and first played the piano at the age of nine and within five years achieved Distinction for the Performer’s Certificate in Pianoforte from Trinity College London. While living in Singapore from 1991 to 2000, Oriana continued to win first place in local piano competitions and participated in various public events including the Singapore Annual Piano Marathons organised by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO).
