In addition to playing piano, Teng joined Stanford’s a capella team, Harmonics. “Through high school and college, I’d play and write songs as an escape from everything else, and as a way of working out my understanding of the world.” “I found the piano endlessly fascinating,” she said. She continued to nurture this love in her high school years with the piano. “My parents tell me I was always singing as a toddler.” “It was my first love, I think,” said Teng. Since her debut in 2002 she has produced four albums, including “Waking Hour” and “Warm Strangers”, which once reached No. She sings from four main genres: folk, pop, indie folk and chamber pop. One such persevering entertainer is Saratoga High alumni and singer Vienna Teng, the stage name for 1996 graduate Cynthia Shih. In today’s society, simply wanting to be an entertainer is not enough aside from being talented, getting noticed takes a lot of effort too.

Teng told The Falcon that she found her passion in music early on. Since her debut in 2002 she has produced four albums, including "Waking Hour" and "Warm Strangers", which once reached No.
