Toh Shir Ling was exposed to music at an early age under the influence of her music-loving parents and sister. She actively participated in various brass bands and symphonic bands throughout elementary and high schools, where she developed a deep passion for music. Even after graduating from college and becoming a working adult, Shir Ling often plays music with friends who share her interest in music and she eventually ventured into song-writing. In 2017, Shir Ling participated in Short+Sweet Song and she was awarded Best Overall Production for her composition along with Jacqueline Teng. She has since been invited to perform at "Live@The Actors Studio Singer-Songwriters", "Yayasan Sime Darby Art Festival 2018 Singer-Songwriters...And the Curtain Rises", “Don’t Let Him Know'' and “Cabaret Series: Golden Melody 1-4”.
In 2019, she collaborated alongside Jacqueline Teng and Andrew Lim, composing the original music for the enchanting musical "Rasa Melaka the Musical." Their creative synergy flourished again in 2022 when she and Jacqueline Teng jointly composed for the mesmerizing “Inner Thoughts"—featuring fully original compositions by her and Jacqueline Teng. This artistic journey continued as she became one of the musical composers for "A Streetcar Named Desire," guided by the director Joe Hasham that same year. In 2023, the duo reunited to compose the music for "Dream of a Century," a centennial musical commemorating the 100th anniversary of Pin Hwa High School in Klang.
In theatrical performances, Shir Ling has been involved in multiple productions of the "Don't Let Him Know" series, and she participated in the performance of "A Streetcar Named Desire" in 2022. Her acting journey continued into 2023, where she captivated audiences in "Mama Looking For Her Cat," under the direction of Singaporean luminary Benjamin Ho. Sharing the limelight in MLFHC with Dato' Faridah Merican, the first lady of Malaysian theater, was an immense privilege. That year, she showcased her versatile talents as the host of the "The Dramatic Arts Society's 60th Anniversary Gala Dinner" and also showcased her talent in the drama performance titled "Juyi Kopitiam".
"It has always been Shir Ling’s dream to keep learning and exploring, in hopes that she can share her joy and inspiration through her compositions and performances.
