Tasha Low, a Singaporean singer, actress, and former K-pop idol rose to prominence in 2012 as the leader of the South Korean girl group Skarf.
Her journey into the K-pop industry began after she was selected in an audition organized by Alpha Entertainment, which led her to South Korea for intensive training.
Although Skarf disbanded in 2014, Tasha transitioned into acting, gaining further recognition through her roles in various Singaporean dramas.
Her appearances in The Diam Diam Era and Genie In A Cup showcased her versatility, helping her gain wider attention in her home country.
Early Life and Education
Tasha Low was born on October 11, 1993, in Singapore. She is now 31 years old. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in dance, her great-grandfather, Low Poh San, is credited with introducing ballroom dancing to Singapore.
Her grandfather, Sunny Low, continued this legacy as a prominent ballroom dancer and choreographer. Tasha was raised in Singapore, where she developed a strong interest in performing arts, particularly dance, which later became her gateway into the K-pop industry.
She attended Fuhua Secondary School and completed her Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level exams before moving to South Korea for her entertainment career. Despite the intense demands of her training in South Korea, Tasha always held close ties to her cultural roots and family in Singapore.
Personal Life
Tasha Low’s career demands took precedence over her personal life during her early years in the K-pop industry, and she sacrificed much time away from her family, including during the difficult period when her father passed away in 2013.
Despite the strain her career placed on personal relationships, she expressed deep regret for not spending more time with her father before his death.
Tasha’s reflections on these personal losses have been shared in interviews, where she spoke about the emotional challenges of balancing a demanding career with personal well-being.

Following the group’s disbandment in 2014, Tasha participated in the reality TV show Idol School in 2017, competing for a spot in a new girl group but was ultimately eliminated. After returning to Singapore in 2018, she pivoted to acting and found success in local television.
Her notable works include starring in the Mediacorp drama Titoudao and films such as The Diam Diam Era (2020) and its sequel, The Diam Diam Era Two (2021).

One major turning point was the suicide of a fellow K-pop singer, which deeply affected her. Tasha admitted that the news made her reflect on her mental health struggles and the unhealthy environment she had been enduring.
This period of her life was marked by her realization that she needed to step away from the K-pop scene for her well-being.
