Samantha  is the quiet powerhouse behind Shabir Music Asia’s day-to-day operations. As the studio’s go-to for admin, scheduling, and client correspondence, she keeps the entire engine running smoothly, all while choosing to remain delightfully anonymous behind her trademark duck display picture.

(She's shy, but trust us — the duck means business.)
 

With a razor-sharp eye for detail and an uncanny ability to juggle deadlines, emails, production calendars, and last-minute changes, Samantha is the reason the team stays on track and stress levels stay (somewhat) sane. Whether it's liaising with festival organizers, coordinating artist logistics, or sending just the right nudge at just the right time, she’s the glue that holds projects together.
 

Her calm, measured presence and dry wit make her both beloved by the team and deeply valued by partners. Samantha may not always be in the spotlight — but behind every great score, production, or performance at SMA, she’s already sent three emails to make sure it happened.
