Ayden Sng Zheng (born 17 November 1993) is a Singaporean actor, host and musician, best known for starring in the television series Loving You, Truths About Us, The Unbreakable Bond and All That Glitters.

Early life and career

Sng attended Raffles Institution and graduated from Duke University, where he majored in International Comparative Studies. He was a Commando when serving National Service (NS). He worked as a product manager in a consulting firm where his pay was reportedly more than $6,000 a month, before he became a full-time Mediacorp artiste in May 2019. In June 2021, Sng revealed that he had renewed his contract with the TV station.

In September 2023, Sng was one of the actors chosen for the Mediacorp–Huanyu Entertainment partnership, where the Chinese talent management company will represent him in China.

In April 2024, Sng was cast in an untitled Chinese fantasy drama, which also starred Bai Lu and Joseph Zeng as its main leads.

Personal life

Sng plays the violin, piano, and erhu. He is also a former member of the Singapore National Youth Orchestra, and is a host of their online programme Music Chatterbox.

Sng took the Mensa test when he was in primary school and was admitted to the organisation where members are tested to have an IQ of above 130.

Sng named American business magnate Elon Musk as one of the people he idolises the most.

In February 2023, Sng and his fanclub, "The Baeden Club", raised more than $1,800 for the victims of the Turkey–Syria earthquake. The donations were later handed to the Singapore Red Cross Society.
