About

Sina was born in Germany in 1999. Growing up in a musical family, she was exposed to a big selection of musical instruments from a very young age. Her father Mike Wilbury is a professional live- and studio musician. He recognised Sina’s talent for rhythm and groove early and took her to weekly drumming lessons from age 10.

When Sina was 14 years old, her father helped her to film and record her first YouTube video.

Quickly gaining international recognition with her videos, she soon started working on her first original album Chi Might, later to be followed by the albums Chi Might II and Chi Might III. Through these albums, Sina’s musical journey was shaped by collaboration from the very beginning. The Chi Might project alone features more than 40 individual artists.

Today, Sina is the most-watched female drummer on YouTube.

In 2018, Sina received her diploma from Drummers Institute in Krefeld, Germany. From 2020, she studied Jazz & Pop Drums at ArtEZ Conservatory in Arnhem, The Netherlands. From this study, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 2024.

In 2022, Sina moved her recording studio out of her father’s basement in Germany to a houseboat The Netherlands. In summer 2024, she moved to London, UK.

How does this channel survive?

Some people think that YouTube pays Sina a lot of money because her channel has many views and subscribers. But unfortunately, most of those views refer to videos that use copyrighted material.

Sina gains most of her views on her drum cover videos. For those videos, she uses the original audio recording of the song she covers, and records her own drum part on top. This means, that those videos are copyright protected. YouTube’s algorithm recognises any copyright-protected audio automatically during the upload process. Once a video is copyright claimed, ALL revenue that is generated through that video automatically goes to the copyright holder of the song. That's usually Sony, Universal, or Warner Music.

That’s why, to keep her YouTube channel running, Sina is dependent on the help of her viewers. Through the support from her Patrons, YouTube Channel Members, direct donations and other support, she has been able to move to London, commit to making music full-time and grow her YouTube channel to more than 1.6 million subscribers today. This gives her the time, the platform, and the creative freedom to realise huge collaborations, follow up on crazy video ideas, and make her musical dreams come true.
