Despite not having a shred of talent

[Bassim]

Have I made any mistakes? I'm not sure if my sentence sounds natural.

Despite not having a shred of talent, Belinda enjoyed playing her favourite songs on the piano.

 

[abaka]

Well done.

 

[Tarheel]

Although the music she produced may have been cringeworthy, she enjoyed herself when she played the piano.

 

[Tdol]

How did her audience feel?

 

[Bassim]

They were pretending to enjoy it, because knowing that Belinda had terrible temper, nobody dared to show any sign of discomfort.

I wrote the above sentence mostly to see if I could use "a shred of talent."

Excellent response!

(I wouldn't necessarily assume she had an audience.)
