BK: When did you start rapping?
At first, I wrote a pop-rock song to promote Dome Pakorn’s Iconic Records, which I followed up with “RapAke” which is all about my life. It’s my favorite and most popular song so far, since I started doing this in July 2012. This song took me a few months to write, unlike my other 27 songs. My fans often help me put my words to music. I don’t only rap, I like many types of music. I recently did a metal song called “Ni Yaam Metal” (“Metal Definition”).

What’s been the feedback so far?
My Facebook fan page currently has about 2,000 followers. Most comments are positive and applaud me for being creative and confident. I recently covered a single by Dome Pakorn, which drew both admiration and “dislikes,” however Dome himself said he liked it on my YouTube. My boss supports what I do as long as I don’t do it during work hours. My family encourages me to pursue what I love. On the other hand, some people say I can’t keep rhythm. Others have much worse things to say. But overall, it’s not so bad, based on the number of people who have contacted me to write songs to promote their products or restaurants. Now I’m one of the MCs at Squeeze Job, a TV program that features interviews with talented people.

Why do your songs attract so many viewers on YouTube?
I think it’s because my songs are original, I generally don’t like to do covers. My songs broaden people’s imagination. I present my own perspective. I want to tell the people who say bad things about me that they shouldn’t get so angry at others as it destroys their spirit and potential. If they want to comment, be reasonable.

What do you think about the rapping culture in Thailand?
It’s too heavy on a single thing: love. They should rap about culture or anything else, really. There’s also no need for rude language because it’s not good for the youth. People download music for free a lot these days which discourages artists from producing top quality songs. I believe we need to enforce a very strict copyright law.

What’s next?
I star as a teacher in the movie Gang Preed Ja Read Jai Ter, from D.O.A. Film, which will be in cinemas this year. I like acting so if there is a good role in a movie, I would like to do it. However, I really just want to produce more music. I want to put out an album, but it’s very difficult due to a lack of funding. On top of all that, I’d really like to have my own TV program to raise awareness about the dangers in society.
