What inspired you to start singing?
I just love singing and I’m always happy when I sing. I do admire singer-and-composer Wan [Thanakrit Panichawit]. The way he writes songs is so special; he talks about love so naturally.

Why did you start uploading your clips on YouTube?
It wasn’t originally my idea, it came from my older brother. He always said that I sing beautifully and have a sweet voice, so he just wanted to upload some video clips to show his friends that I really sing well. I didn’t agree at first because I was too shy, but he kept on at me until I said yes. The first clips that I uploaded last year are songs that I wrote. But the one that gained attention from everyone was when I covered Jesse J’s “Price Tag” with my brother playing acoustic guitar. It blew me away when we saw the views go from a few hundred to 20,000 in a couple days. It’s now nearly 1.5 million views. My parents were even more surprised because they didn’t think that I sang that well.

How do you feel about your unexpected popularity?
It’s unbelievable. We never expected it to go this far. When we see how much people love it, we just can’t stop making new clips to upload. I’m overjoyed when I read comments like “I feel so refreshed after hearing your voice.” I am really grateful.

How did Dome [Pakorn Lum] approach you?
His assistant got in touch. It’s such a surprise. He’s a super star! He wants to work with me because he really likes my voice. We finally did his song “Kid Tueng” and released it on YouTube. We’re also doing another project together as well.

What do you do when you’re not singing?
I am studying in grade 10 in Trang province but now I am planning to move to study in Bangkok. It’s more convenient for me to study and work as a singer at events like wedding receptions or parties. I will live with my brother who is studying at KMUTT Ladkrabang.

Do you ever think about entering some reality TV competition?
No, I don’t like being on stage, it’s too much pressure for me. I don’t like to compete with others, even if it’s just a competition at school. I just love to sing where people hire me to sing.

What is your biggest dream?
I want to be a singer, of course, but I know it’s a fleeting career. I can do it only for a limited amount of time in my life so I need to find a long-term career that I can always earn a living from. I want to be an accountant because I really like math. I want to be an accountant first, then I will chase my dream of being a singer.
