BK: Who is your musical inspiration?
My music experience started when I was in grade 3 as the violinist for the school orchestra at Vachiravudh College. After six years in that position, I found it boring, so I quit and switched to vocals. One day, during my first year at ABAC, my friends gave me a Damien Rice CD, and I was enlightened. I found my style and real inspiration. Other inspirations would be Jack Johnson, Lenny Kravitz, Moderndog and Thee Chaiyadej.

BK: How did you go pro?
My friend Tee [vocalist from Jetset’er] asked me to join an acoustic competition at ABAC. We formed a band with Sunny [Sunny Suwanmethanon, actor] and won the runner up prize. Our band, Side Project, ultimately split when I went to Sweden to do my master’s degree.

BK: Do you have a full-time job?
Well, I used to have one as a business consultant, and I would also keep playing music at bars after work. But it was too overwhelming. I couldn’t keep up both a full-time day job and play gigs at night. I had to make a decision, so I quit my day job. I played at Cosmic Café and met Ping [Monotone’s drummer], who asked me to sing on Monotone’s album, Rean Chen Tan Poo Mee Sit Jab Pla. I jumped at the opportunity.

BK: You took a huge risk quitting your job.
Playing music and working a “real” job evoke quite different feelings. I just think I’m a better version of myself in music than as a consultant. I don’t care about being rich. I’d rather be doing something I love as long as I can make a decent living. Plus, I love the feeling when my music moves someone.

BK: How did you get involved with Lazy Sunday 2?
DJ Aui [Fat Radio] asked me to audition for Krit [Kritsanawarin] after seeing me play at Stu-Fe with Singhto Numchoke. I was really nervous about the audition because that sweet style of singing, like Praew Kanitkul or even Bell Suphon, isn’t my kind of thing. I was surprised when Krit called me and said I had got the job.

BK: So what’s next?
Actually, I have another album that is coming out at the same time as Lazy Sunday 2 called Zor Nok Hook Ta To, which is a joint project with the Monotone crew. Apart from that, I’m now working on four more projects: a duo album with Ping Monotone, my own album, putting together a new band called Wai Roon Yod Niyom with some friends, and playing gigs as guitarist with Tue’sday this year.
