I’ve never tried to create a strange or unique image. Let people think what they like. Those who know me know better.

I never think of adopting anyone’s singing style. If I listen to a song, I will try to find a way to sing better than the singer, in my own way.

I search for my way of singing from what I have—trying to challenge myself with how to use my voice on another level.

The most important thing is to have faith and promise to yourself you will never copy anyone. Only that will lead you to the confidence to create your unique voice.

The ones who don’t know me have a fixed idea of what I would be like. Many think, with my look, that I smoke and drink. Honestly I don’t do either.

Many people say they don’t know what I sing and they aren’t used to the way Sukie mixed the vocal sound to be almost inaudible. That’s why I write a guide of how to listen to my albums in the CD covers.

You have to change the way you listen to music. Think of classical or instrumental music—you don’t know its content but you know that it feels slow or fast, sad or happy, dim or lively. Don’t think of the lyrics; practice your sense of listening.

I change my singing style on every album. It’s like a memoir of my journey in the past year.

Many thought I would be extreme and wouldn’t be able to do something commercial. But I can, to earn a living, do things like TV commercial singing. I just have to make it clear to myself that those jobs aren’t mine and I’m just an employee.

Frankly, my CDs don’t earn me much money. I just want to create a cycle; I sell my album to gain some money to do the next one.

I don’t expect to get rich making music.

I am sufficient with what I do. I want to grow 20 degrees at a time, bit by bit. So that if I fall, it won’t be too high to climb up again on my own legs. I want to grow and blossom gradually in my way.

I am so annoyed that Thai students have to wear short ear-level hair. Some teachers are mental enough to cut the students’ hair. I don’t see how hair is relevant to studying.

The last time I had a haircut was 19 years ago.

I don’t know when I started to think about other religions and why no adults ever asked me what religion I wanted to be. I started to find out more about other religions and ended up being a Hindu.

At the end of my life when I don’t have anything left, famous or not, I will still have the voice in my soul that can take me to God, to Nirvana. That’s why I was born a chanter.
