What interests you in reality TV? Is this a case of career burnout?
This is just me taking a break from the music world. Since the transition from Bakery to LOVEiS, the repetitiveness and overworking took a toll on me both physically and professionally. I was searching for new inspiration and visions. As far as a career on TV, how can a man who can’t act set foot into the acting world? That would leave me with the only option, reality TV.
How did you come up with the show?
It all started from a shopping trip for a motorcycle with my son. Then, it just turns into my free-time favorite with several of my friends getting involved. One thing led to another, and the next thing we knew is we started putting it together into a TV production.
What is behind the concept of Dreamchaser?
This TV concept is relatively new in Thailand with hybrid between reality and documentary. It is more in-depth documentary with fresher presentation. The show is about people whose dreams become goals and then become realities. These are the people who think outside the box, and favor less conventional approaches in life. Throughout the trip, we will be able to explore each destination and participate with the locals. Being an observer is not on our agenda, but rather being a partaker. We have set the bar high for ourselves, and hope the show to be a source of inspiration for our audiences.
What is the focal point of the show?
With the combination of both reality and documentary, the show is able to offer its originality of unscripted, uncensored and unplanned production. The variety of my guests—just to name a few, J Montonn Jira, Boyd Kosiyabong, and Nana Reibena—will also present a wide range of interests for our audiences.
The concept of the show is really similar to Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round.
I had heard of Long Way Round before, and the format and presentation of both shows are fairly similar as far as riding on motorcycles traveling around. I faced the same kind of criticism when releasing my albums. Regardless, what really matters is that you just give it your best shot and deliver the best to your fans.
What is your next project after the completion of the show?
Being in the music industry is my childhood dream, which has been fulfilled. At this moment, I am detached and ready to take on any opportunity. My family is also extremely important to me. I am planning on getting more involved with my family’s business. I am getting interested in real estate after watching The Apprentice.
