How would you describe your sound?
When I first became passionate about music, I was listening British outfits like The Smiths and The Jam. So I’m a product of that kind of sound.

Tell us about how your latest project got started.
This is my first solo album. I had composed some of the songs for Day Tripper but they were never used. Later, I met and hung out with Pong and Patrice and we started talking about putting together a band. So I picked up those songs again to use here.

How is the sound different from Day Tripper?
Day Tripper’s music was composed by Tuan and me. Tuan’s songs were influenced by heavy metal, while mine were more like 70s-80s Brit and punk. So this album will definitely be more Brit rock and nu-wave as it’s been composed solely by me. But yeah, it can’t be exactly the same as I listen to new things all the time.

What else are you doing?
Everything related to music: composing music for advertising, spot dubbing, DJing at Prop Bar, Green Space and Motorcycle Emptiness Bar and other composing jobs.

What do you think of today’s music scene?
There are more opportunities for bands, because Thai people are more open to new things. Crub was the very first Thai indie band, in the 90s, and it was hard to find places to play live, and people didn’t seem to understand the songs. Now we are in the social networking age; it’s easy to be famous and be accepted. Technology has however tortured music careers a bit as people download songs instead of buying them.

What has been your best moment as an artist?
When I worked with Crub. At that time, when we recorded, we had to play everything live, while now the computer makes things a lot easier. I loved that feeling when everything seemed fresh and you could really feel the music.
