Quotes
“I don’t just want to be an artist because I like it. I want to sing and do music because I want to connect with my listeners, I want to share my emotions with them, my happiness, my pain and everything in between. I want them to feel like I’m there for them and feel them when sometimes no one is.”
“Iāve loved music ever since I can remember.”
“While I started out in acting as an extra in commercials and TV spots, I realised I wanted to try something else. So at age 11, I went to compete in a singing competition, and that led me to really spark my passion in music and desire to pursue it as more than a hobby.”
“If I didnāt go down this route, I think I might have become a professional swimmer instead. I actually did that for 4 years when I was younger, and weād go around different cities in Germany to compete.Ā
“I might have become a designer and went into fashion, because I remember how I loved seeing my mum do that when I was a kid.ā
“Passcode really marked a new chapter in my life. Even though Iāve done songs in English before, that was mostly as an independent artist, where Iād invest with my own personal finances and do most things by myself.”
“I started with music when I was 12, thatās when I started my YouTube channel. Back then, I was already in a (Thai) label but I was still a trainee so I had a lot of free time. Thatās why I started my YouTube channel. Thatās where it pretty much took off.”
“I try to make my music as inspirational as possible. So I guess itās inspirational? haha.”
“My mom is the one who sparked my passion for music for me. She always liked me to sing karaoke since I was 3 years old and I loved it.”
“My musical influences are mostly female singers, say Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande. I think they all are amazing performers and watching their shows is just mesmerizing. I hope I can entertain as good as them one day.”
“Ā I basically can read-write-speak 3 languages which is English, German and Thai. That comes from being mixed-race (German-Thai) and my parents speaking to me/each other in different languages. I would really want to learn more languages but currently Iām super busy!”
“I actually wanna act in a horror movie, either a ghost or slasher movie. I just love that stuff. I love playing terrified I guess lol. I would love to play something like the main actress in the movie Orphan!”
“Always try to find a way to get closer to your dream. Donāt just wait for opportunities, you need to run to them. Anything you do wonāt be for nothing, I believe that anything that God has put into your heart is for a purpose.”
