I knew I wanted to be a musician when...
I was 15 years old. I formed a rock band with my high school mate and we played around the city. Plus my uncle, Tewan Supsanyakorn, is a top Thai jazz saxophonist and my family supported me to go Berklee College of Music to pursue a career in music.

Your sound and approach to music:
Completely original and new for jazz music. I don't want to sound like someone else. I picked jazz because I can play what I want to hear from my instrument and not play what I don't want to hear. Composing music, improvising, practicing, and inventing is just one process. What I compose and play is what I am working on without any preconceived notions about anything. That's the way that I keep myself fresh in order to learn new things all the time.

Your teaching approach:
I like throwing my students to a place that is out of nowhere, so they can start figuring out things by themselves. After that, I expand their ideas and try to push them to dig into them more.
