BiB012: Those Who Wish to Sing, Always Find a Song With Napak Boonruang
Music is the life for a great many people, but it's only for a select few that it actually provides a livelihood. Napak Boonruang, better known as Dom, is one of the people who can count themselves among the lucky talented few.
Running three different bands, she has taken music from just a fun passion to a business that supports herself and her family upcountry. In this episode, she talks about making her way from Thailand's countryside to the capital, from her first steps after arriving at a temple school to venturing in the world of music.
The first band Dom started back in her days at an all-girls high school exists to this very day: The Unicorn Girl Band. Since then, she's launched her own solo acoustic act and founded another band called 'The Grumps'. She and her bands have made a name for themselves in Bangkok and at contests in the region.
