NuNew on Whether Acting or Singing Makes Him More Nervous: ‘If You Make a Mistake, That’s It’
Thai singer and actor NuNew says live singing is more nerve-racking in a different way because there is no chance to redo a performance if he makes a mistake. He discussed balancing acting and music after performing at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium, where he sang tracks including “Heartquake”.
NuNew said he discovered his singing ability around age 19 or 20 after people responded positively to his song covers, which encouraged him to release original music. He also described “Kata”, his duet with Bowkylion, as a painful song about loving someone who is in love with another person; Bowkylion arranged the music to add brightness and a positive element.
