Hi, I’m a Thai/Filipino singer/songwriter. These days when I record, I prefer to go by 'MaGana'. Pleased to make your acquaintance through music. In Thailand, I’m mostly known as Michael Sawatsewi. In my youth, I released a Thai pop album, ‘Sawasdee… Michael’ (สวัสดี... ไมเคิล), mostly recognized for the hit songs ‘Pood La Sak Kam’ (พูดลาสักคำ) and ‘Cheb Krao Nee’ (เจ็บคราวนี้). Here in Bangkok, I’ve written and sung for for a slew of Thai mainstream & independent recording artists, while also frequently collaborated with my good friends—Cyndi Seui & Gramaphone Children (of Kitsch Cat); Thai/Italian singer Debbie K, and Thai/British comedian & TV host Chris Wright.

Here, I get to indulge my passion for singing and writing… in English. I feature some new originals (a few new ones in Thai), as well as collabs with amazing musicians I’ve gotten to befriend via SoundCloud—Aixe, Lintwahn and Count Effectz (Australia); The B Regiment (Bangladesh); Mark Dorricott aka markd4321 (UK); and XTRAFUNK (Germany), among others. I’ve also done some covers as well as some re-sung mashups.

So have a listen, and hope you like what you hear. You can also find me on <a href="http://facebook.com/maganamusic">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/michaelsawatsewi">Instagram</a>, <a href="http://youtube.com/mikeagana">YouTube</a>, LINE as MaGana4477, and maybe eventually what other form of social media site I hope I don’t forget the password to. I’m usually up for collabs & networking, so if you’re ever interested in a collab, songwriting or vocal-wise, inbox me. Thanks for your time, and more power & music to ya!
