“Back to Root” is my first album under the name Kan-Ta.
In this album, I share my life and different moments through the Pi Nora, a traditional instrument that has been with me since I was young. It is the instrument that brought me to many experiences and journeys in life.

Later, when I moved to Bangkok for my studies, I was exposed to many kinds of music. I started experimenting with the Pi Nora in many ways—until, at some point, there was barely anything Nora left in it.

At one point, I began to ask myself: Who am I, really?
So I looked back—14 years ago—when I first started playing Nora music. I thought about what life was like back then, and how I felt during that time.

I brought those memories and feelings into this album. For me, using the Pi Nora is the most honest way to express myself and to let people understand who I am.
