• 1:28
  Speaker 2: How do you come up with it? Tell us. Yeah. OK, well, basically,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: my actual, my actual real name, it's Prayo. It's a
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Thai name.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And I, I was busking in the night markets called
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Naka Night Market, but actually in Tai Tala Ziaofawareti in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that time. OK, I'll get the inflection wrong if I
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: say it not, OK, and then.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: My first stage name is Prao Zhaofa. Prao is my
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: actual name. Zhaofa is the name in the night market.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's in Thai name, so it's called Tala Zhaofa Wati. Yeah.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying to get the thing correct pronunciation.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: It's just one line.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: set the bar higher for me. Yeah, well, yeah, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: then there's so many national people who say my name wrong,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: hard to say, pronounce my name. It was like sometimes
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: like PO Pi Paal Paint. I don't know, so I
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I should change my name. I should have like English name,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: so I decided to put Nanay because that's the easy
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: pronounce and it's a cute name for me and also
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I was so young. I use that name because I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: watched a cartoon. It's like a flamingo cartoon. I think
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I remember that. Is it a Thai cartoon or a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Western cartoon or I think it's like.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Um, let's say I think it's Thai, yeah, and the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: flamingo name is like Nene, and I love that cartoon,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what's the cartoon name, but yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: so I decided to put Nene and the Royal is
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the name in the night market.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So you know jiaofa, but in English it said royal.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like queen rock girl, you know. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I decided to put nene royal. We are definitely with
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the queen right here in the 987 studio. That's such
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a nice backstory. So before we focus on your journey
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: on America's Got Talent.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And I want to ask about your performances on the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: market in in the market. How did that journey even
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: begin in the first place? Did you just pick up
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the guitar one day and went, I want to sing,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and you just did it? Or were you trained? Did
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you practice? How did you start? Well, basically, I started
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: playing guitar since I was 7, but at that time,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know any music. I don't know how to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: play guitar and I don't know what is guitar. I
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: don't know what is bass.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So I don't care about music at that time because
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I want to join like in school summer I wanna
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: join like computer science, math, English. I just wanna study
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that's all but like when I go to to school
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we have to sign the club stuff so I wanna
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: sign Commodore but it's full and they told me like
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it's only music club and I was like.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: What is music? So, so very much if you think
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: about clubs like CCA here in Singapore. So yes, tell
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: us more about the music club then. Yeah, so I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: wanna try some like challenge. It's like maybe like for fun,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I didn't, I didn't expect about it to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: be like performing on busking week. So I go and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the teacher told me like if you want to study
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: there's only guitar lesson and you have, if you want
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to study guitar you have to buy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: The first guitar first and then come to study and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I was like how can I buy that? I don't
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: know where to buy that guitar so I go to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: like some the mall that they have like music instruments
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: so I just buy I bought like a cheaper one
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: it's not like a perfect guitar so.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I played that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: And I start to learn like easy chords, like E minor, C, G, D.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: And then I think I played like 3 days and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I can play 1 song already. So it's called Zombie. Oh,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there we go, which we'll be hearing in just a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: while on 987 and then you learned Zombie and all
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: your other musical influences like all the bands you listen to.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Where did you find them and how did you fall
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in love with this style of music, rock and that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: grungy vocals of yours? Well, basically,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't know about the style of music in that time,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: but I think I was like 9 years old, I guess,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: or 8 or 9. My dad.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Who's in the studio? Yeah, he's right right there. Hello, sir. Paul. Hello.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and my dad, me and my parents, I was
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like sit in the back in the car and my
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: dad was open to radio. He in love rock music.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's like his age, like 90s music or 2000, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, but he opened the songs like his favorite
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: band such as um Deep Purple, ACDCs, you know.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: His his favorite rock music and I was like listen
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and in my mind I was like oh that's kind
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of like fit for me so I decided to tell
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: my dad like I wanna play rock music like this
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: style what you're opening right now and then my dad
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: was like are you sure? Because that was like a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: bit hard for you and I was like I know
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: what you mean like I know that boys that the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: only guy who's playing rock but women can also play
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: rock so.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I, I decided to play rock music and I started
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to play electric guitar.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: So I started to play a first solo piece is
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: called Hotel California by the Eagles. Yes. Can I just
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: say to everyone here who says I have taste in music,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: your argument now is null and null and invalid anymore, OK?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It's null and voided. Uh, how do you take care
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: of your voice? Because the rock star is a very
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: different like and I mean, you performed with Linkin Park
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: on stage as well. I think Emily Armstrong has a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: similar vocal range to you. How do you? Were you
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: even trained or did singing come naturally to you? Well,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Let's say I think the most important it's like to
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: understand how to use your voice and also when you're
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: trying to scream my first time I tried to scream
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and it's a bit hard for me so I practice
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and then I know how to use to scream because
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you have to sing like.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Like in your stomach but not in your neck because
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: every time I thought it was that we have to
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: sing in your neck but it's not you have to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: sing in your stomach so that's how you sing and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: also I.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Um, I always, before I sing, I always used to, um,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: vocal warm up, vocal warm up. OK. And one last
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: question before we take a very quick break. Then when
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: we come back, we'll focus on your America's Got Talent journey. Yeah, um,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the kids around you in the band, were they your friends?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Were they your neighbors, schoolmates, music club? Yeah, wow. And basically,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I was like in.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: The music school and also I don't know who who
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: are they because we're in different school like I'm in
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: international school and they're from like Thai school and there
• 8:26

  Speaker 2: yeah and then.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Um, um, we have a lesson, like a band session,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: so teacher in Yamaha decide to like.

  Speaker 2: And then I love rock and I was so scared. Like,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are they going to love rock music? But actually they really,

  Speaker 2: I don't know how many times, 4 times I guess,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: but like.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: First time America's Got Talent didn't respond to anything, so
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I decided to send 2nd time, no response. 3rd time,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: no response, but 4th time I was like, OK, that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: going to be the last chance for me. So America

• 10:49
  Speaker 2: be here in 2 days or 3 days or a
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: week or how long was the travel time? Uh, it's
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: like 1 month, 1 month, 1 month, but that's too
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: short for me because I need to like prepare the songs.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I decided to, to do zombie for the audition, but basically,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that I'm going to audition like actual
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: performance on that stage because I thought it was like.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I was in a backstage and I saw like a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: stage behind right here, but it's small and like there's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: like 1000 acts and some like team works in America.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So I thought I'm going to perform here. It's like
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: not like in front of the audience, not in front
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: of like 4 judges, Simon, you know, Sophia, Melby, Howie.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: So I thought it was like this performance and if
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I pass, I'm going to go to that performance, that stage.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So basically the team just came to me and said like,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: are you ready to be on stage? And I said, yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So but I asked the question like, am I supposed
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: to be performed here, the back of me, like a
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: small stage and I say, nope. And I was like,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So, what, what is that for? And I said, that's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: the problem.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: That's the prop for like shooting some stuff in like
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes before you go on stage and I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: was like, so which stage am I going? And then
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: she said, follow me. So I walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and then there's like the crowd just scream and I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Am I actually going to perform here? And then she said, yep,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: good luck. And I was like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Girl,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Am I supposed to perform here? And she's like, yeah,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: in front of an audience like 33,000 people and 4 judges.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: So I was like, I didn't expect that. I didn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: imagine that I'm going to be performed in that stage,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: like a big stage for audition, and I'm so, so nervous.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I just walked on stage and then I was speaking
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and my hand was shaking.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Like, hi, my name's Nanay and.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It's so nervous. I don't know what am I going
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: to do. So I decide to be calm, to imagine
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like this stage. It's like a nan a market or
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like think about like that's my concert. That's where I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: perform always. And when I stopped the rave guitar, my
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: nerves was gone. I just enjoy it. And then I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: love the moment that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: When I said sing with me, come on, the zombies songs,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: everyone just stand up and then sing and the judges
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: also sing. So I'm very happy and very successful. I, I,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: I might remember this wrongly. I've seen the video. Nobody
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: pressed the golden buzzer, right? You, you, you got through
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: with 4 yeses, why didn't.

• 13:59
  Speaker 2: to see you on stage with Emily Armstrong, who's an
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: equal like rocker girl as well.

  Speaker 2: And if I'm not wrong, there was a story online
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: saying that how Linkin Park actually were not free, but
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: when they found out it was you, they made time
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: in their schedule to play alongside you. If I'm not wrong,
