BRIGHT VACHIRAWIT IS ONE OF THE ASIAN INFLUENCERS who inspires his fans with his work and style. From a man who ran around the town to do all the castings, today Bright is a successful actor, singer, and businessman. Not only because of his talent—he also puts so much effort into everything he does to reach his goals at his best.
Vogue: This year, we have seen you release more music which seems like you’re gearing up high in your career path. In your opinion, where do you think you are in your career and what is your next goal?
B: To me, I think I’m at the very beginning of my career. I even feel like a new artist. There many things that I want to do. My dream would be to have a solo concert tour, such as a world tour, for my fans in many different countries. Singing is something which brings me a lot of joy. It’s different from acting, you know, because with acting you’re on set with a camera and have to wait for audience’s feedback after the release. But with singing on stage, I get to feel my fans’ energy and response right away as I’m performing. There’s nothing else like that and it’s become something I’m very fond of. Each time before I go on stage, I get an adrenaline rush and it makes me want to go out and meet everyone [smiles]. Singing is also something that helps me get to know myself better and better understand my identity. Before, I sang a song that someone wrote for me, but recently I’ve had the opportunity to work behind the scenes and help with constructing my own music.
V: If music inspired you to connect with yourself, what about acting?
