» Though Peeralada Sukawat, best known as Pyra, made her debut in 2016, she found international recognition when her track White Lotus was released in 2018. The soulful electro-pop/R&B singer recently released two new singles, Plastic World and Dystopia, which were produced in Los Angeles with Grammy-nominated producer Sean Hamilton. Guru spoke to Pyra, who recently signed with Warner Music Thailand, about what influences her work and the messages she hopes to convey in her latest singles.

» Having ditched her successful career as a young start-up CEO to pursue music independently, Peeralada Sukawat, mononymously known as Pyra, has a lot to prove both to herself and to her family, who'd rather she took up a 9-to-5 job. "It's more about self-actualisation. I want to see something I expect of myself happen. The more people tell me I can't, the more I want to do it," she asserted in her 2016 interview with the Bangkok Post's now-defunct Saturday supplement Muse, wherein she talked candidly about depression and her frayed relationship with her mother. The piece further illuminates her self-produced debut EP Stray, a stunning release that, while deservedly vouched for by Apple Music Thailand, somehow failed to woo a local radio station because "they couldn't figure out what category I fell into".
