GALCHANIE has been making waves in Thailand’s pop industry with her soulful voice, unique style, and bold artistic vision. From her 2022 solo debut to her recent success as part of the DREAMGALS project group, GALCHANIE continues to defy gravity and push musical boundaries. With the release of her latest single, “Baby Tee”, and major brand collaborations coupled with electrifying performances at festivals, GALCHANIE is proving to be a multifaceted artist. KCrush America Magazine sat down with GALCHANIE to discuss her evolving career, creative process, and what fans can expect next.
What inspired you to pursue a music career and how would you describe your evolution as an artist since your debut?
I’ve always loved music since I was a kid. I was fascinated by how songs can express emotions and connect people. When I started making music, I fell in love with the creative processes like writing, producing, and bringing ideas to life.
Since my debut, I’ve grown a lot, both in my sound and how I approach my work. But one thing that hasn’t changed is my passion for creating meaningful music that resonates with people. Now, I’m stepping forward more as an artist, which feels like a big and exciting step in my journey.
Tell us a little about yourself when you are not in artistic mode. What about your travels and/or do you consider yourself a homebody?
I’m definitely more of a homebody, but I’m always learning and exploring new things online. This year, I’m hoping to pick up some new hobbies and get out more to experience things in person, let’s see how that goes! Haha.
Your solo debut in August 2022 featured the singles “Hide” and “Yok Yai.” What is your songwriting process like? Do you start with a melody, lyrics, or a concept first?
My songwriting process isn’t always the same, it depends on the song. Sometimes I start with a concept or a feeling I want to capture, and other times, a melody or a lyric just comes to me, and I build around that. With Hide and Yok Yai, I wanted to create songs that felt raw and honest, so the lyrics and mood played a big role from the beginning. But no matter how a song starts, I always focus on making sure it tells a story and connects with people in a real way.
How did the special project group DREAMGALS come into existence and what has been the most rewarding aspect of collaborating with MILLI and Flower. far in DREAMGALS?
DREAMGALS started when MILLI saw a clip of me and Flower.far singing together. She had the idea that we should make a song as a trio, and everything just flowed from there.
The best part of working with them is how much we inspire and push each other. We all bring different strengths to the table, but somehow, it just works. It’s been so fun creating music together and seeing people enjoy what we’ve made.
In January 2025, you released “ก็พอ (Enough)” single whose MV was filmed in Japan. What was the inspiration behind this song and its visual setting?
This song was written during a time when I was heartbroken. I did a lot of self-reflection and realized that sometimes, just being here and seeing the people you love happy is enough even if you can’t have them for yourself. That’s how the song came about.
As for the music video, we had the chance to film it in Japan, at various tourist spots. The vibe of the song really matched the locations, and the Japanese crew was so kind and wonderful to work with!
Congratulations on the latest “Baby Tee” single. How would you describe this lyrical masterpiece in a few words?
Thank you! “Baby Tee” is a fun, playful love song with a touch of sexy energy. It’s all about confidence, independence, and embracing who you are, while keeping things cute and flirty. It’s got that mix of empowerment, style, and a little bit of attitude, all wrapped up in a sweet love vibe.
You’ve collaborated with several artists like Nulbarich on the “Floatin” track remix. How do such collaborations come by and how do they influence your musical growth?
It started when Nulbarich wanted to do a remix with a Thai artist. He had the chance to listen to my music and really liked it, so we ended up collaborating. It was such a great experience working with him!
Working with different artists helps me grow by exposing me to new ideas and sounds I might not have explored on my own. Every collaboration teaches me something new about music and about pushing my own boundaries, which keeps me evolving as an artist.
You’ve been part of both the T-pop and international music scenes. How do you see T-pop evolving globally?
I think T-Pop is growing and getting noticed globally right now. We have our own unique Thai style, whether it’s in the visuals or the music. I really hope the charm of T-Pop gets recognized worldwide soon!
You’ve collaborated with several brands. How do you balance maintaining your artistic integrity while partnering with commercial brands?
Balancing artistic integrity with brand partnerships is about staying true to myself. I work with brands that fit my style and values, so it feels natural. As long as it aligns with my vision, it’s all about keeping things authentic and genuine.
You’ve performed at events like the RIMPHA MUSIC FESTIVAL alongside other DREAMGALS members. How do you prepare for such large-scale performances? Are there any festivals or events on your bucket list where you’d love to perform?
Preparing for big performances like the RIMPHA MUSIC FESTIVAL means a lot of practice and coordination with the team. We focus on making everything perfect for the audience.
As for my bucket list, I’d love to perform at HITC one day! It would be such an amazing experience!
“From Now It’s My Turn” track has a powerful aura from the unapologetic lyrics. What was the inspiration behind this musical piece?
“From Now It’s My Turn” was inspired by my experience in a toxic relationship. It’s about breaking free, reclaiming my power, and moving forward without looking back. I wanted the song to feel bold and unapologetic, representing strength and self-worth.
For our readers and your fans, is there anything you would like them to know about you that they might not know already?
I just want to let everyone know that I’m actually a lot more soft and sweet than I might seem! Hahaha! I know my appearance can come off as bold and fierce, and sometimes I don’t smile much when I meet people, but honestly, I’m not mad or anything it’s just my natural face! LOL
What’s the biggest goal you have yet to achieve in your career?
One of my biggest goals is to be recognized as a top artist and to have my work acknowledged on a global scale. I want to be that little spark that helps girls feel confident and inspires every one through the work I do. Making people feel good about themselves and empowered that’s the dream! and hopefully be nominated for The Best Female Artist of the Year someday. There’s still so much I want to accomplish, and I’m excited for the journey ahead!
As an artist, where do you see yourself in the next five years?
In the next five years, I see myself continuing to make music that really connects with people. I want to grow my influence in the music world and maybe try out some other creative projects too. Most importantly, I want to keep inspiring others, especially young women, to chase their dreams and be true to themselves. It’s all about growth, exploring new things, and leaving a positive mark!
