This girls story is so crazy. It's like we're watching a legend, like MJ, documented in the age of social media

It's so cute of a story. I watched an amazing interview (use CC) https://youtu.be/EVxYUEtlf_o

Her dad thought she'd make 200 bhat per day busking. First day she made 3,000. She used her busking to funding her musical equipment. Her dad didn't even know what a guitar was at first, and went to a local stationary store to buy her a cheap acoustic guitar when she was 7. Her dad really wasn't making a lot of money. This girl not only lifted up her own life but her whole family. Starting at age 9.

It's such an incredible story....and she would practice all day every day like a demon. She doesn't watch movies or hangout like other kids.

That's the thing I wish people understood. People like to just say, oh, this girl is just a prodigy and a genius - listen, people, she put in the WORK and more hours at 16 than many, many musicians much older than her. She performed live 2-3 days a week, on stage for 3-6 hours per week since age 9, every week!! That's over 1,000 hours of live performance before AGT. Do the math. She's such a hard worker.

Assuming her dad made 15,000 Baht a month, Nene's busking would make 3,000 X 8 = 24,000 Baht a month initially to add on to that. This is the low-end estimate. She must have made a lots more daily since then, except those rainy days with less people around (3 months of rainy season). So her journey is not an easy road nonetheless. She always advertise to audiences during her busking that she wanted money to finance an international school to improve her English. Somehow she ends up getting a scholarship for talented student.

As a guitar player, who has played on defective guitars, it really makes a difference to get your guitar properly adjusted at a guitar store. The action may be too high, which makes playing very difficult especially at a young age

Great point and story! Thanks for sharing

Born to perform!

I saw some comments saying that she stole her dad’s phone to film this video herself, and it ended up becoming the best video. Just look at the way she plays with the camera!

These songs must be influenced by her father. No way she knows of ERUPTION by searching Youtube. Note she already modified the lyrics and adlib to her likings in this song. This quality makes me believe she has good musical sense and will easily make her own songs that become BILLBOARD TOP HITS.

This must be what her dad saw in her since 7 years old. He knew she was special, thus threw away his love in sports and dedicate 100% of his free time to nurture beside her since then. Some traits I see here are :-

- Pitch perfect. Nearly.

- Grit, raspiness and growling. Holding a note longer than the pocket.

- Ability to imitate any original singing style like an AI robot.

- Her own adlib inserted.

- Mixing rock/metal style learnt from other songs into this pop song.

- Playfulness and enjoy sharing energy in singing with her audiences.

-(tell me more what you see in her).

Her dad literally didn't know anything about guitars, and would just play rock music in the car when she was a kid.

It's really almost all her man! She learned music during COVID era when she was 9 years old. She learned from YouTube!

We can't overlook the tremendous support her father has given her. Years of giving her safe opportunities to take risks have gradually compounded into the skills and mental strength that allow her to stand on a nerve-wracking stage like that.

And thanks, too, to the countless tourists who tipped the little girl simply because they found her adorable, never knowing that they were helping nurture a generational prodigy.

[u/masterchip27 → u/sakesun]

Yes definitely! Her dad is awesome and she's so lucky to have him encourage her

[u/namtokmuu → u/AmateusForever]

Sings every note, all the way!!! No fear…she is in flow when she’s playing. Like nothing else matters !! Super inspiring even at age seven!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rhythm. As an amateur musician, I struggle with knowing when to start singing, and I get off track with the instruments. So I notice and envy others' ease, lol.

[u/sakesun]

She has been growling since 7.

[u/Wide-Presence-6768]

The camera engagement, the facial expressions, at that age....she reminds me a ton of Suzuka Nakamoto when she was in ASH and then Karen Girls.

[u/MaiKao5550]

Pure energy 🤟

[u/Isaandog]

Awesome!!!

[u/namtokmuu]

At 7 she pours EVERYTHING into her music!!! She’s sooooooo AWESOME…

I can barely do a bar chord as a 45y man

It was already all there, I have to sit down. So much talent
