Dr Paye is the first ever recipient of HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana Classical Music Funds, and the first Thai violinist to perform at Carnegie Hall with the Grammy-award winning Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. With his musician sisters he formed the Vietrio group and music school. An entrepreneurial musician, Dr Paye is music director of the Thai Youth Orchestra, successfully taking it into international competition, while transforming it into a social enterprise. He is proud that TYO was the first orchestra to emerge out of lockdown to perform 20 concerts last year, much in line with his goal of taking Thai musicians global and raising the bar in music education. Lately he has also had a very visible online presence with Jeeb Ensemble, a group of young professional musicians who make classical music more accessible to the younger generation. He credits Mozart—his birth date twin—for influencing his music, his father for introducing him to the violin and Picasso for making him think outside the box. In his free time, he might be cheering for Arsenal, checking out Blinkist, or seriously working out.
