About Unda Alunda

Have you ever heard a song that seems to understand you better than you understand yourself?

When was the last time you truly felt like yourself?

Sometimes, there is something within us that cannot be explained.

It is not words.

It is not logic.

Yet it knows us deeply and clearly,

even in moments when we barely recognize who we are.

Unda Alunda first began hearing these sounds as a child. At the age of eleven, he started using the guitar as his own language. Since then, sound has become both his voice and his way of existing in the world.

At fifteen, he began formally studying jazz music. He later earned top honors in both Music Theory and Ear Training at the College of Music, Mahidol University, where he studied from high school through graduation.

From a young age, Unda believed that creating music free from bias and stylistic limitation— music that truly honors spirit, imagination, creativity, and feeling above tradition or theory— requires deep knowledge and discipline first.

Only then can control be released, the body allowed to speak, and music allowed to emerge simply as sound.

Sometimes that sound appears as a single note. Sometimes as a long, stretching silence. And sometimes as a question he continues to ask himself:

"Without music, would I still be me?"

Throughout his childhood, Unda spent ten to fifteen hours a day practicing guitar, and he began composing music not long after.

Over time, those sounds were shaped and refined, slowly built through the hands of a nineteen-year-old. They became songs, melodies, and eventually a safe place— where he could feel completely and quietly himself.

In his early twenties, Unda began spending more time living. He gathered real experiences, sought inspiration, and met new people, each leaving their own trace behind.

Whether through joy or sorrow, light or darkness, music has always been the vessel through which he expresses who he is. It continues to carry him, just as it did in the beginning.

All of these sounds eventually came together as his first full-length album:
