Alunda Chantharattachoke (born 1999) is also known as Unda Alunda. He is a Thai guitarist and songwriter.
Educational background
Unda Alunda has been studying jazz music since he was fifteen years old. He received first-class honors in theory and ear training when he took the exam at Mahidol University's College of Music, Thailand's leading music university, since he was in grade 10 and graduated with a bachelor's degree.
Although having studied jazz music extensively and known many jazz artists for a long time, he always had a very distinct perspective on music than others.
He arranged music based on spirituality, imagination, creativity, and sentiments rather than the theory or the conservative mind had received many moons ago.
His music was unrestrained and indescribable These are the obvious reasons why he was unable to describe the genre of his music. People refer to them as rock, progressive rock, jazz, fusion, and so on, and he occasionally agrees. As a result, he is unclear of his musical styles; he always focuses on, "What is the voice he wants to listen to?".
