About Sonchai Mekwichian

Hailing from Khorat, Thailand. Sonchai Mekwichian, like many luk thung stars from the 70's and on, got his start singing at local talent competitions. in this manner he gained a good a bit of popularity around Isan, culminating in a few TV appearances and such, though his real break would be one of pure luck. during a tour up-country, luk thung songwriter Chalong Phusawang happened to require some auto work, and brought his car to the very mechanics' where Sonchai worked his day job. with his car in-shop, Sonchai managed to perform a tune or so for the songwriter, and though his voice wasn't much to Chalong's taste, Chalong's wife, who was also in attendance, was so taken with the young singer that the maestro had little choice but to accept him.
