Two artists from the '70s top the list of nominees for the Kom Chad Luek Awards
Musician from the ’70s Soontaree Vechanont and Pongprom Snitwong na Ayuthaya are back in the spotlight these days with topping the list of the nominations of the 11th Kom Chad Luek Awards with three and two nods apiece respectively.
Pongprom, a songwriter behind the success of many contemporary, goes up against fellow singers Jirasak “Maew” Panphum, Singto Numchok, Apiwat “Stamp” Eurthavornsuk, and Nakarin “Pang” Kingsak in the Best Male Artist category and has also won nods for Best Song for “Jakrawal Khong Chan.”
“I recorded this album as a souvenir of my wedding but my wife felt it should go on general release,” says Pongprom, a former member of Tawan band. “I wrote this love song ‘Jakrawal Khong Chan’ for her.”
Soontaree, who found fame with the late Chiang Mai-born folk artist Jaran Manopetch in the 1970s, is nominated for Best Female Artist along with Saovanit Navapan, Jurairat Gurdpanya, Ornaree Jurarat, and her daughter Lanna Commins, as well as for Best Album for “Pleng Klom Loke” (“World’s Lullaby”) and Best Song for “Pleng Klom Loke.”
Scrubb, Stamp, Blackhead, Desktop Error, Passakorn Morasilpin and Wisuwat Pruksavanich each have two nominations apiece.
In the Popular Vote category, Popular Artist nods have gone to youngsters Napat “Gun” Injaieua, Isariya “Hun” Patharamanop, Warawut “Tum” Poyim, Tanatat “Kangsom” Chaiaat of the “The Star” and True Academy Fantasia alumni Nontanun “Kacha” Anchuleepradit and Puriwat “Tungbeer” Teerachat.
Supanat “Aof” Chalermchaijaroenkij is expected to win the award for Popular Luk Thung Artist for the fourth time, though he’s up against stiff competition from Paowalee “Pao” Pornpimon, Suthirat “Kung” Wongthewan, Yinglee Srichumpol and Pai Pongsathorn.
The winners will be announced at Bitec Bangna on Wednesday.
