The artist looks back on her life.
Seephrai Mungphanklang, better known as the Thai techno behemoth Nakadia, has just released her official autobiography. Titled ‘Positive Energy – Becoming Nakadia’, the book provides a deep insight into her journey from an underpriviledged, rural Thai girl to a international superstar. It’s the ‘motivating story of a self-made artist with an unstoppable spirit who made her dreams come true by relentlessly pushing through obstacles, prejudice and life between cultures, always with a smile on her face’.
‘The book vividly describes Nakadia’s ups and downs, her triumphs and her disasters. It captures the moment she discovered techno and knew she was born to be a techno DJ, the hours spent relentlessly practicing and crafting her sound, and the constant barrage of musical, political, social and sexual prejudice that made it seem, at times, like her career was over. But she never gave up, following her dream without taking any shortcuts. ‘Positive Energy’ is a truly inspiring and highly personal biography, a tale about embracing opportunities without fear, and a belief in the power of positive energy’, further explains Sebastian Lehmann, Nakadia’s manager and co-author.
‘‘Positive Energy’ is the story of my life, and I hope it will inspire people to stay optimistic in these difficult times’, says Nakadia herself about the autobiography.
The book will be officially released on March 31st, but a limited pre-sale edition is now available here.
