Chamras Saewataporn
Chamras Saewataporn (born in Bangkok, Thailand on December 9, 1955), is an accomplished Thai musician and composer.He has composed more than a thousand songs, of which about a hundred were played as theme songs in movies. He won many times for domestic and international awards like The Best Music from 32nd Asia-Pacific Film Festival 1987 Taipei. "But many awards and money should not be the goal of a musician."
Chamras once said that he believes his musical creation belongs to the whole world. "Should I die and be re-incarnated, I wish I could listen to my own music." He further explains, "Nothing in this world belongs to us. Not even ourselves nor our creation.. it is all duty.. some lesser some greater."
