My Life As Ali Thomas
My Life As Ali Thomas didn’t have a beginning, though it took up to early 2013 for ‘Pie’ Kanyapak Wuttara to fully realize it was always there. The true meaning of Ali Thomas lies in Greek roots, which translates to ‘another twin’. This is the name she gave to the songstress in isolation, which she felt was in true contrast her waking life.When the songs she created in her bedroom became concrete, so did Ali Thomas. Her acoustic guitar and soulful voice resonates a longing for creative realization and old lovers, and bleeds a refreshing emotional honesty. In 2014, Kong Suvarnapradip, founder of Bangkok’s legendary indie bar Cosmic Café, introduced Pie to ‘Rack’ Wipata Lertpanya. This is when My Life As Ali Thomas took shape into its genre-bending form, combining Rack’s ambient, Brit rock style, to Pie’s folk sensibilities. Rack then brought over a drummer, and together with Pie formed a trio and was ready to perform live acts.
