After earning a PhD in Classical Piano Performance from Rice University, he toured as a concert pianist in the US before returning to Bangkok to invest in young talent. His coaching has resulted in a large number of his piano students winning top prizes in major international piano competitions at his school Piano Academy of Bangkok. Chris is also the CEO of Chris The Pianist Co Ltd, a production company with a focus on the arts. His latest challenge came in the form of his first feature-length documentary movie. Not only did he have to navigate through the challenges posed by Covid-19 during filming and meet the deadline, but his son was also born prematurely during the same period. The documentary, Pain of Silence—for which he directed, produced, composed the music, handled cinematography, and edited—was presented at the Carmarthen Bay Film Festival, a BAFTA qualifying short film festival. The film was awarded best Documentary at the festival and was one of only three chosen to be nominated. Another feature-length movie is in the pipeline. His artistic inspiration is the film The Seven Samurai for its timeless artistic perfection. He hopes one day to create a music platform providing education and equipment for those in need.
