Billkin has officially brought his “Orange Light” to Singapore.
Just before his amazing FEELQUENCY tour stop at at Arena @ EXPO, the Thai multi-hyphenate sat down with Bandwagon to talk about returning to the city, connecting with fans through music and film, and what his next chapter might sound like.

For Billkin, Singapore has always felt close to home. “Thailand and Singapore, we're very close in many, many terms,” he shared, pointing to food and culture as some of the reasons why the city feels familiar. “I just feel very comfy being here every time.”
The concert marked Billkin’s first solo show in Singapore, following previous festival appearances. Known for his work across music and acting, Billkin started out in the entertainment industry under Nadao Bangkok, before appearing in projects such as Please... Siang Riak Winyan, My Ambulance, and I Told Sunset About You. His role as M in How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies introduced him to even wider audiences.
Looking back on M, a character who is lost and still finding his way, Billkin admits there is one habit that stayed with him after filming wrapped.
“Maybe the laziness of M,” he said with a laugh. “I just want to sleep for 10 to 12 hours nowadays.”
But if he could give M one piece of advice now, Billkin would tell him to step out into the world.
“Go out, explore a lot of things, and try to put yourself into many, many circumstances,” he said. “Some days, you might face something that is beyond your expectation.”
That same openness to discovery is also shaping Billkin’s music. For his upcoming album, the singer shared that he has been trying a new way of writing and creating songs, including working through song camps with his producer and collaborators.
“I think we have extracted a lot of new interesting things from the session,” he shared. “I love it so much and I just hope that it's gonna work with the audience as well.”
As he took the stage for his first solo concert in Singapore, Billkin kept his hopes for the night simple.
“I'm here just to tell my story, sing my song and perform my show,” he said. “I just hope that they're gonna have a good time back home and create good memories.”
