Hugo Sessions
Recording sessions for the upcoming Hugo record on Roc Nation have just been completed. We’ll be needing to finish off some detailing work, but overall we’re really excited about the songs and the direction taken. Recording at Karma Sound Studios and getting to work under Dave McCracken and the team at Karma was definitely an enlightening experience. More updates soon!

TENN Magazine Interviews Montonn Jira
Here is a short video interview I did for TENN Magazine a few months back for their first issue. Since the magazine is centered around technology and mobile gadgets, I spoke briefly about some of the apps and devices I use on a day to day basis.
Tenn Magazine is now on sale, and I’m wearing orange and blue on the cover! Grab it from your local newsstand and hit me up on twitter with comments!! (@montonnjira). The digital version is also available as a free download from the app store just in case so if you can’t find it in hard copy.
May 4th, 2012
I’ve just finished production and mixing on a new Slot Machine track called OST. The song will be featured in a film by Dan Worawech, which should be in theaters in the upcoming month. Slot Machine and myself are also about to start on the World Futsal Cup anthem, as Thailand will be hosting the tournament this year, and the band has been chosen to write the theme song for the event.
Two Charusorn’s project “Epic Holiday” is finally going to mastering this coming week, so expect some audio samples from that album soon as well.
Other than that.. a few other pieces of music have just been completed. Invisible, a score for a PSA. Adrift, a score for a short film on the floods that hit Thailand in 2011, a short TVC piece for DeskOne, and also some work with Roc Nation artist Hugo on his sophomore album. More soon.
A new print and digital publication called TENN Magazine will be launched this coming March and I was kindly invited to grace the cover of their first issue. The shoot took place at the fancy CenterPoint Studio’s in Bangna with more nooks and crannies to make any photographer drool. Keep an eye out for the zine. I believe the digital version is free, and features lots of interactivity in their app. Enjoy!
Here’s a little instructional video on how to properly crush our Eco Friendly water bottle. The new bottle already uses 35% less plastic than most of the other bottles around. With the added crush factor, the crushed bottle reduces the amount of space taken up by used plastic while in turn reducing the amount of resources needed to transport the waste!
Eloquence Magazine Interview
I just finished an interview for an international creators magazine called Eloquence, out of Seoul Korea. The piece should be out in their next issue focusing on Thai creators. Thank you to Mix Architect for the recommendation! I’ve included a link to the Feb Issue of the magazine.
