Having studied music composition and production abroad, he has also expanded his knowledge into sound design for music and film, and has returned to Thailand as “The Producer” to watch out for.

Hailing from a rock solid production background, Montonn has been making a name for himself in both local and international music circles. 2007 saw him sign up as the musical director and programmer for the Neptunes’ produced project, Kenna. This allowed him the opportunity to tour the world with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, and Fischerspooner, not to mention, perform at one of the largest concert events of all time, Live Earth.

His roles as producer, arranger, engineer, musician, and DJ have gained him all-round respect from critics worldwide. After some notable remixes for local artists Modern Dog, Siam Secret Service, Penguin Villa, and The Crub, Montonn has been releasing his own electronic infused tracks on the Bangkok label Smallroom. His work has also recently been remixed by the likes of Pheek (Archipel, Alphahouse) [A]ppendics Shuffle (City Slang, Mute) and Violett (Einmaleins, Lo Mid High, Ilian, Tape Telegraph, Igloo). His release on MONSTERecs (titled Samutprakarn Sound Remixes EP 1) has led to the creation of his own Samutprakarn Sound imprint, which will be home to all of his future releases.

Montonn continues to surprise audiences and create with a passion for his craft. Whether it be bringing new sounds to the dance floors, or well crafted pop songs to peoples living rooms, making the “Samutprakarn Sound” heard is what Montonn Jira lives for.</description><title>Montonn Jira</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @montonnjira)</generator><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Montonn was invited to perform at the Yamaha Fino Black and...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b6c050dc8030bcf651f03b25f8c42972/tumblr_mkcrluxkyr1qfuswxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Montonn was invited to perform at the Yamaha Fino Black and White Night party at the Zen Live space this past week.

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. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/24749283074</link><guid>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/24749283074</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Tenn Magazine is now on sale, and I’m wearing orange and...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3qrhtpQK21qfuswxo1_500.png"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/22704286672</link><guid>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/22704286672</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 May 2012 13:05:00 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>May 4th, 2012</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;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. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two Charusorn&amp;#8217;s project &amp;#8220;Epic Holiday&amp;#8221; is finally going to mastering this coming week, so expect some audio samples from that album soon as well. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/22380863455</link><guid>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/22380863455</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 May 2012 20:27:12 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>A new print and digital publication called TENN Magazine will be...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lztystffhy1qfuswxo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;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!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/18116780248</link><guid>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/18116780248</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2012 18:01:05 +0700</pubDate><category>fashion</category><category>magazine</category><category>celeb</category><category>thailand</category><category>music</category><category>techno</category><category>samutprakarn</category><category>sound</category><category>montonn</category><category>Jira</category></item><item><title>Here’s a little instructional video on how to properly...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4PaXG9xlOZ0?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;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! &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/19388606284</link><guid>http://montonnjira.tumblr.com/post/19388606284</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:36:05 +0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Eloquence Magazine Interview </title><description>&lt;a href="http://http//issuu.com/eloquence/docs/eloquence.2012.02?mode=window&amp;backgroundColor=%23222222"&gt;Eloquence Magazine Interview &lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;I just finished an interview for an international creators magazine called Eloquence, out of Seoul Korea.
