Piyapong ‘Py’ Muenprasertdee (ASEAN Music Showcase Festival)

Piyapong Muenprasertdee or ‘Py’ is a Thai music industry academic and lover of DIY music making. He holds a B.Eng. and MS in Industrial Engineering, and an MBA focused in entrepreneurship.

Before his music industry career, he was a consultant in the field of sustainability and climate change. But because music was his true calling, he married his technical background with his passion, and now works studiously for a more sustainable music industry.

He co-founded Fungjai – a music platform, events organizer and marketing company based in Bangkok, Thailand best known for its indie music community; Bangkok Music City (BMC) – Thailand’s first international music conference and showcase festival; and ASEAN Music Showcase Festival (to be renamed AXEAN Festival) – Southeast Asia’s first intraregional collaborative music showcase festival. He is passionate about connecting people, strengthening relationships and expanding networks while also promoting local and regional music artists to the world.

In addition to music, he also runs an innovation training and consulting company, CreativeCup.Co.
