After the death of his father, the family started having a financial difficulty as only the mother supported three children.

During his initial audition, he sang Clash's La Korn Ruk Tair and Chao Na Kub Ngoo Hao. In the semifinals Dew was selected into the Top 8.
In the Introduction week, he sang "Kuen Chan" by Loso which he was able to capture attention from public as well as all the judges.

The Uniqueness of Dew's Hair Style
Supinyo's hair style (Dreadlocks) basically became the talk of the town. Typically, Thai guys would just leave their hair short. The reason that he has long hair was because he prayed if he could enter Silpakorn University, he would not have any hair cut until his graduation. His popularity does not only derive from his talent, but also from being extraordinary and thinking out of the box.
Reincarnation of Joe (Pause)
The look of Supinyo is similar to Joe Ammarin Leungboribul (โจ้ อัมรินทร์ เหลืองบริบูรณ์) the lead vocals from the Pause band (Bakery Music). Leungboribul committed suicide in February 2002. Supinyo is sometimes called a reincarnation of Leungboribul by the public.
Hobby as a Photographer
Supinyo has personal interest in photography. He has several photo collections which each collection tells different stories.
