Thakzin has shared his thoughts about life and what he believes we all share in common with his newest album, “Common Ground.”
Despite our different struggles, backgrounds, families, and quality of life, when we look deeper at things, we see that there is something connecting us all, something we share, and that common thing is music. This music, irrespective of our faith, race, financial status, or preferred genre, is something we all enjoy, and this is the kind of music Thakzin has released in “Common Ground.”
“I’ve been waiting for this moment, to finally share this music with you all. Not just because of what it means to me, but because I believe music is meant to be shared, felt and experienced together. We all come from different places. We carry different stories, see the world through different eyes and move through life in our own ways.
Yet, there is always something that connects us. To me, COMMON GROUND isn’t about being the same. It’s about recognising something in one another, finding connection in our differences and making space for what each of us brings. Music has always had the power to create that space. To bring different worlds together. To make us listen, feel and belong, even when we don’t speak the same language. That’s what COMMON GROUND means to me. This project carries the energy, creativity and spirit of everyone who has been part of it. And now, it belongs to you too.
COMMON GROUND is where we meet.” – Thakzin
