Since then, Gracy continued to walk her way towards her goal with perseverance. Although she had to face different obstacles, she never gave up and continued to develop herself. She successfully became the Champion of the Voice Kids Thailand 2020, as well as an artist from the Kamikaze music label owned by RS Public Company Limited.
