He sang with Touch Sunnix for a year, from 1995 to 1996, and released his first song. The first two songs—Oun Min Men Songsa (អូនមិនមែនសង្សា) and Som Oy Pit Doch Veacha (សូមឱ្យពិតដូចវាចា)—was a success. After the popularity of the two songs, he joined one of the largest productions in Cambodia—Reaksmey Hang Meas Production—in 1997.
