Career[edit]
Sovath's career as a singer started in the 1990s when he joined the army and became a political commissar. He worked during the daytime and sang at restaurants or bars at nighttime. 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. He released his first solo album—His Life and His Excellence—with Him Sivorn, and becoming the lead singer of Raksmey Hang Meas. Most of his songs were in CDs & Karaoke VCDs.
