Supinyo's father died since he was 4 years old due to Hematological malignancy. After the death of his father, the family started having a financial difficulty as only the mother supported three children. When Supinyo turned 17, the family had to sell and leave the house; which Supinyo referred to as the family memorable home. One of his desires is to get back the house for the family.

He attended Mary Immaculate Convent School from the first grade of elementary school until he graduated high school in the year 2005. In 2005, Supinyo entered Silpakorn University, which is one of the most famous universities in Thailand for art majors.

In 2007, Supinyo entered a reality show the 4th season True Visions' Academy Fantasia and he was selected as one of the 20 finalists. He was in the competition for 2 weeks.

In 2009, he entered The Star reality show's the fifth season and finished as the runner-up. There were approximately 20,000 applicants for the season. The show aired on 7 February 2009 via Modernine TV. Supinyo auditioned for the fifth season of The Star in Khonkaen. During his initial audition, he sang Clash's La Korn Ruk Tair and Chao Na Kub Ngoo Hao. In the semi-finals 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. During the competition, he received the highest votes from the hall continuously for 4 weeks and it was the first time this happened in the Star reality show. During the 6th week of The Star reality show, Supinyo performed with Da Thanida Thamwimon Endorphine, the lead vocals of one of the best Thai rock bands.

Music career

Supinyo carries easy listening and soul music in his singing styles.

After the completion of the reality show, he was assigned to sing his first own song called "Klua Kwam Mued" (translated as "Fear of the Darkness").

Soon after his first song was released and became well-known; Supinyo was given an opportunity to sing his second song "Lak Tang Jai Kae Dai Ruk Tur" (translated as "Giving All the Heart for Loving you").
