Prakarn Raiva, nicknamed Name, is a songwriter and vocalist frontman of experimental pop band Getsunova. He was born in Bangkok, Thailand as the son of Pravesvudhi and Kessuda, chairman and CEO of S&P respectively. He graduated from the London College of Fashion and started work with Bangkok Apparel before opening his own Play Café.

Raiva is the heir of the S&P restaurant owner and a former soloist from GMM Grammy, invited his friends studying in the United Kingdom namely Natee Osathanugrah and Panoth Khunprasert, who also happen to be sons of tycoons, to form a band. Panoth later invited his friend, Komkadech Sangwattanaroj, to be the band's drummer. The band's name was formed by combining two words: "Getsu" which means moon in Japanese and "Nova" which is a nuclear explosion in a white dwarf star in English.

Initially, the band began rehearsing their music while in studying in different locations: Prakarn and Panoth in the United Kingdom, Natee in the United States and Komkadech in Thailand. While this proved to be a challenge, they continued to produce their music through the internet. When the band members graduated, they eventually settled in Thailand to work together.

As the band released the song "Glai Kae Nai Kue Glai" in 2012, it became a number one hit making them the first Thai band to reach 100 million views for three songs on YouTube, including "Rearrange" and "Yoo Trong Nee Naan Kwa Nee", and later, for reaching 200 million views for "Glai Kae Nai Kue Glai".

In 2014, the band was among the three Thai bands, along with The Yers and P.O.P, to perform in the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan. Despite producing songs for several years already, it was only in 2016 when the band released their debut album dubbed as "The First Album"

Prakarn also took on the role of Executive Creative Director at Bangkok Apparel where he put his fashion marketing degree from the London College of Fashion to use. Coming full circle, he finally stepped into the restaurant business, naturally, with a creative twist. At his new Play Café, diners can purchase and enjoy playing with toys while they eat.
