Thanapat Bunleang (born Khazitin G. Bonleunge; 11 October 1994), better known by his stage name Thaiboy Digital, is a Thai rapper, singer, producer, and fashion designer. Born in Khon Kaen, Thailand, Bunleang moved to Stockholm, Sweden at the age of eight, and is now based in Bangkok. In addition to his solo work, Bunleang is a member of the group Drain Gang.

Biography

Born in the Isan region of Thailand, Bunleang's family moved to Sweden from Thailand in 2003 after his mother became a chef in the Austrian embassy in Stockholm.

In his teen years, Bunleang became involved in the city's music scene, joining what would later become Drain Gang and collaborating with local artists including Yung Lean.

In 2015, due to the end of his mother's work visa, Bunleang was forced to leave Sweden by Migrationsverket, the Swedish immigration authority, and return to Thailand, settling in Bangkok. ..... Now back in his home country, Bunleang began recording with local Bangkok artists such as Younggu and Dandee, while remaining a member of Drain Gang and contributing to all of their subsequent releases, including the 2019 release Trash Island which was partially recorded in Bunleang's Bangkok apartment.

My Fantasy World is inspired by Basshunter and Tiësto.

In 2022, after a hiatus of three years, Bunleang released his second album, Back 2 Life. The album follows his journey back to music after a few quiet years, with the theme of "seven years" recurring throughout the album, signifying his determination to make up for lost time.

Personal life

Bunleang grew up with his grandmother and step-grandfather (on his mothers side) in Khon Kaen. His mother Aphantri is half black, which caused bullying at school in Thailand. When Bunleang was 5, his mother got a job as a chef within the Swiss embassy in Bangkok and brought him with her. Bunleang got married on 7 January 2020 and his first child, a daughter, was born on 9 February 2020.
