Thanapat Thaothawong, better known by his stage name Thaiboy Digital, is a Thai-Swedish rapper and singer. Born in Khon Kaen, Thailand, Thaothawong moved to Stockholm, Sweden at the age of eight,[1] and is now based in Bangkok. In addition to his solo work, Thaothawong is a member of the group Drain Gang, along with rappers Bladee and Ecco2K and producers Whitearmor and Yung Sherman.[2]

Personal Life

Born in the Isan region of Thailand, Thaothawong's family moved to Sweden from Thailand in 2003 after his mother became a chef in the Austrian embassy in Stockholm.[1] In his teen years, Thaothawong became involved in the city's music scene, joining what would later become Drain Gang and collaborating with local artists including Yung Lean.[3][2] In 2015, due to the end of his mother's work visa, Thaothawong was forced to leave Sweden by Migrationsverket, the Swedish immigration authority and return to Thailand, settling in Bangkok.[4][1] In Bangkok, Thaothawong began recording with local 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 Thaothawong's apartment in Bangkok.[5] He got married on January 7th, 2020[6] and his first child, a daughter was born on February 9th, 2020.[7]
