About Me

Born in Bangkok, Thailand to a Thai Mother and an African American Father raised in Dallas, Texas into the slowly fading sounds of Funk, Soul, R&B, 80s Rock and the vastly growing sounds of Hip-Hop. This young artist has evolved from the music that he learned to love into the music that he loved to make. Being the youngest of six boys, Yodchai was encouraged to entertain his older siblings and friends by singing and dancing. Today he has impressed thousands. With role models such as Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire, Genesis, Foreigner, Journey, Shalamar, One Way to the Sugar Hill Gang and Tupac Shakur to name a few, this artist was given a style of his own. Yodchai then signed to Long Endz Record, an independent record label and this led to Yodchai working with music producers such as Madakwu Chinwah a Grammy winning producer who has produced to the likes of Erykah Badu, Vanessa Williams, Christopher Williams, Raven Symone, etc. and Navajo who is also a recording artist in the R&B group Profyle. From the self titled album YODCHAI, his first single "Its A Party Tonight" quickly became a swingout favorite in the clubs of the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. "Its A Party Tonight" was also nominated to receive a subsidiary grammy by The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences by placing top 10 out of 800 nationwide amateur artist. Stay tuned as Yodchai is currently working on his sophomore album.
