About Me

Solo on the range so things don't get strange. Born in Mahasarakham Thailand and at the age of 4 was located to the U.S. were I grew up as an American kid.
After High school I joined a group called Rhythm&Rhyme as a dancer and Choreographers. By the 3rd year (age 24) I managed to start a production company (3rd Degree production) and renamed the group as well. Landing several projects underground I then positioned to Executive producer and elevated our group into a newly formed and salable act.
At the age of 26, I found that the life of an entertainer was not all that it was dreamed to be and decided to venture in several new business ventures. Soon within a year later I took a much needed change and moved back to Thailand. As time would have found my inner self, I spent 8 years totally out of the light of stage excitement. It was in May of 2006 that I met Surerun Seusut (one of Thailand's top producer and world class synthboard player) which moved my decition to re-enter the life of entertainment.
Pulling together top artists for a jam session project, this album incorporates cultural Thai sounds mixed with western guitar riffs and down to the bone Drum & Bass licks of Hip Hop. A great alternative to indie and mainstream pop, this album sets you grooving song after song. Lyrics are in Thai except for the last 3 songs which are done in English (full English version to be released in 2008).Now after the long "Walk-About", the new John Sarakham album is now available.
