Thaiboy Digital

Bunleang was born in Khon Kaen, Thailand.^[2] Bunleang's family moved to Sweden at age 8 after his mother became a chef in the Austrian embassy in Stockholm.^[1] 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.^[3][4]

In 2015, Bunleang was forced to leave Sweden by Migrationsverket and return to Thailand due to a visa dispute, settling in Bangkok.^[1] Yung Lean attempted to intervene his deportation by starting a Change.org petition and called the Swedish officials "racist assholes."^[5] 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 studio album Trash Island which was partially recorded in Bunleang's Bangkok apartment.^[6] Talking retrospectively about the first few years back in Thailand more than a decade later, Bunleang described the time as his "dark ages", characterized by heavy partying.^[2]

My Fantasy World is inspired by Basshunter and Tiësto.^[7]

In 2022, after a hiatus of three years, Bunleang released his second album, Back 2 Life.^[8] 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.

After uploading Nino Lifestyle 3Cha Mix, an introduction to the Thai electronic dance music genre 3cha, in October 2024, Bunleang finally released the debut album of Dj Billybool in 2025. DYR, which blends influences from eurodance, epadunk and 3cha, and sees Bunleang sing in Swedish for the first time, has been described as "globalist hyperpop".^[2] It was revealed in a 2026 interview that Bunleang is working together with long-time collaborator Whitearmor on another 3cha-inspired project.^[2] DYR was the first full-length release on Bunleang's own label, Bank of Star Sound System (B.O.S.S.S.).^[9]

Bunleang's third studio album as Thaiboy Digital, Paradise, is scheduled to be released on May 8. Paradise is a collaborative effort with producer collective Swedm, consisting of Eurohead, jamesjamesjames and Varg²™.^[10] The album is inspired by the dance music of urban Thailand and continues the work Bunleang has done as Dj Billybool, but moves the frame of reference from early 2000s eurotrance to the early 2010s, or as Bunleang said "everything before David Guetta's time".^[2] Following the release of Paradise, Bunleang is set to embark on the Underworld Tour spanning North America and Europe.^[11]

Bunleang grew up with his maternal grandmother and step-grandfather in Khon Kaen. His mother, Aphantri^[12] is half black,^[13] which caused bullying at school in Thailand. When Bunleang was five years old, his mother got a job as a chef at the Swiss embassy in Bangkok and brought him with her.^[12]

Bunleang got married on January 7, 2020^[14] and his first child, a daughter, was born on February 9, 2020.^[15] His second daughter was born on May 1, 2024.^[16]
