I learned that I could be loud in a beautiful way, and I haven't shut up since.

My first act of defiance happened in a Bangkok hotel room, when I slipped into my dad’s shirt like a dress and paired it with my mom’s heels. Since then, I’ve grown into everything society told me not to be: left-handed, long-haired, gay, neurodivergent, gender-expansive, anxious, a gamer, a musician, an activist, a human—the list goes on.

In Thailand, my birthplace, Thammarat means “jewel of the sacred law (Dharma)” or “golden city.” In Buddhism, Dharma is the cosmic principle that reveals the truth of reality—the way things truly are. To live in accordance with Dharma is to align oneself with that truth, walking the path toward liberation and freedom from suffering.

Music is my Dharma. It is my “golden city,” a refuge and brave space where I can express my truth, values, and lived experiences. As Thammarat, I strive to create that “golden city” for everyone.
