À propos de Phum Viphurit

Phum Viphurit, born Vichaya Vatanasapt in Bangkok and raised partly in New Zealand, became Thailand's biggest indie export of the late 2010s with his 2017 single Lover Boy. The lo-fi guitar-pop track passed 100 million YouTube views, was the first Thai indie song to chart on Spotify's Global Viral 50, and made him a 2018 SXSW and Glastonbury booking. His 2018 album Manchild and 2020 follow-up Hello, Anxiety expanded his palette into bedroom-pop and bossa nova. He continues to release and tour internationally and is the de facto face of Thai bilingual indie pop.
