Early life and music career edit
Raseetanu was born in Si Bun Rueang District, Nongbua Lamphu Province.[1] He had two siblings, and was the youngest son. He was educated up until primary 6. His mother died from cancer, so he worked a job for two years. His father had a new wife, so he and his siblings moved to Phetchabun Province. However, he did not get along with his father's new wife, so he eventually moved to Bangkok to pursue his career.[1]
He worked without job selection, until he saw his friend who was a musician, so they founded Tantawan band. In 1999, Tantawan band was disbanded but he continued to make music by himself.[1]
In 2001, he recorded first studio album, "Pae Rasi" (แผ่ราศี). In 2002, his second studio album "Nuk Soo Khong Mae" (นักสู้ของแม่) was released. In 2004, his third album "Wan Thee Chun Roe" (วันที่ฉันรอ) was released. He gained popularity and fame from his song Blind Hen ("Kai Ta Fang", ไก่ตาฟาง) in 2006. His music began to be played in Southern Thailand,[1] on Luk thung Mahanakhorn's Radio Station. His music also became popular on a national level.[1][2][3]
In 2010, he signed with Thai record label Rsiam (subsidiary of RS Group). His popular songs from Rsiam include The rhinoceros ("Sib Et Ror Dor", 11 ร.ด.), The gold chameleon ("King Ga Thong", กิ้งก่าทอง), The old frog ("Kob Thao", กบเฒ่า), The buffalo ("Kway", ควาย), "The stupid ass", ("Lar Ngo", ลาโง่) etc.[1][4]
