[edit] Group history
Bangkok-born Khanngoen "Kan" Nuanual and Chiang Mai-native Nay Myo "Day" Thant attended university in the United States in the late 1990s and became part of the rap and hip hop house party scene in San Francisco.
At around the same time, a New York City-born Thai rapper, Prinya "Way" Intachai, had moved to Thailand and was trying to start a rap scene in Thailand. When Kan and Day returned to Thailand, they met Way and Thaitanium was formed.
Their first two albums, AA and Thai Riders, were produced and recorded in New York City, and released in Thailand in 2000 and 2002. Subsequent album releases cemented the group's popularity in Thailand, where it played in night clubs, bars and at music festivals.
Thaitanium was featured on "Dangerous", a track by Thai pop singer Tata Young in 2005. The group performed at the 2006 MTV Asia Awards, joining Simon Webbe in a performance of "No Worries."[1] The group also opened for Fort Minor and 50 Cent in a concert in February 2006 at Aktiv Square ,Mueang Thong Thani in Bangkok. The group then released its fifth album, Thailand's Most Wanted, and supported it with its first solo concert, "MTV Live: Thaitanium Uncensored" in 15th November 2006 at BEC-TERO Hall.
