Biography

[edit]

Vonthongchai Intarawat or Tol was born in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He studied at Anubaan Chiang Mai School, Yupparaj Wittayalai School, and then the Faculty of Law in Payap University in Chiang Mai. He is a junior-year student but dropping it for the reality show Academy Fantasia competition to pursue his dream of becoming a singer.

Intarawat has been involved with music since he was a child. As Intarawat's father had been a musician and songwriter, Intarawat was highly encouraged to learn playing many musical instruments. At the age of seven, he was first introduced to play electone. Later on, with Intarawat's good sense of music and personal talent, he can altogether play piano, guitar, bass guitar, violin, drum and flute. By this reason, he is now well known for the ability to identify the frequency of specific musical tone or absolute pitch.

During Intarawat's childhood, he actively participated in a lot of musical activities including attending different singing contests such as Panasonic Star Challenge, Nescafé Music Challenge, and won Lactasoy singing competition for the first prize. He also became a part of the youth choir in primary school, and playing flute in school's orchestra during his secondary years.

In 2005, Intarawat joined and teamed up with a group of young artists from Northern Thailand called Go-getter as a part of the Office of the Narcotics Control Board of Thailand's special campaign to fight against narcotics and allurements. He and the team finally released a full-length album consisting of 10 songs, one of which Intarawat sang is entitled poo ying dee dee (Thai: ผู้หญิงดีดี).

Academy Fantasia

[edit]

In 2007, Intarawat auditioned for the fourth season of True Academy Fantasia in Chiangmai and Bangkok, singing Emotion Town's het gert jaak kwaam ngao (Thai: เหตุเกิดจากความเหงา), Crescendo's Aroma, Calories Blah Blah's kon tee mai kao dtaa (Thai: คนที่ไม่เข้าตา), Big Ass’s Len Kong Soong (Thai: เล่นของสูง), and Ice's kon mun ruk (Thai: คนมันรัก). He made it through final audition round to complete in the show and continued two audition weeks to be one of 12 finalists in the house, then the runner-up of the season. In the final week, he chose to sing Clash’s ter ja yoo gup chun dta-lort bai (Thai: เธอจะอยู่กับฉันตลอดไป) and Instinct's bproht song krai maa rak chan tee (Thai: โปรดส่งใครมารักฉันที).

After Academy Fantasia

[edit]

When Academy Fantasia 4 ended, Intarawat and his fellow AF4 contestants released a group album entitled X-treme Army to launch their music careers under True Fantasia together. Intarawat sang a solo song, khon tee yoo trong na (Thai: คนที่อยู่ตรงหน้า), and a trio song, Time Machine as Rock Army and a group song, Army Energy. To promote this album, all 12 AF4 singers began a nation-wide concert tour, X-treme Army in Concert, which was held in Bangkok, Surat Thani, Chiang Mai, and Udon Thani.

In December 2007, Intarawat and his AF4 friends joined THAI Exclusive Trip with AF4 ‘X-Treme Army in Beijing’ launched by True Fantasia, Thai Airways International and Bank of Ayudhya, as the fourth campaign of Thai Airways International with AF. After that, Intarawat and other AF4 members continued to further promote the album by performing many concerts including Pepsi Everybody Move Concert, and Big C Big Love Concerts in Bangkok. During the time, Intarawat also became a presenter for Pepsi, along with the other male singers from AF4.

In March 2008, Intarawat and Nat Sakdatorn, the winner of Academy Fantasia season 4, joined Sudsapda's 26th Anniversary Project called kon lor khor dham dee (Thai: คนหล่อขอทำดี) and had a mini charity concert to raise money in helping impoverished people.[1] After the project ended, Intarawat and Nat Sakdatorn had donated all revenue with total amount of 283,750 baht to the Cardiac Children Foundation of Thailand.

Then, Intarawat and other AF members joined THAI Exclusive Trip with AF in Japan. After previous success and high demand, True Fantasia and Thai Airways International launched another special trip only for Intarawat's and Nat Sakdatorn's fanclub, THAI Exclusive Trip with Nat-Tol Live in Sydney in June 2008, including providing their first album-opening mini concert outside Thailand.[2]

In July 2008, Bank of Ayudhya chose Intarawat and Sakdatorn as brand ambassadors for Krungsri Yellow Points campaign, presenting a new generation of people with unique lifestyles. Such campaign aims to increase transactions and provide services through Krungsri ATMs and Krungsri Online service.[3]

Such play was performed in 2 cast sets, in which another cast member who plays the same role as Intarawat is Sakdatorn. To promote the play, Intarawat and Sakdatorn covered Sukiyaki (Japanese: 上を向いて歩こう), and also released music video in July 2008.

By continuing Krungsri Yellow Points campaign under a concept of Innovation Makes Life Easy, Intarawat and Sakdatorn launched their first full live concert entitled NAT-TOL the TWO MEN Show on October 30 – November 1, 2008. The concert was originally performed in a form of reality concert as a combination between live concert and reality show.[4]
