Early life

Musical career

At age 19, after leaving his hometown, he ended up in Pattaya singing in a dining club. This is where the talent scout for GMM Grammy, Mr. Katearun Lertpipak, found him and realized that he has found a treasure for Grammy. Katearun asked him to record his singing for him, which Jakrapun did and sent to him. Mr.Katearun was impressed and went to Rewat Buddhinan of Grammy immediately. After Rewat listened to the tape, he left the recording session and headed for Pattaya to see him. Rewat brought him to Grammy to be cultured and prepared to be the wonderful singer and performer that he is today. Rewat told him that many years ago "you will be rank first luk thung music star", and as usual he was right. He always gave Rewat thanks and credit for who he is today.
