Dandee

A true titan of Thai hip-hop, Dandee’s star was world-destined from the very beginning. Growing up in Germany in the ‘90s, the son of a German mother and Thai father, Dandee took in the revelations of hip-hop’s golden age through the eyes of his bi-racial, multicultural upbringing and outlook. As he progressed in years, he realised that hip-hop’s various streams of influence – visual aesthetics, b-boy culture, its beyond-rich musical world – corresponded powerfully with his lived experience. Around him, he saw the gospel of hip-hop at work, and after receiving its wisdom from the kings of the movement, The Notorious B.I.G.,Tupac Shakur and the Wu-Tang Clan, he rose to mic himself and trained in one of the most potent hip-hop arts: MCing. Since then, Dandee has emerged as one of the pillars of Thai hip-hop, with an international impetus. His flair as a rapper, producer and A&R put him in an elite league in hip-hop’s arena. He has transformed hip-hop’s street wisdom into a globally resounding philosophy that has taken him to all corners of the planet, where he flies the flags of hip-hop and Thailand with pride and gusto. But, for Dandee, all the fame and acclaim are secondary to one central truth: The power of the MC. It’s a craft he continues to hone this long into his career and one that will manifest in every release and performance that bears his name. 
 For Thailand. For hip-hop. For the world.
