Singer, Songwriter, Storyteller

As a songwriter and performing artist, my goal is to connect with others through music and storytelling. I’m interested in vulnerability, big emotions, radical ideas, and cultivating the kinds of shows where I can look audience members directly in the eye. I don’t use AI to write or create any of my musical work.
Here are some things audience members have said about me:
“I love how you balance complex emotions—happy, sad, and everything in between—while also honoring your audience and their humanity. Even during your ‘sad’ songs, you maintain a beautiful sense of hope that is both unexpected and deeply inspiring.”
— K., after an open mic
“Thammarat is a vocal powerhouse equally at home with pop belting and falsetto whispers. His original songs are like mini-musicals, delivering political truths and romantic half-truths in a narrative form—sometimes including a plot twist.”
— J., social media review
My passion for voice, songwriting, and performance has led me to study at Interlochen Center for the Arts, Berklee College of Music, and The New School (Mannes and the School of Jazz). In 2025, I graduated top of my class from Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, earning departmental honors for my work in contemporary music. I am currently a master's candidate in Songwriting at Berklee Online.
Through my musical training, I’ve been honored to learn from and work alongside some incredible mentors, including: Marlon Saunders (vocal coach, recording artist, Sam Smith, Stevie Wonder, Enchanted, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2); Andrea Stolpe (multi-platinum creative consultant, songwriter, Berklee/USC, Faith Hill, Julianne Hough, Jimmy Wayne); Biti Strauchn (Broadway performer, recording artist, vocal coach), Aurelius Gori (classical vocalist, vocal coach); Alex Wong (Latin GRAMMY-nominated artist, producer, activist); and Vienna Teng (singer-songwriter, pianist).

I am also a passionate singer-activist. I raised my voice in service of social justice for six seasons with Washington, DC’s GenOUT Youth Chorus, representing the ensemble at The White House (pride 2016), The Library of Congress (2019, “Queer Eye” for the Library!), and the 2019 Matthew Shepard Plaque Dedication Ceremony at Washington National Cathedral. In high school, I was also selected among a small group of elite young singers to perform at the 2019 Horatio Alger Awards Ceremony at DAR Constitution Hall. In 2022, I served as a founding member of Unjust Intonation, The New School’s first competitive, all-gender a cappella group, where I organized a performance at Judson Memorial Church in solidarity with striking part-time faculty.
Today, I stay rooted in my local community, singing as the tenor section leader at the Church of the Little Flower in Bethesda, MD, and continuing to perform regularly around the DMV and NYC.
In summer 2026, I completed my RYT 200-hour yoga teacher training in hatha and vinyasa at Thrive Yoga in Rockville. Stay tuned—more info on classes and offerings coming soon!
