Tata was reportedly born on April 1, 2008, making him 16 years old. He is also believed to be a former GMM Music trainee. GMM Music is a record label under GMM Grammy Public Company Limited, the largest media conglomerate entertainment company in Thailand.
Information about Tata is still scarce, given that he hasn’t debuted yet, and netizens haven’t had much luck tracking down his social media accounts.
It has been deleted since mid-2024. If you want to see the pre-debut video, look on TikTok with the keyword "tata jiranchai" a lot will appear.

But, given that the internet is forever, photos and videos of Tata began circulating shortly after the concert.

What we do know is that Tata isn’t the only member of his family in show business. His younger brother, “Toto” Thayawat Sereeviriyakun, is a 14-year-old guitarist and actor, who made his acting debut last year. Toto played a supporting role in the Thai Boys’ Love series LoveSick 2024.
After SMTown Live 2025, Toto shared a fancam of Tata’s performance on X (Twitter). The video, captioned “Guess who?”, has been viewed over 1.9 million times.
