Early Life

Born April 10, 1979, in Taunggyi, Shan State, Myanmar, his parents, Kham Leng and Cho Cho San Tun, are from an ethnic Shan aristocratic family. Proud of his Shan ethnicity, it shapes his music and identity. As a Theravada Buddhist, he grew up embracing peace and kindness.

He is the eldest of four siblings, with two younger sisters and a brother. After his parents divorced when he was in fourth grade, he lived with his father for six years without seeing his mother. Inspired by his father’s small recording studio, Freedom, Sai Sai loved music growing up.

He listened to artists like Sai Htee Saing and learned to play the guitar in sixth grade. In school, he also excelled at judo, winning local competitions. His early life in Shan State instilled in him a love for Myanmar’s culture, leading him to share it through his art.

Education

Sai Sai attended No. 1 B.E.H.S. Taunggyi and graduated from high school in 1996. He later studied English at Dagon University, earning a bachelor’s degree in 2003. He also completed a postgraduate diploma in English at Yangon University of Foreign Languages in 2004.

Career

Sai Sai moved to Yangon in 1997 to chase his dream of becoming a singer. He started in 1998, singing for karaoke albums while still a student. Hip-hop was new in Myanmar at the time, and not many people liked it. His first album, Chocolate Yaung Yayge Einmet (2000), did not do well, but he kept trying.

His second album, Thangegyin Myar Swar (2001), was a big hit, making him a star. In 2003, his third album, February Mhat Tann, included the number-one song“One Nal Mhat Tan.” Other hits like “Thu Nge Chin Myar Swar” and“Happy Sai Sai Birthday” increased his fame.

His first major concert, Sai Sai Live, was held in 2004; his annual birthday shows attract large crowds. Sai Sai also acts, appearing in over 50 direct-to-video and major films, including Mingalabar (2006) and Padauk Musical (2020).

He wrote the novel Un Tightened Doors and runs Frenzo Music Production, producing music videos and songs. His collaborations with brands like Coca-Cola and VISA, and performances at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games, reflect his pride in Myanmar.
