About Phum Viphurit
Phum Viphurit was born in Bangkok, Thailand. His dad is an architect, and his mom is a graphic designer. When Phum was 9 years old, his family moved to Hamilton, New Zealand.
While living in New Zealand, Phum got his first musical instrument. It was a drum set, which he had wanted since he was very little. However, he had to stop playing the drums. The sound was too loud and bothered the neighbors! So, Phum started playing the guitar instead.
When he was 18, Phum moved back to Thailand. He went to study at Mahidol University International College.
