Pop trio 3.2.1 — Chatchaya Songcharoen (Poppy), 18, Gavin Duval, 20 and Jirayut Phaloprakarn (T.J.), 20 — got their big break when they released “Rak Tong Poed Naen Oak (Splash Out)” a single recorded with well-known country singer Baitoey R Siam.
“Splash Out” was the brainchild of T.J., who wanted to mix Thai country music with modern electro dance music. With its catchy lyrics, fun melody and memorable dance moves, the song managed to reach a huge audience almost overnight. The song’s music video, released on May 1, has already notched up more than 22 million views on YouTube.
Student Weekly recently met up with 3.2.1 to chat about “Splash Out” and their upcoming album, Mon Day (Fun Day).
