Early life
Loychusak was born into a Thai Chinese family on 9 March 1978 in Nakhon Si Thammarat, southern Thailand.
Career
He entered the music business in 1995 when he released his first studio album Dai Wela...James with RS Promotion, yielding successful results. He is considered one of the teen stars in Thailand's 1990s music scene, alongside contemporary teen stars such as Patiparn "Moss" Pataweekarn, Sornram "Num" Teppitak, Somchai "Tao" Khemklad, Suttida "Nook" Kasemsan na Ayudhya, Lift&Oil, Raptor, and Tata Young.
He was a taekwondo practitioner, and starred in the February 1997 action film Gangster Boys, directed by Ricky Loo and produced by Five Star Production.
On 11 December 1998, Loychusak survived the crash of Thai Airways International Flight 261. The press therefore nicknamed him "Iron Bones Singer" or "James, The Iron Bones".
He became popular again as Knight Mask (Nah Kak Atsawin) in season two of The Mask Singer.
He is a franchise owner of Hainanese chicken rice, which his family started in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
