Tata The Sexy Singer was born Amita Marie Young in Thailand on December 14th, 1980 . She is the only daughter of an American father and a Thai mother. In a childhood filled with singing and dancing, Tata had already shown early signs of a talent that would take her from being Thailand 's biggest teenage pop sensation to an international recording artist. At the tender age of 11, Tata beat 5,300 other young children to be crowned winner of the International Division of the nationwide Thailand Junior Singing Contest by belting her rendition of “One Night Only”.

The victory earned her an entertainer's contract with Yamaha Music in preparation for her impending debut in show business. In 1994, the 14-year-old caught the eye of A and R executives from Grammy Entertainment, Thailand 's biggest entertainment conglomerate, snapping her up with a recording artist contract.

Within a short year, Tata had recorded and released her debut Thai-language album “Amita Tata Young” which shot to the top of the charts and sold more than a million copies in less than five months. Almost overnight – and at the tender age of 15 - Tata became the biggest pop sensation in Thailand .

Her reputation was solidified when sales of her follow-up album “TATA 1,000,000 Copies Celebration”, that included the hit single “Chan Rak Thur” (I Love You), hit the 1 million sales mark as well.

1995 saw the teen star collect a string of top awards and accolades, included being named Entertainer of the Year by the B Bangkok Press, as well as B est Recording Artist for 1995, an award for Music Video of the Year, awards for Number One and Two Singles of the Year, and Album of the Year for “Amita Tata Young”, at the Radio Vote Awards in Thailand.

Tata's cosmopolitan background helped her set new standards for the Thai music industry. Despite singing in the Thai language, Tata's popularity also allowed her to perform abroad.

She was chosen to represent Thailand for the Australian Television program "World Telly Broadcast", which also featured Youth in Asia and was broadcast in February of 1996. The program was seen by audiences in Australia and throughout Southeast Asia .

Tata was selected by the Chinese Government to represent Thailand at the Hand-over Concert for the Hong Kong Hand-over Ceremonies held on July 5th, 1997 alongside international acts such as Wet Wet Wet, Michael Learns to Rock, Lisa Stansfield, All 4 One, and the B rand New Heavies.

That same year, Tata became the first entertainer in 14 years to receive the coveted Golden Pikkanes God Award presented by the Musical Artist Association of Thailand under the patronage of His Majesty the King of Thailand .

Tata made her film debut in 1997 in the youth drama “The Red Bike Story” which broke the all-time attendance record upon its release for any movie in the history of Thailand . Her stunning debut earned her the B est Female Actress Award ( Thailand ) presented at the 4 th Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards 1997. She followed that up with two other celluloid hits, “O-Negative” and “Plai Tien”.

Tata Young is Thailand's superstar. She is the first Thai female artist to launch an international album and has gained unprecedented success all across Asia. There is no Asian country that is not familiar with her name.

Although the artist had to change the name of her song “Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy” to “Sexy, Naughty, Cheeky” in Malaysia, she was still going strong. Tata was voted as one of the 50 sexiest women in the world by the Malaysian publications.

The Thai superstar formed the Tata Young Fan Club in 1997 under the auspices of her company TATA Entertainment to gather support from her fans to provide assistance to “The Human Development Foundation”, a charitable organization that aids underprivileged children in Thailand.
