Tik Shiro: From a young man from Korat to the “Batman” artist who creates art through music

If we talk about one of the most energetic and uniquely distinctive artists in Thailand, the name “Tik Shiro” or Manaswin Nantasane (former name: Sirisak Nantasane) inevitably appears at the top

His life journey is interesting from childhood to the important turning point in university that shaped him into a “well-rounded artist” as he is today

Origin and youth

Tik Shiro was born in Nakhon Ratchasima Province (Korat). He had a passion for music since childhood, starting with his first instrument, the “drum,” which became the important foundation of “rhythm,” a distinctive element in both his songs and dance movements later on

An important period at “Suan Sunandha”

The turning point that changed Tik Shiro’s life was moving to study in Bangkok at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (formerly Suan Sunandha Teachers College)

• Faculty and major: Studied at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, majoring in Fine and Applied Arts (Applied Art Design)
• Arts shaping identity: Studying art at Suan Sunandha did not only provide drawing skills but also trained the “way of thinking” to view music as a piece of art. This is why Tik Shiro always has a modern (Avant-garde) style in fashion, hairstyle, and show design
• Active student: During his studies, Tik Shiro stood out in both art studies and music activities with friends, eventually becoming a member of the band “Ploy,” a famous band at that time, before becoming a solo artist who created a new phenomenon in the industry

With his evident works and achievements, Tik Shiro is currently recognized as one of the distinguished alumni of Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, and he continues to participate in activities and inspire younger generations

Life in the entertainment industry and success

After fully debuting as a solo artist under Nititat label, Tik Shiro created many timeless hit songs such as Ok Ma Ten, Batman, Love Never Changes, and Ready to Receive. He earned the title of a pioneer “alternative idol” with legendary dance moves and a unique singing style

Personal life and role as a “Multi-Hyphenate”

In his personal life, Tik Shiro is married to Or (Parntira Nantasane) and has two daughters, Nong Charme and Nong Yahyee. He plays the role of a father who fully supports his children’s artistic paths

Currently, Tik Shiro is not only a singer, but he is also:

• Painter: Applying knowledge from Suan Sunandha to create paintings and exhibitions
• Music judge and advisor: In various television programs (such as The Voice Kids)
• Entrepreneur: Continuing to work for society in various forms

Conclusion

The life of Tik Shiro proves that “art and music are one and the same.” The foundation of design from Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University combined with his rhythmic talent from Korat has shaped him into an artist who never becomes outdated and continues to bring happiness to Thai people for decades
