Career
Sai Sai moved to
Yangon in1996 , signed with John's modelling agency, and became a male model. His first foray into the Burmese music scene "Chocolate Yaung Yayge Einmet" (Chocolate-Coloured Ice Dreams) was largely a failure. But his second album "Thangegyin Mya Zwa" (Many Friends) made him a superstar in Myanmar, attracting a large female (teenage) following ever since.While he was not the trailblazer of the hip hop inspired music in Myanmar, Sai Sai has certainly popularized it to the heights unseen. Though some dismiss him for his hip-hop style, it is difficult to categorize him as another pretty faced lightweight. After all, he has penned many of his songs, and continues to expand into other areas. He has also starred in a successful movie "Mingala Ba".
In 2008, Sai Sai participated fund-raising concerts for the victims of
Cyclone Nargis in Yangon as well as inPerth, Australia .Discography
