Boyd Kosiyabong was born on 5 September 1967, the third of five children. Having great interest in animated cartoons and music, he started taking piano lessons by the age of four but soon had to give up formal lessons which could not satisfy his specific interest in cartoon soundtracks. He became self-taught afterwards, learning to play the theme songs of his favourite cartoons and beginning to compose by the time he was in sixth grade. He had wished to study animation, but being unable to do so he followed the path of his other interest, music. He studied song writing, electronic music and music business at
University of California, Los Angeles. Early in his career he worked as a freelance songwriter for musical artists and advertising. After a few years, he joined
Kamol Sukosol Clapp,
Somkiat Ariyachaipanich and
Salinee Panyarachun in founding
Bakery Music, an
independent music label, in 1994. Among the first of the label's acts was
Modern Dog, which quickly proved successful. Boyd was widely noted for his roles as composer and manager of Bakery Music. His compositions were mainly romantic and inspirational songs, such as
Seasons Change, which topped the charts upon its release in 1995 and later became the namesake of the
2007 film of the same name. With the rapid growth of Bakery Music, Boyd began expanding investments into the other businesses, founding the animation studio Be Boyd Characters (now Be Boyd CG) in 1997, while partner Somkiat created the Dojo City label, which catered to young female audiences, and Bakery Music also expanded into publishing, with the magazines
Katch and
Manga Katch. However, the company later faced management and economic issues, and was acquired in 2000 by
BMG, which in turn merged with
Sony Music Entertainment to become
Sony BMG in 2004. At this point, Boyd, along with the original founders of Bakery Music, left the management, while Bakery Music remains today as a sublabel of Sony. Boyd and Kamol Sukosol Clapp then formed a new partnership and created a new label,
Love Is, in 2004. Kamol later left to work in other businesses, and Love Is was restructured as a production house company. Personally, Boyd is a devout Christian and attends church every Sunday. He is married to Worakanya Kosiyabong and has two daughters, D-Jai and Jai-D ==Discography==
