Ruangsak Loychusak (Thai: เรืองศักดิ์ ลอยชูศักดิ์), also known as James Ruangsak, is a Thai actor and singer. His first album was Dai Wela...James ("It's time for James"). He then released Siren Love, Forever James, The Next, James Hits Series, and James F. M.. His bestselling albums include Siren Love and James F. M., and popular singles include: "Khon raek" (Thai: คนแรก; lit.: "First One"), "Khao man kai" (ข้าวมันไก่; "Hainanese chicken rice"), and "Mai aht bplian jai" (ไม่อาจเปลี่ยนใจ; "I Shouldn't Change Your Mind").
Early life
Loychusak was born into a Sino Thai 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" Khemglad, 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 once owned a Hainanese chicken rice franchise—a family business originally started by his grandmother in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Personal life
He married Natcha Daeng-ngam on 24 December 2015 and has one daughter named Andromeda, born on 19 March 2019.
