Five Thai boys aged 11 and 12 are tuning up to show their talent to the world

They’re black-clad, spiky-haired rockers who perform with jets of flame firing up the stage, and they are just starting high school. 

Little did they know that, after dedication and almost non-stop rehearsals, the group formed by seven- and eight-year-olds would turn out to be one of the brightest hopes for the future of Thailand’s music industry. The band was one of two representing Thailand in Asia’s Got Talent, and the only ones in the final, where they finished fourth. They are now eagerly awaiting word on whether they will land a record deal. 

They are known across Asia as The Talento. 

efore the band earned their place in the international spotlight, they were known nationwide as the young rockers who made it to the final round of Thailand’s Got Talent last year, except they had nine members back then. 

Although the band now numbers five, The Talento managed to get through the tough competition with contenders from all over Asia. As fun as it looked on the screen, The Talento went down a difficult path with a feverish rehearsal schedule to get to where they are today.
