D2B (band)

The three members of the group were: Apichet Kittikorncharoen, nickname Big (born 2 December 1982 – died 9 December 2007), Worrawech Danuwong, nickname Dan, (born 16 May 1984), and Kawee Tanjararak, nickname Beam, (born 18 May 1980).

The name "D2B" was created from the first letters of the members' nicknames, Dan, Big, and Beam, in which one name started with a "D" and 2 names started with a "B".

It is a popular Thai boy band that has sold more than a million copies, every album.[1]

On July 22, 2003, Big was in a major accident where his car flipped into a dirty roadside canal, leading to a bacterial infection in his brain. After being in a coma and persistent vegetative state for 4 years, he died on December 9, 2007.[2][3]

After Big had slipped into a coma, Dan and Beam continued their musical careers and released several duo albums. They went by the name "Dan-Beam". In 2005 Dan and Beam came out with their first album together called "Dan-Beam the album". Then in 2006 they came out with the second album " Dan-Beam the 2nd album Relax" and in 2007 they came out with their third album "Dan-Beam the 3rd album Freedom" and last and special album "DB2B". Worawech Danuwong (Dan) decided to leave RS Promotion and announced this decision on October 25, 2007. That meant the termination of D2B as well. And, soon after, Big died on December 9, 2007.[4] Beam still remained under RS. However, in June 2010, RS suspended Beam and decided not to renew his contract.[5] Now, Dan works under contract with Sony Entertainment and Beam is a freelance artist.
