Tata Amita Marie Young was born in Thailand on December 14, 1980, the only daughter of an American father and a Thai mother. In a childhood filled with singing and dancing, Tata beat 5,300 other children to be crowned winner of the International Division of the nationwide Thailand Junior Singing Contest at the tender age of 11. The victory brought her an entertainer’s contract with Yamaha Music and subsequently a recording contract with Grammy Entertainment, Thailand’s largest entertainment conglomerate when she was 14. Within a year, Tata recorded and released her debut Thai album “Amita Tata Young” which sold more than 1 million units in 5 months. At only 15, Tata became Thailand’s biggest pop sensation, a reputation which was cemented when sales of her follow up album “Tata 1,000,000 Copies Celebration” also hit the million-unit mark.
Tata’s popularity grew further when she was chosen to represent Thailand on the Australian Television program “World Telly Broadcast” featuring Youth talents in Asia. In April 1996, Tata held her “Tata Live in Hollywood Concert” at the renowned Hollywood Palladium, a rare event for an Asian artist, and one which received rave reviews. Tata was selected by the Chinese government to represent Thailand at the Handover Concert for the Hong Kong Handover Ceremony held on July 5, 1997 along with such international acts as Lisa Stansfield and Wet Wet Wet. That same year, Tata became the first entertainer in 14 years to receive the coveted Golden Pikkanes God Award presented by the Musical Artist Association of Thailand under the patronage of His Majesty the King of Thailand.
Trendy, beautiful and vivacious, Tata has also developed a highly successful modeling and acting career. Making her stunning film debut in 1997 in the youth drama “The Red Bike Story”, Tata not only won the Best Female Actress Award (Thailand) at the 4th Annual Blockbuster Entertainment Awards but also helped the movie break all time attendance records in the film history of Thailand. Tata followed up the huge success with two other celluloid hits “O-Negative” and “Plai Tien”.
Tata has modeled and endorsed top-notch brands such as Fuji Film and Yamaha motorcycles, Colgate and Pepsi and has been the cover girl many times over on many international media and magazines around the region. In 1997, Elle Magazine named her one of Thailand’s “10 Most Influential People” and Asiaweek selected Tata as one of 25 most influential trendsetters in Asia in 1998. In 2001, Tata was featured on the cover of Time Magazine in their study of successful Eurasians in Asia.

Tata Young New Album In July ,2009
Breaking into Europe and Australia:
2008-present
Young has been working on her junior studio English album for quite a while since the beginnings of '08 in Berlin, Germany, working with Sony BMG Europe. The records have unofficialy announced including 15 tracks, and most of them will be the pop-dance beats, similar to her previous records. The songs in this new record will be a lot more upbeat and more "fun" than One Love. She has also announced that "this is her favourite album, it's also the best album she'd ever made before, the beats will help the album climbing up the charts all around the world easily, it has got to be the best one." Moreover, one of the tracks is also written by Timbaland's "right hand" as well.
The release date of the first single is still unknown, but it has been announced that the album released has again been delayed and will be on sale from July 2009. The album is expected to have a similar feel to Tata Young's first English album, I Believe. The record's main target is going to be Europe and Australia, not like her 2 previous records which were launched in Asia.
Demo tracks of four new songs have surfaced the internet. These songs include 'My Bloody Valentine', 'Suffocate', 'Rain' and 'Exposed'. Many sources believe that these tracks were retrieved from the producers and that they are only sung by a guide's voice. One in particular sounds very much alike Tata Young, that one being titled as 'My Bloody Valentine'. The song itself is rumoured to be Tata's first single from her upcoming english album. No confirmation of the real singer yet but ASCAP has credited Tata as a performer for the song though it does not give it justice.
'My Bloody Valentine' has somehow entered the Indonesian Charts and Tata Young has been credited as the singer with the label Sony BMG. The radio stations throughout Indonesia has played it numerous times and with great responses it has even reached the hot seat at number one in some local radio stations.
