    Chantarangsu is also known as the co-host of the food-based web shows Basic to Bougie, DeliciousnessonMTV,[3] and Send FoodzonThrillist. His career started on YouTube where he uploaded comedic videos and original music.

    Early life[edit]

    Chantarangsu was born in Billings, Montana, to parents of Thai heritage.[4][5] He was raised in Long Beach, California, until the age of nine before moving to Paramount, California, where his parents opened the Thai Smile restaurant.[6][7] He attended Paramount High School and went on to attend California State University, Long Beach but dropped out to pursue an entertainment career.[8]

    In 2011, Chantarangsu was fired from his job at a California Pizza KitcheninLong Beach for tweeting that their new uniforms were "lame".[5][9] As a child, he developed a business plan modeled after Will Smith, which he called the "Fresh Prince Format"; the plan outlined three career objectives: get a record deal, a television show, and a movie deal.[6]

    YouTube[edit]

    His former stage name, Timothy DeLaGhetto, was inspired by an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.[10]

    Chantarangsu's main YouTube channel had over 4.2 million subscribers and over 895 million video views as of March 31, 2024.[11] It features original skits, parodies, rants, and a series called Dear DeLaGhetto.[12]

    As of March 31, 2024, Chantarangsu had produced over 1,100 vlogs, and has garnered approximately 1.26 million subscribers and over 235 million video views on his vlog channel.[13] The channel consists of collaborations with other musical artists, songs from his albums and mixtapes, and a series called Weekly 16's.[14] In 2017, he retired his rap alias "Traphik".

    His style channel, also known as The Bakery, has over 234,000 subscribers and over 16 million video views. The channel is composed of his fit-of-the-day videos, clothing collections and style videos and interviews with fellow sneaker fans called "Kickin' It".[15] One of his newest video ventures includes an animated web series named Powerhouse in which he plays himself.[16]

    In 2014, Chantarangsu's YouTube Channel was listed on New Media Rockstars Top 100 Channels, ranked at #64.[17]

    Chantarangsu has participated in two episodes of Epic Rap Battles of History, as Kim Jong-Il in Season 1 in 2011 and as Sun Tzu in Season 4 in 2015.

    Chantarangsu began regularly uploading his dating and relationship podcast, No Chaser, onto his main YouTube channel and other podcasting platforms in February 2019. His regular co-hosts include 97.7 KWIN host Nikki Blades and YouTuber Ricky Shucks.[18]

    He co-hosts the food show Send Foodz with fellow YouTuber David So. The show was picked up by Thrillist shortly after its initial debut on Chantarangsu's channel and airs every other Thursday.[19]
