Underneath that Bad Boy image, David is actually a gentle man at heart. The third year teacher enjoys playing computer games with his nephew and reads anything he can get his hands on. He moved to the States from Thailand when he was two and practically grew up in the US, duly considering himself “a transplant from Asia”. Making these videos serve as a stress relieving activity for this man who regularly goes insane after a day of teaching 7th and 8th graders.
Describe yourself in three words.
Witty. Comical. Entertaining. I would have included sexy, but that’s already a given.
Tell us how you guys got started?
I started lipsynching through Joseph and Tommy and we actually made our first video three years ago. It was awful! My fans must think that I like to take my top off but the truth is - Tommy and Joseph convinced me too.
How fast was the response after you guys released your first video?
The response was tremendous and extremely fast. We did not know there was so much interest in the Mischievious Boys and before we knew it, we have a Mischievious Boys For Life (MBFL) fan club. You guys in Singapore should definitely join.
Was it more hate mail than fan mail?
I received a little of both. I try not to read the hate mail if I see it. But right now my mailbox is getting full so to all our fans, please do not send me anymore mail until I manage to clear some away. Sometimes I wished I had a personal secretary to help me with the replies. Sorry to those I have yet to reply, I will do it a soon as I can.
Any stalkers thus far?
I won’t call them stalkers, just fanatics. We have been approached by people who recognize us from our music videos. There was once when Tommy, Edward and me were in San Francisco for New Years when a couple of Asian guys recognized us. They started pointing and smiling and said, “Mischievious Boys” and we smiled back and waved. We felt quite flattered actually.
Quirky Quickie:
David would love to take part in Survivor because he loves to be challenged mentally and physically. And because there are a lot of cute guys in the show too.
Have you guys ever thought of expanding the cast or allowing cameo appearances by some celebrities?
Definitely. We have been thinking about it. I would personally like a star from Singapore to fly over here and do a video appearance. Wouldn’t you?
What does your family think of your lip synching performances?
Unfortunately, both of my parents are gone and they never had the opportunity to see any of the videos but my siblings have seen our videos and found them really funny.
Have you guys ever thought the 235guys and the Mischievious boys can do something together? Maybe something like Live Aid?
That would be awesome. Maybe sometime in the future?
Have you guys seen our NUMtees? Which is your favorite?
Yes and I think they’re cute. I love them all.
Have you guys tried talking to Mattel to make toy figures of yourselves? With gyrating hips and all.
(Laughs) I never considered that actually but I will definitely keep that in mind.
