Joni Anwar
Thai actor
Joni Anwar, also known as Joni Raptor (born 30 August 1981), is a Thai singer and actor.
Early life and education
Anwar was born in Bangkok, to an Indonesian father and a Scottish mother. He graduated from Bangkok Patana School in 2000, after which he went on to study business in South Hampton, New York in the United States.
Career
Anwar started his career making television commercials for Ovaltine, Bata and Krissadanakorn before signing a record deal with RS Promotion.
In 1994, Anwar began his musical career in the pop dance duo Raptor with Louis Scott. After the group disbanded in 1998, Joni contributed to his younger brother's self-titled debut album, Anan Anwar. Not long after that, Joni began a solo career and released three albums: Bad Boy, Freeman and Outtaspace.
Raptor
Anwar and Louis Scott were 12 and 13 years old when they released their self-titled debut album, Raptor, in August 1994. They were the youngest singers in Thailand at that time. The duo's name was inspired by the famous two dinosaurs in the kitchen scene at the end of the movie Jurassic Park, and the duo liked the suggestion of "rap" in "raptor."
"Kid Thung Ter" (Missing you) was a big hit.

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
