[6] From his father's side, Myaing has Mon ancestry, and hails from a long line of British colonial era senior civil servants and Konbaung period nobility.
[5] He enrolled at the University of Yangon, majoring in geology in 1987 but was left stranded a year later[5] when the military government shut down all the schools in the country, following the 8888 Uprising.
After graduating from the school with a degree in audio and music production in 1992,[5] he returned to Myanmar, and released his first album Moe Dway Ywa Nay Chein Khana later that year.
His musical sensibilities lay more with remixing Eurodance and American rap hits and with creating more soulful, if heavily synthesized, love songs.
[note 3] He has also remixed and covered several Burmese hits of previous eras, ranging from older covers of Western songs like Gangawdaw Myo Aung's "Moe Baw Hma Nay Gyin De" to older original-tune hits like Mar Mar Aye's "Sinza Ya Ohn Me".
[3] Myaing forged ahead with his own brand of dance themed, remixed, rap-influenced music, epitomized by "Thagya Min", and "A-Hmat-Ta-Ya Thingyan", as well as slower synthpop songs like "Hsu Taung Ge Bu De" and "Thissa Shi Gyay".
His 2004 "My Name is Myo Kyawt Myaing" announces that:[7] His unique brand of music achieved enormous success in Myanmar, culminating in Lu Phyit Ya De Dokkha (2004).
He collaborated with the top film actress and singer Htun Aeindra Bo in Da-Ge Ma Chit Phe Ne (2009).
[12] Myaing has devoted part of his time to teaching audio engineering since 2013 when he began working as a lecturer at the Myanmar Media Development Center.
