Reginald Jose Pangan (born June 21, 1968), better known as Jett Pangan, is a Filipino actor and musician. He is best known as the lead vocalist and frontman of the Filipino rock band the Dawn and for his work in musical theater and film.[1] Pangan has also released solo music and led the now-defunct Jett Pangan Group, earning recognition as one of the Philippines’ most versatile performers.
Early career
Reginald Jose Pangan was born on June 21, 1968 in Manila, Philippines. He attended his grade school and high school years in San Beda College and attending college at De La Salle University–Manila where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering, briefly working in the field before fully committing to a career in music. Pangan's formal education and early career transition reflect his blend of academic discipline and creative ambition.
Acting career
Pangan has appeared in numerous television and film roles. His film appearances include "Tulad ng Dati" (2006), a musical drama centered on the Dawn's story, as well as roles in "Paano Kita Iibigin" (2007), "Halik sa Hangin" (2015), "The Breakup Playlist" (2015), "Historiographika Errata" (2017), and others. Pangan has also made guest and supporting appearances in Philippine television series such as "FPJ's Ang Probinsyano", "Born for You", "Wildflower", "Marry Me, Marry You", "Flower of Evil", "Lyric and Beat", "Black Rider", "Prinsesa ng City Jail", and "Sins of the Father".
Music career
The Dawn (1985–1995, 1999–present)
Pangan's music career began in 1985, he was approached to audition for a band that would later become one of the most successful rock bands in the Philippines, The Dawn alongside Teddy Diaz, JB Leonor, and Clay Luna. The band quickly rose to prominence in the Philippine Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene with classic hits such as "Salamat", "Enveloped Ideas", and "Iisang Bangka Tayo". Their debut album The Dawn was released in 1986, followed by several albums through the early 1990s.
After the disbandment of the Dawn in 1995, the band would later on hold a sold-out reunion concert at the ULTRA basketball stadium in 1997, an event that didn't prove to be the spark that would ignite a re-grouping. However, in 1999, the band members were unanimous in taking the Dawn back on the road.
With The Dawn, Pangan has toured widely and celebrated milestones such as their Almost 40 concert in 2025, showcasing longevity in the rock music landscape. He has also released solo material, including the single "Lipad" in 2018.
Solo work and Jett Pangan Group (1995–2001)
When the Dawn disbanded in 1995, Pangan moved on to work as a recording company executive and was later persuaded to release the solo album, Spell.[2] Pangan formed the Jett Pangan Group, releasing two albums including The Jett Pangan Group and Daylight. They disbanded in 2001 after which Pangan rejoined The Dawn in 1999 and has continued to perform with the band across multiple decades.[3]
Theater career
In between touring and recording, Pangan finds time to act in musical theater that he made his musical theater debut in 2000.[4] In 2001, his first musical theater involvement was in the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar as the role of Pontius Pilate together with fellow musicians Rico Blanco and Noel Cabangon. He was also involved in local productions such as tick, tick… BOOM! (2002), Jekyll and Hyde, Nine, Next to Normal, and Beauty and the Beast that he played as Beast.[5] He would later play the lead role in an international musical production of Stephen Soundheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street as Sweeney Todd in 2019 alongside actress/singer Lea Salonga.[6]
Personal life
Pangan is married to Elizabeth Tirona on June 18, 1994.[7] They have two children: Erica Ramone and Rafael (Rafi).[8]
