Jett Pangan (born Reginald Pangan on June 21, 1968) is a Filipino singer and guitarist best known for fronting the Filipino rock bands The Dawn,[1] formed in 1985 and still active to date, and the defunct Jett Pangan Group.

The Dawn and the Jett Pangan Group

Pangan's love for singing was already evident during his grade school and high school years in San Beda College. While attending college at De La Salle University-Manila, he was approached to audition for a band that would later etch its name in the annals of Philippine music history. When The Dawn disbanded in 1995, Jett moved on to work as a recording company executive and was later persuaded to release the solo album "Spell". Not long after, The Jett Pangan Group was formed and successfully released two albums.

The Dawn 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.

Other projects

In between a heavy touring and recording schedule, Jett finds time to act in musical theater, yet another field that earns him critical acclaim.

TV host
