# Jett Pangan

Reginald Jose Pangan (born June 21, 1968), better known as Jett Pangan, is a Filipino actor and musician best known for fronting the Filipino rock bands the Dawn, and the now defunct, the Jett Pangan Group. He is also an actor, appearing in several theater plays, TV, and films, most notably his role in Tulad ng Dati and his lead role in the musical production of Sweeney Todd and he played as the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.

## Music career
### The Dawn (1985–1995, 1999–present)

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 become one of the most successful rock bands in the Philippines, the Dawn.
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.

### 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. Not long after, the Jett Pangan Group was formed and successfully released two albums.
They disbanded in 2001 with Pangan continuing to perform with the Dawn.

## Theater career

In between touring and recording, Pangan finds time to act in musical theater. In 2001, his first musical theater involvement was in the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar together with fellow musicians Rico Blanco and Noel Cabangon. He was also involved in local productions of Jekyll and Hyde and Nine. He would later play the lead role in an international musical production of Stephen Soundheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 2019 alongside actress/singer Lea Salonga.

## Personal life

Pangan is married to Elizabeth Tirona on June 18, 1994. They have two children: Erica Ramone and Rafael (Rafi).
