  Jett Pangan, the lead vocalist of the “The Dawn,” shares how rock music and theatre enrich his artistic pursuits in life.

  “There’s mutualism between doing theater and rock music—one enriches the other. The techniques and principles I pick up in theater, I get to apply in my band life, and vice versa,” said The Dawn’s frontman.

  “Being in a rock band, you get thrown in different venues or situations. All that’s left onstage is you—it’s up to you to connect to the audience, despite everything. And theater has equipped me with tools to become a better performer and person,” he added.

  “Dapat may lakas ka ng loob. And being in a band helps you grow balls of steel, because you play at different types of venues for different and, at times, unpredictable crowds. You never know what to expect,” describing his experience in musical.

  “You have to keep yourself interesting and centered.”
