Simone Francesca Emmanuelle "Frankie" Cuneta Pangilinan (Tagalog pronunciation: [kuˈnɛtɐ paŋɪˈlinan]; born December 16, 2000), also known by her stage name Kakie (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈkakɪ]), is a Filipino singer-songwriter.[1]

Early life and education

[edit]

Pangilinan was born to singer-actress Sharon Cuneta and Francis Pangilinan, who would later be elected as senator the following year.[2] She comes from a clan of performing artists and politicians.[3][4][5][6]

She attended high school at the Beacon Academy in Biñan and is currently taking a college course on literature and anthropology at The New School[7] in New York City.[8][9]

Career

[edit]

As an infant and child, Pangilinan (then credited by her nickname Frankie) first appeared in TV commercials with her mother Sharon Cuneta, including Kimbies, Nido and McDonald's.[10]

In July 2019, Kakie released her first single, "TYL" ("true young lovers"), produced by former Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia, who also played guitar for the track.[11] It gained millions of streams after she performed it on Wish 107.5.[12]

In June 2021, she released her seven-track extended play entitled abOUT hER SPACE, led by the track "afterparty" and distributed by her record label Curve Entertainment.[13][14]
