Early Life and Education

Mariel Daniella Sophia Pangilinan was born on September 1, 2004, in Manila, Philippines, to actress-singer Sharon Cuneta and politician Francis Pangilinan.

She is the second of three children from their marriage and grew up in an artistic and politically active household alongside older half-sister KC Concepcion and younger siblings Kakie and Miguel.

Miel spent several childhood years in the United States while her father served as a senator, and she completed high school at the British School Manila. She is currently pursuing a degree in Communication Arts at Ateneo de Manila University while balancing her music and acting career. She identifies as queer and has been vocal about mental health and LGBTQ+ advocacy from a young age.

Career

Miel Pangilinan first gained public attention through her entire life simply for being Sharon and Kiko’s daughter, but she consciously stepped into the spotlight in 2020–2021 through TikTok and Instagram covers that showcased her rich, emotive vocals.

Her raw rendition of songs by artists like Lizzy McAlpine and Conan Gray quickly went viral in the Philippines, earning praise for sounding strikingly similar to her mother yet distinctly her own.

In 2022 she officially signed with Star Magic and Star Music, making her acting debut in the iWantTFC series Tara, G! and releasing her debut single “Tadhana” the same year.

Her follow-up singles “Smilestones” (2022), “Di Ko Alam” (2023), and the folk-pop track “Liham sa Ulap” (2024) received strong streaming numbers and critical praise for their lyrical maturity and vocal control.

Miel also joined her mother and sister Kakie in the sold-out 2023 concert series “Dear Heart” and performed at major festivals such as Wanderland 2024. She has appeared in supporting roles in ABS-CBN teleseryes and continues to release music that explores love, identity, and coming-of-age themes.

Miel Pangilinan balances a full college course load with an increasingly busy entertainment career. She headlined her first solo concert “Miel at 20” in 2024 and released her debut EP Lumipad under Star Music in early 2025 to positive reviews.

With over 1.2 million Instagram followers and a reputation for thoughtful, diary-like songwriting, she has emerged as one of the most promising Gen-Z voices in Original Pilipino Music while proudly carrying (yet redefining) the Cuneta-Pangilinan legacy.
