Early Life and Education

Simone Francesca Emmanuelle Pangilinan was born on December 13, 2000, in Makati City, Philippines, to actress-singer Sharon Cuneta and politician Francis Pangilinan.

The youngest biological child of the couple, she grew up in Manila and Boston during her father’s years as a senator and later presidential adviser.

Kakie attended the International School Manila for high school and later enrolled at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2023 with a degree in Songwriting and Music Production.

She publicly came out as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2018 and has since been an outspoken advocate for queer youth and mental health awareness.

Career

Kakie Pangilinan announced herself to the music world in November 2018 with the self-written and self-produced single “TYL” (short for “Talk You Later”), released independently when she was just 17. The lo-fi heartbreak ballad went viral overnight, racking up millions of streams and earning comparisons to early Billie Eilish and Clairo.

She followed it with “Sorry” (2019) and “Ang Pag-ibig” (2020), both of which showcased her whispery vocals, confessional lyrics, and minimalist production style.

In 2021 she signed with Universal Records Philippines and released her debut EP “kakie” (stylized in lowercase), featuring the hit single “kailangan kita” that peaked inside the Spotify Philippines Top 50.

She has since dropped a steady stream of singles including “when i die i want your hands on my eyes” (2022), “123” (2023), and “ikaw” (2024), many produced entirely in her bedroom studio. Kakie joined her mother Sharon and sister Miel for the historic “Dear Heart” concert series in 2023 and performed at Wanderland Music Festival 2024. She is widely respected for writing, recording, and mixing most of her own material.

Kakie continues to release music on her own timeline, often teasing new songs directly to fans on Instagram Live. Her second EP is scheduled for release in 2026.

With over 10 million career streams, a fiercely loyal fanbase, and frequent sold-out intimate shows, she has established herself as a leading voice in the Philippine indie scene while proudly carrying forward the Cuneta musical legacy in her own quiet, powerful way.
