Donny with Universal Records

Donny Pangilinan (photo) is certainly not a fresh face in the industry. With an ongoing career as a MYX VJ, TV guesting and acting stints, a growing fanbase and actors Maricel Laxa and Anthony Pangilinan as parents, the 19 year old is set to have a flourishing career path.

But his passion for showbiz does not end there. Last June 20, Donny officially joined the prestigious Universal Records roster and took on a venture in the music industry.

In August, Donny will release his debut single, Did You, which he co-wrote and co-produced. Donny disclosed that his upcoming album will feature songs that are drawn both from his life encounters and the experiences of others, as he wants his tracks to be relatable. Moreover, the social media heartthrob revealed that the public can expect several singles to come out soon, but does not want to divulge too much information as he wants everything to be a “big surprise” for his fans.

In his MYX interview, the new Universal Records star expressed his palpable excitement for his newfound endeavor, stating that his album is a fusion of different music genres.

Donny aims to astound his fans through his album and singles that are set to launch very soon. The upand-coming recording artist expressed that he is beyond grateful to his parents, family and God for the support that propelled him to start a music career. Known for his musical inclination, Donny credits his music idols such as his Tito Gary Valenciano, Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber for being his biggest music influences.
