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 took up a college course on literature and anthropology at The New School[7] in New York City,[8][9] graduating in 2025.[10]
Career
[edit]As an infant and child, Pangilinan (then credited by her nickname Frankie) first appeared, with her mother Sharon Cuneta, in television commercials, including Kimbies, Nido, and McDonald's.[11]
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.[12] It gained millions of streams after she performed it live on Wish 107.5.[13]
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.[14][15]
