The Dawn originated as a nameless trio in the
mid-'80s with guitarist Teddy Diaz, Junboy
Leonor (drums), and Clay Luna (bass). At
first, Diaz was the group's singer. The band
then unsuccessfully tried looking for a
female vocalist. They met Jett Pangan while
he was pretending to help a girl audition for
the group. After hearing Pangan sing, the
band hired him to be their vocalist. When
Luna moved to the U.S., he was replaced by
Carlos "Caloy" Balcells. In 1986, the group
called themselves the Dawn, named after a
portrait of the Holy Spirit that symbolized
the dawn of a new life. With "Enveloped
Ideas," the Dawn became underground
superstars, a vibrant new wave act in a
country then dominated by easy listening
artists.
present line-up:
Jett Pangan (Lead vocals & Pioneering member)
