Since 2018, he has been part of the all-male vocal trio BuDaKhel along with Bugoy Drilon and Daryl Ong.

Besides singing, Pangilinan can play the guitar without taking up formal lessons because his parents are into music. His R&B vocal style was influenced by musicians including Luke Mejares and Duncan Ramos.[4] Among his musical influences were Janno Gibbs, Jay R and Brian McKnight.[5]
