John Paulo Bagnas Nase (born September 14, 1994), known professionally as Pablo (formerly Sejun), is a Filipino singer, songwriter, rapper, dancer, and record producer. He is a member of the Filipino boy band SB19 and CEO of 1Z Entertainment, a company built and managed by SB19 members.

Early life

[edit]

Pablo was born on September 14, 1994, in Imus, Cavite, Philippines.[1] He is the second-born child along with two sisters and two brothers.[2] In high school, he served as a point guard in their basketball varsity team. He entered college at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and while on his senior year, he worked as a call center representative.[3] After graduating with Bachelor of Arts in English degree, Pablo worked as a data analyst in Makati.[3] He had the passion for performing in his early years but was afraid of sharing it to others except to his inner circles.[3]

Career

[edit]

Pre-debut: Auditions

[edit]

In 2016, Pablo auditioned for ShowBT Philippines after meeting their Korean trainer at a Korean musical.[4] He was being subtle in expressing his skills in performing because he did not want to show it to other people. However, Pablo still pursued performing as it was his passion.[3] He was the first member of SB19 to audition in the talent agency. After passing the auditions, he started training for two years and became part of NARRA trainee group.[5][6] Due to the pressure in the training program, he resigned from his work as a data analyst to focus on the training.[3] The trainee group performed at various events in the agency.[7]

2018–2021: SB19 debut, songwriting and production

[edit]

Of all of the members of SB19, Pablo trained the longest.[8] Implementing the Korean idol training system, ShowBT Philippines conducted evaluations weekly by removing underperforming trainees.[9] Pablo received a slot for the final line-up for SB19 as the band's leader and rapper.[10][11] On 26 October 2018, Pablo debuted with fellow members Josh, Stell, Justin, and Ken with "Tilaluha" written by Pablo himself.[12][13] Being a leader, Pablo always focused on the idea of "always choosing to be kind" reminding their fans and members to be humble always.[14]

Pablo served as the main songwriter of the band's songs participating on all of the singles such as "Go Up" (2019) and "Alab (Burning)" (2020).[15][16][17] Pablo was also credited as the lyricist of the boy band's debut Get in the Zone (2020) released on 31 July 2020.[18] SB19's debut extended play Pagsibol (EP) released on 22 July 2021 was co-produced and written by Pablo.[19]

2022: Solo debut

[edit]

On 28 January 2022, Pablo released his first solo track "La Luna" (2022) under Sony Music Philippines.[20] The song focused about his feelings and beliefs[21] and acceptance of shortcomings free from society's unrealistic and unhealthy expectations.[22]

Pablo started his career in producing outside SB19 with hip-hop group PLAN B's R&B[23] song "Love" released on 13 April 2022.[24][25]

In 2024, Pablo became a coach in GMA Network's adaptation of The Voice Kids, joining his fellow SB19 member Stell, who was also the coach since The Voice Generations.[26]
