Pangeaux

{pain-go} Artist/Singer-songwriter Pangeaux might sound like he belongs in a Parisian café, but he’s actually from an Italian family in Newport, Kentucky. The name “Pangeaux” stems from his nickname “Pango,” derived from his surname. He just added a French-sounding twist because, well, it looked cooler (and sounded more expensive). Hailing from Newport, KY, Pangeaux makes music that lives in its own lane: Pang&B. A smooth fusion of R&B, hip-hop, and late-night passion, his sound pulls from a wide net of influences—J. Cole, The Weeknd, Bryson Tiller, Drake, Sade, Jack Johnson, and Post Malone, just to name a few. On the production side, he’s inspired by the legends: Timbaland, Pharrell, Mike Dean, Metro Boomin, FKi 1st, and Ye—back when he was producing classics, and not Twitter rants. Everything Pangeaux drops is mixed and mastered by hand—his, and nobody else’s. After a promising college basketball career was cut short by a hip injury, he pivoted hard into music. Now seven years deep, he’s not just finding his sound—he’s shaping it. With over 5 million streams on breakout single, “Holdin On”, and credits engineering full projects for artists like E the Profit, Pangeaux isn’t waiting on a wave. He’s already building the next one.
