Iñigo Dominic Lazaro Pascual was born on September 14, 1997, in the Philippines.[1] Pascual moved to the United States when he was 8 years old.[2] At the age of 17, he moved back to the Philippines to pursue his career in entertainment.[3]
Pascual's first lead role in film came in 2014 when he starred in the teen romance film Relaks, It's Just Pag-ibig, which was directed by Antoinette Jadaone and Irene Villamor.[4] He played the role of Josh Brillantes, a teenage boy who joined in the journey of a girl who wanted to meet a pair of lovers during a blue moon after she picked up a love letter written by a man named Elias. Piolo Pacual, Iñigo's father, has a special participation in the film as the mysterious letter writer, Elias. The film was produced by Spring Films and distributed by Star Cinema.
In 2015, Pascual starred in another teen romance film, Para sa Hopeless Romantic alongside James Reid, Nadine Lustre, and Julia Barretto. The film was directed by Andoy Ranay and was based on the Marcelo Santos III's bestselling novel of the same name. Pascual played the role of Ryan Sebastian, a fictional character from a story written by Becca, Lustre's character. Pascual then starred in Mae Cruz-Alviar's Crazy Beautiful You with another pair of popular loveteam, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. He played the role of Marcus Alcantara, the stepbrother of Padilla's character who had feelings for Bernardo's character.
After appearing in several episodes of anthology shows such as Maalaala Mo Kaya and Wansapanataym, Pascual landed a role in the afternoon drama series, And I Love You So. He starred in the series alongside Miles Ocampo, Julia Barretto, Dimples Romana, and Angel Aquino. He played the role of Justin Santiago, who was a love interest for both Ocampo's and Barretto's characters.
In 2016, Pascual released his self-titled debut album under Star Music, which included the hit single Dahil Sa'Yo. The song became the first number 1 track of the short-lived Billboard Philippines Top 20 chart.[5] In 2017, Pascual was tapped by Disney Philippines to record the Philippine version of "Remember Me," the theme song from Disney-Pixar's animated movie, Coco.[6] In 2019, Pascual released his first international solo single, Options. The track was produced by LA-based instrumentalist Bernard "HARV" Harvey.[7] On May 6, 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Pascual was featured in 88rising's online music festival called Asia Rising Forever.[8] During the livestream event, Pascual performed a cover of Post Malone's Better Now. In June 2020, Pascual appeared as a musical act in Filipino-American stand-up comedian Jo Koy's Netflix special entitled Jo Koy: In HIs Elements.[9]
