Jan Kurt Anthony Pasion Nieto (born June 13, 1981) is a Filipino male
singer who rose to prominence as one of the runners-up of Philippine
Idol in 2006. With the height of 5' 10½" (179 cm) and weighing 165
pounds (74 kg), he was dubbed as the "Hunky Idol" during the
competition. He is currently a talent of GMA Network.Nieto is the
youngest son of Rolando Nieto and Etherlyn Pasion (both medical
doctors) in a brood of six. His mother is also an undersecretary of
the Department of Health. His parents named all of their children with
the initials "J" and "K", as his siblings are named Joseph Kenneth,
Johnielle Keith, James Kenrick, Judy Kristine, and Janelle Kathleen.
When he was born at the Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Manila's Santa
Mesa district, his sisters insisted on adding the name "Anthony"
because he was born on the Feast of San Antonio de Padua. He was often
teased as a child for his dark skin, calling him "Nognog". His
brother, Johnielle Keith (Kit), currently serves as the Mayor of
Cainta.He studied in Ateneo de Manila University from Preparatory
until he graduated with a degree in Management Engineering. The first
song he learned to sing is "My Love Will See You Through" by Marco
Sison when he was 7 years old. When his father heard him sing while
singing Christmas carols in their home, he would make him sing in
front of house guests during parties, although he considered himself
as the shy type in the family.Nieto started singing in public when he
was in second year high school as part of a class Christmas caroling
and had no formal vocal training, except being a member of a church
choir and receiving criticisms from his father and informal training
from his older brother Johnielle Keith who works as a lawyer. He also
tried to join his college glee club, but only stayed for several weeks
because of the difficulty of catching up with his co-members. Jan Nieto Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
