Giancarlo "Gian" Alzate Magdangal (born November 18, 1981 in Manila, Philippines), is a Filipino singer, performer, and theater actor currently signed to ABS-CBN. A former boy band member of 17:28, he rose to prominence as one of the runners-up of Philippine Idol in 2006. Magdangal was dubbed during the competition as the "Livewire Idol".
He is a cousin of actress and fellow singer Jolina Magdangal.
Magdangal claimed that he started to sing when he was 2 years old, as he was singing lullabies to his grandmother. He grew up listening to Broadway musicals, Stevie Wonder, Boyz II Men, and Brian McKnight. Seeing his potential as a singer, he was sent to undergo voice lessons at St. Scholastica's College's Conservatory of Music. He also received vocal training from Trumpets Playshop, Sweet Plantado, Mon Faustino, Audie Gemora, Freddie Santos, and Carlo Orosa.
Magdangal's early musical exposure was during high school in La Salle Green Hills when he became part of the Kundirana. It was there where he realized how singing can touch and change lives. During his stint in Kundirana, he perfected his craft in music while still balancing a busy lifestyle as a stage actor in his school's drama club. He was also a member of Tiples de Sto. Domingo, an all-boys choir based in Quezon City.
