Joaquin Lucas Miguel S. Reyes known by his stage name Joaquin Reyes is a Filipino teen actor, singer and songwriter. He is a member of Gimme 5 an all-boy group in the Philippines signed under ABS-CBN, Star Magic and Star Music.

Joaquin Reyes made his first acting stint in Muling Buksan Ang Puso where he plays young Leonel Beltran, the younger version of Enchong Dee's character. After a lot of stints & guestings, that particular episode made his break through the walls of the TV industry. He shared that since his appearance from the show, Star Magic immediately kept in touch with them. He also shared that, after few months since he appeared, he guested on Minute to Win It along with not knowingly his soon-to-be group mates, Grae Fernandez & Brace Arquiza. Joaquin described that they went through make overs, trainings & other preparations while being clueless that they were going to be formed as a group. Currently, he is a member of Gimme 5.

Reyes, before joining Gimme 5, has done various commercials including his very first commercial 'drumline' from Milo. Since then, Joaquin did lots of commercials until he slowly entered the TV industry. One of his first lead roles was in an episode of Jollitown. In Season 4, Episode 10, he portrayed "Jason" who doesn't have any patience to learn things. At first, he never thought of being a celebrity or anything that is in the show business. He admits that when he joined the group didn't know what to do as things paced by quickly.

Joaquin said that the life of being in a boy group for him is very fun. He said that lots of things changed since the moment that they were launched. He described it as one of the best things you can do, having fun with your work.

Reyes wrote a song for their second album 'Sophomore'. He said that both him & Nash submitted around 3-4 of their songs, and the management picked 1 each. 'Hindi Ko Alam' is the title of the song that Joaquin wrote. They often joke about the title of the song on their shows asking each other what the next song is. He shares a 'not so typical' story on how he wrote the song which has also no way to do with the lyrics. On his international musical influences, he mentioned lots of bands in different interviews including, The Beatles, One Direction, Bee Gees, Imagine Dragons. For his local influence, he said his music is heavily influenced "Eraserheads", especially Ely Buendia since lots of The Heads' songs are written by Buendia.
