The Filters is an indie alternative math outfit that was formed by co-founders Ian Francis Khoo (lead vocals and guitar) and Aiman Shakirin (drums), with the later addition of Reuben Ravi (bass and keyboard). All three members attended the same high school where they first met under the association of the school’s brass band. Despite their dissimilar tastes in music, the trio began writing and crafting fully formed songs by the end of 2013. The band’s lineup was then complete with the subsequent addition of Iain Chan (guitarist).
