Formed in 2012, the band is comprised of Josh Villena (vocals and guitars), Kai Honasan (keyboards and vocals), Neil Tin (guitars), EJ Edralin (synth), Timothy “Pabs” Vargas (bass) and Gep Macadag (drums). They agreed on naming the band Autotelic, which means “doing productive things for the sake of self-fulfillment and internal reward as opposed to worldly and external motivation.”
