The band is composed of sisters Juliet and Ken Sunot on lead vocals, only-male member Rey Abenoja on vocals and guitar, Stella Pabico on keyboards, Rowena Adriano on bass guitar and Vilma Goloviogo on drums. Mercy Sunot was a member up until her death in November 2024.[2] Formerly known as AG's Soundtrippers in clubs and lounges all over Japan, the group changed its name to Aegis (which means "shield" or "protection") upon signing with Alpha Records in 1998.[3][4]
