Filip Rudan is a Croatian singer, guitarist and songwriter, born on 20 May 1999 in Zagreb, where he grew up in the Sopot neighbourhood. His music blends pop with indie rock, and he writes mostly in English, with some songs in Croatian. He has a bachelor's degree in sociology.

He first became known through television talent shows, among them Supertalent, RTL Zvijezde and The Voice Hrvatska. In 2021 he took part in Dora, the Croatian Eurovision selection, with his debut single "Blind" and finished fifth; he later recorded the song in Croatian as "Kad me svojim nazvala".

In 2022 he won the Porin award for best new artist, and in 2023 the Music Pub Oliver award for singer of the year. In November 2023 he released his debut album Everyday View, two years in the making and produced by Niko Nobilo and Ivan Orešković. It is sung in English except for the Croatian "Razine", and its singles were "He's Not The One", "Girl With The Brown Puppet", "The Outside" and the title song. "The Outside" won him a second Porin in 2024, for best male vocal performance.

Among his notable concerts are the New Year's Eve show on Zagreb's main square and the tribute concert for Aki Rahimovski in Arena Zagreb. Newer singles such as "Dry Your Eyes", "Delusion" and "Away" followed the album.
