Drax Project is an eclectic pop band from Wellington, New Zealand, known for their dynamic blend of pop, R&B, jazz, and electronic influences. The group began as a busking quartet in 2013, when saxophonist Shaan Singh and guitarist Matt Beachen started playing music together on the streets. They were soon joined by bassist Sam Thomson and drummer Ben O'Leary, completing the lineup that would elevate the band from local street performers to international contenders.

With their eyes set on global stages, Drax Project gained recognition for their energetic live performances and catchy tunes. They rose to prominence with their self-titled EP in 2017, which included the hit single "Woke Up Late." Since then, they have continued to build their discography with an array of singles that showcase their versatility and ability to craft infectious melodies. Some of their recent releases include tracks like "Upside," "Oh My," and "Disrespect," as well as the collaborative effort "Castaway" and the "Blind Beat EP." Drax Project has also shown a penchant for partnerships and remix culture with songs like "Catching Feelings" featuring Phony Ppl and "Over It," remixed by Cedric Gervais. Their music continues to garner attention both in New Zealand and internationally, positioning Drax Project as one of the most exciting names in the pop music landscape.
