Drax Project are Shaan Singh (lead vocals, sax, keys), Matt Beachen (drums), Sam Thomson (bass, keys, BVs) and Ben O'Leary (Guitar, keys, BVs).
From humble beginnings as buskers on the streets of Wellington, New Zealand, their unique Pop RnB sound has seen them supporting the likes of Ed Sheeran and touring Europe with Camilla Cabello and Christina Aguilera. Their performances around the globe have established themselves as one of the world's emerging 'must see' live acts, with highlight US performances including the i-Heart Radio Festival, Rolling Stone Magazine's Coachella party and two sold out headline club shows in New York.
The band's self-titled debut album achieved great success with "Catching Feelings" and "Woke Up Late" receiving global accreditations, including US RIAA Gold and over 20 platinum accreditations across Australasia.
Their collaboration with New York Neo-soul group Phony Ppl on "Catching Feelings" became a hit in the US RnB radio top 40 for much of 21/22.
Drax Project has created an incredible buzz around their music, captivating fans and media champions around the world with their infectious sound and dynamic live shows. As Billboard notes, “Drax Project knows how to put on a show, with four-part harmonies, funky pop beats and a whole lot of charm.” Earmilk calls their R&B-infused pop “catchy, upbeat tracks perfect for summer listening,” while TMRW Magazine praises their “eclectic mix of pop, R&B and jazz with seamless harmonies and irresistible hooks.”
The band has kept moving, perfecting their musical craft and artistic identity, which is evident in their upcoming sophomore album slated for release in 2023 through global giants EMI Music Australia and Avex, featuring celebrated singles Atmosphere and Disrespect (feat. Charley) and ‘Oh My’.
