Drax Project drew
massive crowds and praise from concert-goers and critics alike with their
mind-blowing opening slots for Ed
Sheeran at Mt
Smart last month.
Presented by ZMand Eccles Entertainment,
the band’s two Powerstation shows follow on from their
chart-topping smash hit
Woke Up Late,
which has amassed 6.3 million streams on Spotify. The song has also spent weeks
on Top 40 radio in New Zealand, reaching #1 in the radio pop charts and #2 all
airplay - an amazing feat for a local act. The single has also been certified
Platinum.
Drax Projectstarted life as a drums and sax busking duo - Shaan Singh and Matt Beachen -
making a name for themselves in Wellington with their busking sessions on
Courtney Place. They soon grew into a four-piece enlisting Sam Thomson on bass
and Ben O’Leary on guitar.
Their debut EP
T/W/OO was
released in April 2016, followed by a
Live Covers EP in 2017. Then came the breakthrough hit
Woke Up Late at the
end of 2017.
They have also just released
Light - a collaboration with top 40 rapper Famous
Dex - on US label 300.
