Beginning as music students busking on the streets, Drax Project have grown into one of the most watched groups ever to come out of New Zealand, with the singles off the self-titled debut album (300/Universal) having collected over 400 million streams worldwide, and 22 Platinum certifications to date.
Through their own headline tours + international festival performances and opening for the likes of Ed Sheeran, Christina Aguilera, Lorde, Brian McKnight & Camilla Cabello, the band have established themselves as one of the world’s ‘must see’ live acts.
Drax Project’s first release of 2022, ‘Crazy’, saw the band team up with multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated artists/producers Grey, along with Grammy-award winning mixer Tom Norris, to create the unashamedly dance floor slamming, retro-club-tinged pop-funk homage.
In this episode, host and head of entertainment at Mediaweek and Chattr, Anita Anabel spoke with Shaan Singh and Sam Thomson about their new album Upside, their journey as a band, what their go-to karaoke songs are and everything in between.
Anita, Shaan and Sam were joined by Alisha Buaya, Mediaweek's resident Drax Project aficianado!
