Background
Drax Project's members are all originally from different towns in New Zealand; Shaan grew up in Kapiti, Matt in Upper Hutt, Sam in New Plymouth and Ben from Waihi Beach. Matt and Shaan met at a young musician's jazz programme in Wellington as young teens and played separately and together in high school jazz competitions around New Zealand as teens. Matt and Shaan started busking together in their first year of attending university at The New Zealand School Of Music's jazz programme. Sam and Ben joined as Sam also attended the same university school of music and Ben at Whitirea University's music programme not far from Wellington. Drax Project; composed of Shaan Singh on saxophone and Matt Beachen on drums (the origin of the band's name is a portmanteau of 'drums' and 'sax').{{cite web|url=https://concreteplayground.com/auckland/arts-entertainment/art/nine-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-drax-project/|title=Nine Things You Probably Didn't Know About Drax Project|author=Connor, Fiona|date=13 December 2016|accessdate=15 April 2018|archive-date=26 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826064007/https://concreteplayground.com/auckland/arts-entertainment/art/nine-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-drax-project/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.zmonline.com/music/the-word-nz-on-air/drax-project-seemed-like-trouble/|title=Drax Project - Seemed Like Trouble|publisher=NZME|date=4 May 2016|accessdate=15 April 2018|archive-date=20 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720033924/http://www.zmonline.com/music/the-word-nz-on-air/drax-project-seemed-like-trouble|url-status=live}} Drax Project mostly performed pop song covers while busking at Courtenay Place, Wellington and performing at local bars and events.{{cite web |url=https://www.13thfloor.co.nz/drax-project-the-13th-floor-interview/ |title=Drax Project – The 13th Floor Interview |author=Gruar, Tim |publisher=The 13th Floor |date=25 February 2018 |accessdate=15 April 2018 |archive-date=3 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210303014546/https://www.13thfloor.co.nz/drax-project-the-13th-floor-interview/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web | title=Interview: Drax Project | url=http://www.massivemagazine.org.nz/interview-drax-project | publisher=Massive Magazine |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180202125358/http://www.massivemagazine.org.nz/interview-drax-project |archivedate=2 February 2018 | accessdate=15 April 2018}} Double bassist Sam Thomson joined shortly after, and guitarist Ben O'Leary joined the band a year after, when the band made the switch to creating original material.
