Shaan Singh | Growing Drax Project
Nau mai, hoki mai, and welcome back to the Awkward Talks podcast.
We are stoked to be kicking off this epic season with the man who puts the SAX in DRAX... Shaan Singh.
Shaan is the lead singer of Drax Project, the iconic Kiwi band that started out like many of us; busking on the streets of their hometown, Pōneke Wellington. The band went on to open for the likes of Ed Sheeran and Lorde, following the blow-up of their hit song Woke Up Late featuring Hailey Steinfeld. Today the band has a HEALTHY international fanbase and tour globally, sharing their music and electric energy with the world.
We were lucky to be invited into Shaan's home to get to know more about his and the band's journey to their version of success. This episode is full of hot takes and laughter. Enjoy!
