Drax Project: Painting Houses, Woke Up Late, and Advice from Ed Sheeran

07/10/19 • 71 min
Drax Project is our guest this week and once again, I am your host Zach of the Auxoro podcast, where speak with music artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, and other interesting humans to explore the story beyond the surface. For those of you who are not familiar with Drax Project, shame on you. Just kidding, but now you have no excuse not to know who these guys are and for good reason because they’ll only be getting bigger. In a few short years, Drax Project went from busking on the streets of Wellington New Zealand to signing to a major label, 300 Entertainment. They actually hung up, accidentally, on Kevin Liles the CEO of 300 entertainment, the first time they got a call from him. What a power move. The first time I get a call from a major podcasting network, I’m gonna hang up on them and demand a max contract. We’ll see how that works out.
Last year, they released the smash hit ‘Woke Up Late,’ which Hailee Steinfeld then hopped on. It currently has nearly 50 million hits on Spotify. The group then made a music video for Woke Up Late featuring YouTube star Liza Koshy and they absolutely killed it.
A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Drax Project live at Soho House and was blown away. When they whipped out the saxophone I knew that I had to have them on the podcast. On this episode, Matt and Sam of Drax Project talk how the band came to be, opening for Ed Sheeran, painting houses, how they are inspired by The 1975, and more. For some reason, the connection was a bit spotty at certain points in the podcast. I realize that it’s not the best audio quality which can be frustrating as a listener, but it is top quality conversation. So thank you for sticking with us for this episode. We love you. Without further ado, here is our wide-ranging conversation with Drax Project.

Previous Episode
Ian Kerner (She Comes First): The Art of Cunnilingus, Tongue Techniques, and Sex Playlists
This time, we sat down with Dr. Ian Kerner, a licensed psychotherapist, nationally recognized sexual counselor, and author of the bestselling book She Comes First. Although the foundation of the Auxoro podcast will always be music, we’ve recently been branching out to include conversations from other lanes like business, sports, science, and other interesting fields. I want to follow my curiosity, even if it leads me outside of music, and I hope that you come along for the ride. What better subject to explore that curiosity than the art of going down on a woman. In this conversation, Dr. Kerner opens up on the journey through his early sexual experiences, tongue techniques, and what most guys (and girls) get wrong in the bedroom.
