The group was started at the beginning of 2012 by the name, Out Of Focus. The founding members of Out Of Focus were Aditya, Acharya, and Anubhav Gupta. Aditya, a Grade 5 drummer from Trinity College of Music, London, always craved to form a band in his college. He met up with Anubhav Gupta, a keyboard player from the same college. They formed the band after exhausting days of going through each and every aspirant to select the perfect band. Finally, the shortlisted four were Prateem Mukherjee (Lead Vocals), Aman Raj (Rhythm Guitar), Naoba Thounaojam (Bass Guitar), Shashank Mehra (Vocals/Percussions), and Eliso Keishing (Lead Guitar). The band gave its first stage performance at PGDAV College where they were the only Hindi band amongst the other metal bands. The first success came for the band when they stood third at the SGTB Khalsa College’s Battle of The Bands. The Band was renamed Dravaka and the new line-up was Amit Sharma (Drums), Aditya Dutt (Guitars), Saksham Aggarwal (Guitars), Anubhav Gupta (Keyboards), Shashank Mehra (Lead Vocals / Percussions / Harmonica), Gaurav Ghoshal (Flute), and Vishnu Vijayan (Tabla).
