For a band that is set to represent India at the Asia Cup A Capella Competition in August, Voctronica has many a funny story to revisit when discussing its foray into music. Avinash Tiwari aspired to be a drummer, but the lack of funds to purchase a set had him train his attention to beat boxing, which "required no investment". Co-bandmate Nagesh Reddy — an avid follower of the group who eventually became part of it — recalls taking to beat-boxing when a Google search for the restaurant Fat Boy's Kitchen landed him on a YouTube video of beat-boxers' group, Fat Boys. Today, he teaches the art as part of a newly introduced Hip-Hop syllabus at Mumbai University, and has a three-year experience as teacher at AR Rahman-backed Dharavi Project. Clyde Rodrigues remembers an official from a music channel offering him a spot in a desi version of a One Direction-like band that was being put together. When that project fell apart, she directed him towards this ensemble.

The band employs many such humble anecdotes as they try to underplay their achievements, but member Arjun Nair states precisely why they've managed to add so many feathers to their cap. "This is among the most hard-working bands I've come across. Each of us knows what we bring to the group, and we all want to be good at what we do. A few years later, we may look at this version of ourselves and laugh, because we won't stop evolving," he says, of the ensemble that counts its gigs at the Moscow Spring A Capella Festival (Russia, 2019), Rider's Music Festival (Delhi, 2017) and the Emerge Festival (Mumbai, 2015) as among their most defining.
