Band History
Ranuka and Kulunu gave birth to Stat RK in the year 2004. Kulunu who came for his Advanced Level to ST. Anne's College was a very good friend of Ranuka.

They did their utmost in school which made them enthusiastic towards music. When time permitted, they sang in the classroom, in the playground and everywhere.
