Hailing from Rymbai Village in the Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, the band Dewdrops came together with one common interest to share- music and to promote the message of love, peace and brotherhood through their music.

The band comprises of Rowynk Dkhar as the lead vocalist, Leonard Dkhar as the guitarist and vocalist, Eglancis Dkhar as the lead guitarist, Daioh Lyngdoh on the electric bass, Manavon Massar on keys and Doni Ksih on drums.
