Harvey and Tulsi met at the University of Surrey, graduating in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Tulsi studied Music and was heavily involved in events management and performing, whilst Harvey studied Creative Music Technology and specialised in composition, sampling and production of acoustic music. During their time together at Surrey they would frequently collaborate, with Harvey playing in Tulsi's bands on a number of occasions, thus forming the bedrock of Varuna.
