New up and coming artist Balu, is paving his way into the Bollywood scene and is the performer to watch out for! Featured in Rolling Stones India, Complex magazine, and CBC music, Balu is ascending his way up into his division and raising eyebrows. His songs encompass a unique and strong influence from Toronto, the city he was raised in, with a fusion of his south Asian heritage. The two influences give his music a new and fresh feel good Bollywood vibe that has never been heard before. The artist translates messages through his music about growing up in the city and unapologetically expressing his true honest self, while challenging the stigma associated with male expression. With his distinctive sound, the singer recently includes his father on his latest song to set a true Bollywood mood.
