Recognized in Rolling Stone India in 2018 as the next global artist to watch out for, Balu is a R&B singer/beatboxer artist with roots in South Asia & Toronto. Balu is the son of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees who made their long journey to Canada in the late 80s and settled in an Afro-Caribbean neighbourhood in Toronto (Eglinton West) where Balu was raised most of his life. His artistry then reflects the East-meets-West nature of his upbringing. Currently, his music is being played on radio stations around the world.
