Balu Brigada craft multi-dimensional alternative pop layered with levels of lush live instrumentation, cinematic production, and festival-ready hooks. Henry and Pierre Beasely—the Auckland, NZ-born duo of brothers, co-vocalists, co-writers, and co-producers Balu Brigada—effectively step through a sonic doorway with their music.  Since high school, they independently honed their chops for years until landing a deal with Warner Music Australia, Atlantic Music Group and ARRO Records in the United States. The group cultivated their signature sound with the I Should Be Home EP [2022] and Find A Way EP [2023]—highlighted by the fan favorite “Designer” which amassed 26 million Spotify streams and counting. Along the way, they also incited the applause of everyone from Rolling Stone, Coup de Main, i-D, and OnesToWatch to People who christened them “Best New Artist.” Twenty One Pilots even notably selected Balu Brigada as special guests on their massive “Clancy Tour” across North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the UK. The duo reached critical mass with their track “So Cold.” It not only gathered 34 million total streams and counting, but it also notched their very first #1 at radio in the US, claiming the top spot at Alternative. They made their late-night television debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! with a stunning performance of the song. Plus, it claimed a coveted spot on the FIFA 2025 Official Soundtrack, and SiriusXM spotlighted it as a “Critical Cut.” After piling up hundreds of millions of streams and selling out shows, the band elevate to another stratosphere altogether on their full-length debut album, Portal,  introduced by the single “Backseat.”
