From Haryana’s Heart to the World: Shivanshu Balhara is Redefining Independent Music Through Emotion, Culture, and Originality

An independent artist, songwriter, lyricist, and storyteller, Shivanshu Balhara brings a fresh and emotional voice to the Indian music and theatre scene  blending local roots with global sounds.

In a time when mainstream music often prioritizes trends over truth, one voice rising from Haryana is choosing a different path  one of raw emotion, cultural depth, and fearless independence. Shivanshu Balhara, an emerging independent artist, is steadily building his legacy through original songs, Haryanvi theatre, and relatable storytelling across languages and genres.

Whether he’s penning heartbreak in Hindi, spitting bars in English, or performing an emotional Haryanvi play, Shivanshu doesn’t just entertain  he connects. With a background rooted in regional art and a vision reaching global ears, he’s becoming a multi-dimensional artist to watch.

A Journey Fueled by Emotion and Authenticity

Hailing from Haryana, Shivanshu’s artistic journey began on stage, writing and performing emotionally resonant Haryanvi plays that mixed comedy with a deeper human touch. What began as local theatre soon evolved into songwriting  a natural transition for someone who views music as a form of emotional storytelling.

“Music is not just sound, it’s a story of emotions,” says Shivanshu. And that belief echoes in every piece of work he releases.

His debut album “UNDONE”, a moody mix of Hip-Hop and R&B vibes, reflects a personal exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery. But this was just the beginning. With singles like “Bewafa Sa Waqt” and upcoming projects in multiple languages, Shivanshu is continuously evolving his sound  while keeping his core message authentic and emotional.

Bridging Cultures Through Music and Language

A unique strength that sets Shivanshu apart is his ability to seamlessly switch between Hindi, Haryanvi, Punjabi, and English, writing and composing original lyrics in all four languages. This multilingual approach allows him to reach diverse audiences while preserving the essence of each cultural influence.

“I want people from different backgrounds to feel something real in my music, no matter the language,” he shares. And true to his word, his songs strike emotional chords across linguistic boundaries.

Through his YouTube channel, “Haryanvi Hawa”, Shivanshu has also brought regional theatre into the digital era. The channel, which has gained over 1,000 subscribers, features original Haryanvi plays and entertainment content, helping preserve and modernize Haryana’s cultural storytelling.

An Independent Voice in a Mainstream World

What makes Shivanshu’s journey even more inspiring is that he’s doing it without the support of major labels, PR firms, or industry connections. As a completely independent artist, every lyric written, every note composed, and every video produced is a testament to his self-driven passion and perseverance.

His upcoming single, “Nawabi Peg”, set to release on October 15, 2025, is a bold new sound in his discography  continuing the narrative of resilience, celebration, and emotional complexity that defines his art.

In addition, a collaboration with artist ReGL on a bilingual Hindi-English track is in the works, expanding his musical reach while staying true to his storytelling roots.

Building a Movement, Not Just a Career

More than just building a fan base, Shivanshu aims to inspire young creators to explore independent paths  in music, theatre, or any form of art. His growing impact on social media and music platforms reflects a hunger in the audience for something real, raw, and rooted.

“Independent art is freedom it’s where real voices are heard,” Shivanshu says. And for him, success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about creating work that touches lives and brings regional art to the global stage.
